The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. If a weight of 15lb

15⁢lb stretches a certain spring 19in. 19⁢in. , how far will the spring stretch if the weight is increased to 30lb 30⁢lb ? (Leave the variation constant in fraction form. Round off your final answer to the nearest in.)

Answer: the spring would be stretched by 38 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. Let L represent the length of the spring and let w represent the weight placed at the end of the spring. Introducing a constant of variation, k, the expression would be

L = kW

If a weight of 15lb stretches a certain spring 19in, the expression would be

19 = 15k

k = 19/15

The equation would be

L = 19w/15

if the weight is increased to 30lb, then the length by which the spring would be stretched is

L = 19 × 30/15

L = 38 inches

Approximate the real number solution(s) to the polynomial function f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 5x − 6.
nadya68 [22]
F(1) = (1)^3 + 2(1)^2 - 5(1) - 6 = 1 + 2 - 5 - 6 = -8; x = 1 is not a solution to the polynomial.
f(-1) = (-1)^3 + 2(-1)^2 - 5(-1) - 6 = -1 + 2 + 5 - 6 = 0; x = -1 is a solution to polynomial.
From the options, a or c has x = -1, both has x = , so lets check for x = 3
f(3) = (3)^3 + 2(3)^2 - 5(3) - 6 = 27 + 18 - 15 - 6 = 24; x = 3 is not a solution to the polynomial.
Therefore the solutions to the polynomial are x = -3, x = -1, x = 2
