So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
( divide numerator and denominator by 5 ) , then
=
( with missing number ? = 5 )
Three numbers you can multiply to get 160. First, we make an equation.
Since 160 is divisible by 4, we will make the equation this.
(#1 * #2 * 4 = 160)
Divide 160 by 4, and you get this. #1 * #2 = 40
Now, we divide 40 by 2.
The final answer is 2, 20, and 4.
2x20x4= 160
Given:

and,
K = 1
We would require to do the synthetic division of the above problem in order to know whether K=1 is a lower bound or not. Let's do it!
Steps of Synthetic Division:
1. Write the coefficients of the equation, and before that write 1. Like,
1 ║ 4 -2 2 4
As you can see, the coefficients of the equation are seperated by ║.
2. Drop down the first value after ║as it is. Like:
1 ║ 4 -2 2 4
:
----------------------
4
3. Multiply 4 with 1 and then place the resultant value under -2 and then add that resultant value with -2. Like
1 ║ 4 -2 2 4
:
4----------------------
4
24. Repeat Step 3 until you're done.
1 ║ 4 -2 2 4
: 4
2 ----------------------
4 2
4
1 ║ 4 -2 2 4
: 4 2
4----------------------
4
2 4
8
Now every value, +4, +2, +4, +8, under the bar(---------) is positive; therefore, it means that
K=1 is the upper bound, NOT lower bound.
Ans: K=1 is NOT a lower bound.
-i
The answer is a, hope this helped
