Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- Q(s) = -4s^3 + 7s^2 - 24;
- s = -4 and 1
<u>Verifying zeroes</u>
Q(-4) =
- -4(-4)^3 + 7(-4)^2 - 24 =
- 256 + 112 - 24 =
- 344
- Incorrect as 344 ≠ 0
Q(1) =
- -4(1)^3 + 7(1)^2 - 24 =
- -12 + 7 - 24 =
- -29
- Incorrect as -29 ≠ 0
Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53 (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a - 3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
5b = 80
b = 80/5
b = 16
Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37
The numbers are 16 and 37</span>
If we consider each alphabet is at 1 unit, then U is at a distance of 1 unit and X is at a distance of 4 units . To find the scale factor, we need to see 1 multiply by what is equal to 4. And 1*4=4
So the scale factor is 4 . And the answer is 4 .
