Nathan read 2 books in 10 months. What was his rate of reading in books per month? Express your answer in simplest form.

5 pages a month

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation

basically you will write a ratio (2:10) and make it into a fraction (2/10).

next to simplify you notice they are both dividable by two so when simplified you get 1/5 or 1:5.

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
