Lauren buys 17 1/2 pounds of bread for her restaurant every day at a cost of $1.40 per pound
How much does she pay for the bread each day?
O A. $12.50
B. $18.20
C. $18.90
D. $24.50

24.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1.40 per pound so 17 x 1.40= 23.80

1.40/2= .70 this is for the half pound

so now add 23.80+.70=24.50

13.46

step-by-step explanation:

16.80 x .20 = 13.46

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!
