Answer:

Large boxes are 18.25 kg

Small boxes are 15.25 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations. You need to set up each equation first.

I am assigning x to be big boxes and y to be small boxes.

5x + 3y = 137

2x + 6y = 128

To solve, you will need to eliminate a variable. That means you will have to multiply one of the equations by a number to make it so a variable will be eliminated. I will be multiplying the top equation by -2.

-2 ( 5x + 3y = 137)

    2x + 6y = 128

Distribute the -2 to everything in the parentheses in the first equation.

-10x - 6y = -274

2x + 6y = 128

Notice the 6y will go away because -6y + 6y = 0. Now add the equations together. The remaining equation is:

-8x = -146

Solve for x by dividing by -8.

x = 18.25

Now plug that into one of the original equations.

2(18.25) + 6y = 128.

36.5 + 6y = 128                Subtract 36.5 from each side

-36.5            -36.5

6y = 91.5                          Divide by 6 to solve

y = 15.25

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots -8, 1, and 6i, what must also be a root of f(x)?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

it must also have the root : - 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial is expressed with real coefficients (which must be the case if it is a function f(x) in the Real coordinate system), then if it has a complex root "a+bi", it must also have for root the conjugate of that complex root.

This is because in order to render a polynomial with Real coefficients, the binomial factor  (x - (a+bi)) originated using the complex root would be able to eliminate the imaginary unit, only when multiplied by the binomial factor generated by its conjugate: (x - (a-bi)). This is shown below:

(x-(a+bi))*(x-(a-bi))=\\(x-a-bi)*(x-a+bi)=\\([x-a]-bi)*([x-a]+bi)=\\(x-a)^2-(bi)^2=\\(x-a)^2-b^2(-1)=\\(x-a)^2+b^2

where the imaginary unit has disappeared, making the expression real.

So in our case, a+bi is -6i (real part a=0, and imaginary part b=-6)

Then, the conjugate of this root would be: +6i, giving us the other complex root that also may be present in the real polynomial we are dealing with.

Last question please help me
Inessa [10]

Answer: OPTION D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

SA_{rp}=2(wh+lw+lh)

Where w is the width, h is the height and l is the length.

You can see in the figure attached that:

l=3.4ft

w=3ft

h=4.1ft

Therefore, when you substitute these values into the formula you obtain that the surface area is:

SA_{rp}=2[(3ft*4.1ft)+(3.4ft*3ft)+(3.4ft*4.1ft)]=72.88ft^{2}
