Answer: Correct option is A)

It is given that a:(b+c)=1:3 and c:(a+b)=5:7 and we solve these expressions

Step-by-step explanation:

b+c

a

​

=

3

1

​

⇒3a=b+c

⇒3a−b=c....(1)

a+b

c

​

=

7

5

​

⇒7c=5(a+b)

⇒7c=5a+5b....(2)

Multiplying the first equation by 7 we get:

7(3a−b)=7c

⇒7c=21a−7b....(3)

Now, subtracting equation 2 from equation 3, we have:

7c−7c=(21a−7b)−(5a+5b)

⇒0=21a−7b−5a−5b

⇒16a=12b

⇒b=

12

16a

​

⇒b=

3

4a

​

Substituting the value of b in equation 1:

3a−

3

4a

​

=c

⇒c=

3

9a

​

−

3

4a

​

⇒c=

3

9a−4a

​

⇒c=

3

5a

​

Now, lets find the value of b:(a+c) as shown below:

a+c

b

​

=

a+

3

5a

​

3

4a

​

​

=

3

3a

​

5a

​

4a

​

​

=

4a

​

×

8a

=

8a

​

=

2

​

=1:2

hence, b:(a+c)=1:2.

Kit bought a soft drink and a sandwich for $9.00. What was the price of each if the sandwich cost 3.5 times much as the soft dri
astra-53 [7]

Let the cost of the soft drink = C   then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C

 

And

 

C + 3.5C  = Total Cost

 

C + 3.5C  =   9

 

4.5C = 9    divide both sides by 4.5

 

C = 9/4.5  =  $2.00   for the soft drink

 

And  3.5C = 3.5(2.00)  = $7.00   cost of the sandwich

Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial function? f(x)=x3+2x2−16x−32
goblinko [34]
Since it is x^3 cubed it has 3 maximum roots
by the zero multiplication property of function
if you plug find a root then you can deduce it is a factor in other words if f(x)=(x-a)(x-b)
then f(a)=0 and f(b)=0
so
f(2)=8+8-32-32= -48 therefore it is not a factor
f(-2)=-8+8+32-32=0 hence it is a factor
f(4)=64+32-64-32=0 it is a factor
f(-4)=-64+32+64-32=0 it is a factor
f(-6) it is not a factor via the fundmental therom of algebra
f(x)=(x+2)(x-4)(x+4)
=(x^2-16)(x+2)=x^3+2x^2-16x-32 which checks our work
