Which of the following best describes the relationship between (x + 1) and the polynomial x2 - x - 2? a. it is impossible to tell whether (x + 1) is a factor. b. (x + 1) is not a factor. c. (x + 1) is a factor.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

to factor x² - x - 2

consider the factors of the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x-term.

the factors are - 2 and + 1 since - 2 × 1 = - 2 and - 2 + 1 = - 1

x² - x - 2 = (x - 2)(x + 1), hence (x + 1) is a factor

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
