By Vieta’s formula, the sum of the roots equals the coefficient 17.
Subtract 7 from both sides and divide by 6: x = (37-7)/6 = 5.
Percentage=(8/23)×100=34.78.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Use the circle-area formula A = πr². Substituting r = 5 gives A = π × 5² = 25π.
Rewrite the value using base 5: 3125 = 5^5. Matching exponents gives x = 5.
The dot product is 4×2+5×4=28.
An antiderivative is 4/2 x²+4x. At x=5, the value is 70.0.
f′(x)=12x²+10x. Substituting x=4 gives 232.
The coordinate differences are 3 and 4, so the distance is √(3²+4²)=5.

The sum is n(n+1)/2=28, so the mean is 28/7.
aₙ=a₁+(n−1)d=5+(8−1)×4=33.
