Quantity 2

2.5

Unit 2

hours

=?

= 12 miles per hour

Showing Work

This is a fraction equal to

30 miles ÷ 2.5 hours

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 2.5

30 miles÷ 2.5

2.5 hours÷ 2.5

=

12 miles

1 hour

=

12 miles

= 12 miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

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!
