A baseball player reaches first base 3 out of 10 times he is at bat. If the baseball player bats 80 times, about how many times will the player reach first base?

I think the answer is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer is 24 because if the baseball player hit the bat and ran the base 3 out of 10 times, then you would multiply 8 x 3 to get 24 out of 80. I don't know if this is the correct answer, this is just what I think it may be.

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!
