Which polynomial function has a leading coefficient of 1, roots -2 and 7 with multiplicity 1, and root 5 with multiplicity 2?

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

If it has a leading coefficient of 1, then it can not (A) or (B) because they have a two in front of it. Next, we can check the roots -2 and 7. -2 goes with (x+2), while 7 goes with (x-7). Therefore, you can already see that the answer is (D). To make sure. let us check the root 5 with multiplicity of 2. 5 goes with (x-5), implying that there must be 2 (x-5)'s. Only (D) satifies that as well, so the answer must be (D).

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
