Explain how you could use the distributive property to find how many gallons of water are pumped out of the black hole in 2 1/2 minutes. Riders plummet 500 feet as water is pumped out at 1,000 gallons per minute.

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!

wow ok so the answer is 1k or just k

because of combining like terms xd

choice b

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 88x^2 -264x + 300

the line of symmetry of a parabola is defined by

h = -b/2a

where ax^2 +bx+c=0

so

h = - -264/ (2*88)

h = 3/2

so x = 1.5
