Answer with explanation:

The expression whose factor we have to find is

   f(x) = 3x^3 + 8x^2 - 87x + 28\\\\f(x)=3*[x^3+\frac{8x^2}{3}-29x+\frac{28}{3}]\\\\\text{By rational root test possible roots are}\\\\ \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4,\pm 7,\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm \frac{2}{3},\pm \frac{4}{3},\pm \frac{7}{3},\pm 28.

First two options are rejected as the expression can,t have factor \pm\frac{1}{4}.

  f(4)=3*4^3+8*4^2-87*4+28\\\\f(4)=192+128-348+28\\\\f(4)=348-348\\\\f(4)=0\\\\f(-4)=3*(-4)^3+8*(-4)^2-87*(-4)+28\\\\f(4)=-192+128+348+28\\\\f(4)\neq 0

So, root of the expression is , x=4.

Option C: x-4

Answer:

H = 11m

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, volume = length * breadth/width * height

Given,

length = 6m

Breadth/width = 3 1/2 or 3.5

Height = ?

So, l * b * h = v

=> 6m * 3.5m * h = 231m

=> 21m * h = 231m

=> h = 231m /21m = 11m

Therefore, height = 11m / 11metres

Hope this helps

You roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7, you win $18; if you roll a total of 11, you win $54; if you roll any o

Answer: -1
The negative value indicates a loss

============================================================

Explanation:

Define the three events
A = rolling a 7
B = rolling an 11
C = roll any other total (don't roll 7, don't roll 11)

There are 6 ways to roll a 7. They are
1+6 = 7
2+5 = 7
3+4 = 7
4+3 = 7
5+2 = 7
6+1 = 7
Use this to compute the probability of rolling a 7
P(A) = (number of ways to roll 7)/(number total rolls) = 6/36 = 1/6
Note: the 36 comes from 6*6 = 36 since there are 6 sides per die

There are only 2 ways to roll an 11. Those 2 ways are:
5+6 = 11
6+5 = 11
The probability for event B is P(B) = 2/36 = 1/18

Since there are 6 ways to roll a "7" and 2 ways to roll "11", there are 6+2 = 8 ways to roll either event. 
This leaves 36-8 = 28 ways to roll anything else
P(C) = 28/36 = 7/9

-----------------------------

In summary so far,
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = 1/18
P(C) = 7/9

The winnings for each event, let's call it W(X), represents the prize amounts.
Any losses are negative values
W(A) = amount of winnings if event A happens 
W(B) = amount of winnings if event B happens
W(C) = amount of winnings if event C happens
W(A) = 18
W(B) = 54
W(C) = -9

Multiply the probability P(X) values with the corresponding W(X) values
P(A)*W(A) = (1/6)*(18) = 3
P(B)*W(B) = (1/18)*(54) = 3
P(C)*W(C) = (7/9)*(-9) = -7

Add up those results
3+3+(-7) = -1

The expected value for this game is -1.
The player is expected to lose on average 1 dollar per game played.


Note: because the expected value is not 0, this is not a fair game.

Two similar pyramids have base areas of 122 cm? and 16 cm? The surface area of the larger pyramid is 56 cm
Komok [63]

Answer:

42.7 cm sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

small/large = 16 / 122

16/122 = S / 56

S = 56 * (16/122) = 7.34...

however not in the choice

ah ha..

You meant :    12.2 sq. cm :  16 sq. cm  = small / large

so   12.2 / 16 = S / 56 cm

S = 42.7 sq. cm

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

(3, 1)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>

3x + y = 10

y = x - 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute:                    3x + (x - 2) = 10
  2. Combine like terms:     4x - 2 = 10
  3. Isolate <em>x </em>term:               4x = 12
  4. Isolate <em>x</em>:                        x = 3

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:          y = x - 2
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                           y = 3 - 2
  3. Subtract:                                     y = 1

And we have our answer!
