A:
Answer:The answer to your question is belowStep-by-step explanation:To answer this question just clear x from the divisor. 3x + 5 = 0 3x + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5 3x = -5 3x/3 = -5/3 x = - 5/3 First questionNow evaluate the function at x = - 5/3 p(-5/3) = 3(-5/3)⁵ + 2(-5/3)² - 5 p(-5/3) = 3(-3125/243) + 2(25/9) - 5 p(-5/3) = 3(-12.86) + 5.56 - 5 p(-5/3) = -38.58 + 5.56 - 5 p(-5/3) = -38.02 Second question
