Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 1) x³ + 6x² + 0x + 5 ( x + 5

- (<u>x³ + x² - x</u>)

5x² + x + 5

-(<u>5x² + 5x - 5)</u>

-4x + 10

Result : $x+5+\frac{-4x+10}{(x^{2}+x-1)}$

By the comparing the result with the Lorie's solution,

She made a mistake in the last step in which she combined the constant incorrectly.

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

Answer:

(a) 3, 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In the experiment, 43 are to be given a gel that contains the tooth-whitening chemicals while the remaining 42 are to be given a placebo. Therefore, a placebo is used.

The 43 that will receive the gel are to be selected randomly.

After the experiment, the whiteness of the two groups will be compared to see the effect of the gel.

Therefore for the experiment to be completely random, 3, 5, and 6 apply.

(b)

For the experiment to be double-blind, the researchers who will evaluate the whiteness and interact with the subjects, and the subjects would not know which subjects received either the whitening gel or the placebo.

Which product is modeled by the number line below? A number line going from negative 8 to positive 8. An arrow goes from 0 to ne

Mariana [72]

Answer: (-2)(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The model could be explained as follows ;

Step 1 : 0 - - - - > - 2 = - 2 units

Step 2 : -2 - - - - > -4 = - 2 units

Step 3: - 4 - - - - > -6 = - 2 units

Step 4: - 6 - - - - > -8 = - 2 units

-2 units for reach of the 4 steps

Therefore, model is expressed as :

(-2) × 4

(-2)(4)

If 5 + 6i is a root of the polynomial function f(x), which of the following must also be a root of f(x)? –5 – 6i 5 – 6i 6 – 5i 6

san4es73 [151]

Answer: 5-6i

The rule is that if f(x) has real number coefficients, then a root of x = a+bi pairs up with its conjugate pair of x = a - bi. In this case, a = 5 and b = 6.
