I don't know if I'm right or not. I think it's C, but I'm not too sure.

In the polynomial below, what number should replace the question mark to produce a difference of squares? x2 + ? x - 36

Farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. here are data on the "penetrability" of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil. compressed soil 2.85 2.66 3 2.82 2.76 2.81 2.78 3.08 2.94 2.86 3.08 2.82 2.78 2.98 3.00 2.78 2.96 2.90 3.18 3.16 intermediate soil 3.17 3.37 3.1 3.40 3.38 3.14 3.18 3.26 2.96 3.02 3.54 3.36 3.18 3.12 3.86 2.92 3.46 3.44 3.62 4.26 use the data, omitting the high outlier, to give a 95% confidence interval for the decrease in penetrability of compressed soil relative to intermediate soil. compute degrees of freedom using the conservative method. interval: to

Afamily has two cars. the first car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas. during one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1025 miles, for a total gas consumption of 55 gallons. how many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?
