4. P(-2) = 0 , therefore x + 2 is a factor of .
or R = 0, therefore x + 2 is a factor of .
5. P( 2) = -12, therefore x - 2 is not a factor of .
6. P(5) = 0 , therefore x + 2 is a factor of .

22. Solution:

Let x be the number

x 2 square of the number
 The number could -9 or 8.

23. Solution:

Let A be the area of the chalkboard

A= ft2
Let L be the length
L= ft
Let W be the width

A = LW

24. Solution:

Let x be the height it reaches on the tree

Let W be the length of the wire

W
X
Using Pythagorean Theorem,

5 ft

The length of the wire is 13 ft.
