Suppose x pounds of 0.46 copper and y pounds of 0.69 copper are used to make 43 pounds of 0.6 copper, thus
x+y=43
⇒x=43-y......i
Also:
0.46x+0.69y=0.6×43
0.46x+0.69y=25.8.....ii
substituting i in ii we get:
0.46(43-y)+0.69y=25.8
19.78-0.46y+0.69y=25.8
putting like terms together we obtain:
0.23y=6.02
y=26.174
hence:
x=16.826

Answer:

f(x)=x(x-5)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the steps of the factorization of the polynomial f(x) is not given, I will proceed to give the correct factorization of f(x).

f(x)=x³-3x²-10x

First, we factor out x since it is a common term.

f(x)=x(x²-3x-10)

Next, we factorize the quadratic expression x²-3x-10.

f(x)=x(x²-5x+2x-10)

f(x)=x(x(x-5)+2(x-5))

f(x)=x(x-5)(x+2)

The correct factorization of the polynomial f(x)=x³-3x²-10x is: f(x)=x(x-5)(x+2)

Go step by step to reduce the radical. V108 VOVO try You must answer all questions above in order to submit.
katen-ka-za [31]

To reduce the radical, you have to factorize 108.

108 is a multiple of 3, so to factorize it, you can divide it by 3

\frac{108}{3}=36

You can rewrite the square root as:

\sqrt[]{3\cdot36}=\sqrt[]{3}\cdot\sqrt[]{36}

The square root of 36 is equal to 6 so you can write the expression as:

\sqrt[]{3}\cdot\sqrt[]{36}=6\sqrt[]{3}

Which ones are greater than the other
irakobra [83]

1. 0.91<0.93; 0.91 is farther away from the whole number 1 so it is less than 0.93.

2. 0.5=0.50; 0.5 and 0.50 are the same, since the decimal can be written with or without the zero.

3. 1.08<1.6; 1.08 is farther away from the whole number 2, so it is less than 1.6.
