Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If x - 1 is a factor of the cubic, then 1 should result in 0 when you put it in the cubic for x. Does it?
f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 15(1)^2 + 22(1) + 15
f(1) = 2 - 15 + 22 + 15
f(1)= 24.
No the result is not zero. So x - 1 is not a factor.
However there must be something that makes this cubic go to zero. The easiest way to find it is to graph it.
The numbers that do make this zero are -0.5, 3, 5
Which mean that the factors are (2x+1)(x-3)(x - 5)
There are 5+6+4+3+2=20 m&m's in the bag.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 20:
There are 6 yellow m&m's.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 6:
The probability is the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 6 m&m's divided by the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 20 m&m's.
The probability is 1/57.
Answer:
$6500
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of money invested by Lian be $x
Interest rate = 5.2% per year
interest earned in first year will be 5.2% of amount of money invested by Lian .
(note: since in first year there will be no interest accrued on interest so interest for first year is simple interest )
interest earned in one year if money invested by Lian is $x
= 5.2% of $x (1)
But , it is given in one year she received interest of 338 dollars
so, 338 dollars must be equal to 5.2% of $x
equating $338 with 5.2% of $x , we have
5.2% of x = 338
=> (5.2/100) * x = 338
=>5.2 x = 338*100
=> x = 33800/5.2 = 6500.
Thus, amount of money Lian invested is $6500.
