Hi there! We are asked to find the graph that represents the cubic function y = x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6. To do this, we have to find the roots of the function, and we can do that by using the Rational Root Theorem, which is basically constant over the leading coefficient. <u>+</u> 6 / <u>+</u> 1 Now, just list all the factors of 6 and replace that as the numerators. Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6 <u>+</u>1, <u>+</u>2, <u>+</u>3, <u>+</u>6 / <u>+</u>1 Now, just simplify for each one. We get the possible roots: 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 6, -6. All we have to do now is plug each one back into the equation and see which ones turn out to evaluate the function to zero. After doing so, we get the roots 1, -2, and 3. Now, look for the graph that has x-intercepts of 1, -2, and 3, and the only graph that works is Graph B. Therefore, the graph that represents the function y = x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6 is Graph B. Hope this helps and have a marvelous day!
Brand X has to mix 8.4 oz of brand A mixed nuts which contain 35% peanuts and 12.6 oz of brand B mixed nuts which contain 25%, to obtain 21 oz. Bags of mixed nuts that contain 29% peanuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi
We define
, wich means Brand A has 1 oz containing 35% peanuts.
, wich means Brand b has 1 oz containing 25% peanuts.
So we can build an equiation system
(1)
(2), after fixing it a little
(2)
As we can use any method to solve the system, I used a calculator wich thrown the following results and .
essentially the plan that increases the price the most per week reaches the goal of $12 fastest.
plan A is $0.10 per week.
plan B it is not clear, if it means 10% of the original price every week, or every week 10% of the price of the previous week. I assume the first and simplest.
that means 10% of $8 = $0.80 per week.
plan C : the same amount every week until reaching $12. we need to increase in total by $4 (from $8 to $12). to reach these $4 in 8 weeks, we need to increase the price every week by 4/8 = $0.50.
plan D : $0.25 per week.
so, the plan with the highest increase every week and therefore the fastest one reaching $12 is plan B.
