The speed of light is 3 x 10⁸ m/s (meters per second). A. if the sun is 1.5 x 10¹¹ meters from earth, how many seconds does it take light to reach the earth? B. How many minutes does it take light to reach the earth?​

one set of data has more variation than the other. hope this !

25/14 or 1.

step-by-step explanation:

the dots mean that it has infinitely more numbers behind it

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
