Whats the answer to this
product = -5
sum = -6
maybe they made a mistake on the worksheet or im just dumb but

They're asking you to find two numbers that multiply to -5 and add to -6 at the same time

Here are all the ways to write a product of -5

-1*5 = -5

1*(-5) = -5

The list is short because 5 is prime, so 5 = 1*5. The negative just moves from one term to the next (from 1 to 5)

As you can see, adding up these factors leads to

-1+5 = 4

1 + (-5) = -4

Neither of which are -6 like we want

So there is either a mistake in the worksheet, or the polynomial can't be factored. If a polynomial can't be factored, then we consider it to be a prime polynomial.

step-by-step explanation:

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
