Need math expert! which of the following best describes the relationship between (x + 1) and the polynomial x2 - x - 2? a. it is impossible to tell whether (x + 1) is a factor. b.(x + 1) is not a factor. c.(x + 1) is a factor.

C. (x+1) is a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to factor the polynomial x^2 - x - 2.

It is written in the form ax^2 + bx + c

a = 1

b = -1

c = -2

Since the coefficient in front of x^2 is 1 we can start with (x + _) (x + _).

Now we need to find a pair of numbers that when multiplied together equal -2 (c) and when added together equal -1  (b).

The only pairs of numbers that multiply to make -2 are: -2 and 1, -1 and 2

The pair must also equal -1 when added together.

-1 + 2 = 1

-2 + 1 = -1

Therefore, to fill in the blanks for (x+_)(x+_) we should use -2 and 1.

x^2 - x - 2 factored becomes: (x-2)(x+1)

As you can see, (x+1) is a factor of x^2 - x - 2, so you can select c.

it is c, trust i got your back lol

step-by-step explanation:

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

​    

=240

=48
