The only option that meets the root theorem is option b.

<h3>which of the following is a possible root of the polynomial function below?</h3>

The polynomial function is:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 9

The rational root theorem says that if a root is a rational number, then the leading coefficient must be divisible by the denominator of the rational number and the constant term must be divisible by the numerator.

In this case, the constant is 9, and the only option such that the constant is divisible by the numerator is option b: 3

Where 3 is a rational number:

3 = 3/1

The numerator is 3 (which divides 9) and the denominator is 1 (which divides the leading coefficient 9. (notice that it meets the theorem, but it is not an actual root).

I went to a restaurant and gave the waitress a $15 tip. If the tip was 20% of the dinner how much was the dinner?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Dinner only: $75

Dinner and Tip: $90

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tip was $15, and the tip was 20% of the price of dinner, then dinner was $75.

You can find this out by doing 15/20%, which should give you 75.

If the question requires you to add up the price of dinner and the tip, then the total price would be $90

Simplify and verify the results for
KatRina [158]

Answer:

21440

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Simplify:</h2>
  • (7x³ + 8x² - 3)(x² - 5)

Start by multiplying 7x³ by x² and -5.

  • 7x⁵ - 35x³ + (8x² - 3)(x² - 5)    

Multiply 8x² by x² and -5.

  • 7x⁵ - 35x³ + 8x⁴ - 40x² + (-3)(x² - 5)

Multiply -3 by x² and -5.

  • 7x⁵ - 35x³ + 8x⁴ - 40x² -3x² + 15

Combine like terms together.

  • 7x⁵ - 35x³ + 8x⁴ - 43x² + 15

Rearrange the terms in descending power order.

  • 7x⁵ + 8x⁴ - 35x³ - 43x² + 15  
<h2>Verify (I): </h2>

Substitute x = 5 into the above polynomial.

  • 7(5)⁵ + 8(5)⁴ - 35(5)³ - 43(5)² + 15

Evaluate the exponents first.

  • 7(3125) + 8(625) - 35(125) - 43(25) + 15

Multiply the terms together.

  • 21875 + 5000 - 4375 - 1075 + 15

Combine the terms together.

  • 21440

This is the answer when substituting x = 5 into the simplified expression.

<h2>Verify (II):</h2>

Substitute x = 5 into the expression.

  • [7(5)³ + 8(5)² - 3][(5)² - 5]

Evaluate the exponents first.

  • [7(125) + 8(25) - 3][(25) - 5]

Multiply the terms in the first bracket next.

  • [875 + 200 - 3][25 - 5]

Evaluate the expressions inside the brackets.

  • [1072][20]

Multiply these two terms together.

  • 21440

This is the answer when substituting x = 5 into the original (unsimplified) expression.

Judys brother sam has a collection of 96 comic book. What are the ten way sam could divide his comic books into equal groups?
Georgia [21]
We have been given that Judy’s brother Sam has a collection of 96 comic books.
We have been asked to find the 10 ways Sam could divide his comic books into equal groups.
This can be done as follows:
96 can be written as .
Thus, we can either have 2 groups of 48 comics or 48 groups of 2 comics. As we can see we have 2 ways to divide the comic books in equal groups.
Likewise, 96 can also be written as . Here, we can similarly see that we can either have 3 groups of 32 comics or 32 groups of 3 comics. As we can again see we have 2 more ways to divide the comic books in equal groups, taking the total number of ways to 4.
Continuing in this manner we will see that we can have 4 groups of 24 or 24 groups of 4, 6 groups of 16 or 16 groups of 6 and lastly 12 groups of 8 or 8 groups of 12 comic books, thus taking the count to a total of 10 ways in which Sam can divide his comic books into equal groups.
