Tony believes that x = -9 is a root of the polynomial x2 + 13x + 36. erika, however, believes that x = 4 is a root of the same polynomial. who is correct?

Multiply 36 and x together in such a way that the multiples add up to 13.

36x

9 and 4 add to 13

Divide and 4 by x.

(x + 9) (x + 4)

Set to zero.

(x + 9) (x + 4) = 0

x = -9

x= -4

Based on above, it is determined that Tony is correct.

x = -9, Tony's assumption is correct.

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

no

step-by-step explanation:

2-7=-5

7-2=5

when you combing like terms for ech expression, 5 and -5. these numbers are not equal to each other.
