Answer:
18.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If you covert this into a mixed fraction it would be 75/4 (4*18 is 72 then add the 3 in the numerator) then divide, 75/4 = 18.75 (sorry if explanation is bad)
In order to answer this question, we must break this mathematical expression up into a series of mathematical operations (exponent, multiplication,division, addition, and/or subtraction):
"4 times a number" - The word "times" implies that we have to multiply 4 by an unknown number. We can simply label this unknown number as x.
"cubed" - In order to "cube" a number, we must raise it to the third power, or have an exponent of 3. Our unknown number of x now becomes x3 because we raised it to the third power.
"decreased by 7" - The word "decreased" implies that we must subtract 7 from the product of 4 multiplied by x3
With all of the information we now have, we can form an algebraic expression for this problem.
"4 times a number cubed decreased by 3" now becomes:
4x3 - 7
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = - 3 with multiplicity 2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 3)(x + 3) = (x - 3)(x + 3)²
Equating each factor to zero and solving for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 with multiplicity 1
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3
Thus x = - 3 has multiplicity of 2
The fact that the factor is squared gives the multiplicity
(x + 3)³ has root - 3 of multiplicity 3
