Sandy and Maria worked the following weekly hours this summer at a summer camp. Which of the following statements are true?

sandy - 15, 25, 12, 30, 26, 18
maria - 14, 19, 26, 42, 15, 10

a) the interquartile range for sandy is less than the interquartile range for maria
b) the mean for sandy is greater than the mean for maria
c) the median for maria is greater than the median for sandy
d) the range for maria is less than the range for sandy

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!

p(x)= 8 x³ - 36 x² + 54 x - 27

q(x) = 2 x -3

you can check your mistake and then you can choose the correct option.

dividend =   8 x³ - 36 x² + 54 x - 27

divisor = 2 x -3

if you want to find quotient, proceed as follows

q(x)= 0

2 x - 3=0

x =

now , i have used division method , to find quotient and remainder
