Write an equation that represents the problem, then solve the problem.

1 answer:

4 0

So 7/4 decreased by a number -x is 2 =2 or
7/4-x=2
add x to both sides
7/4=2+x
subtract 2 from both sides
2=8/4
7/4-8/4=-1/4
x=-1/4

Margaret [11]

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: 8/5×15/32 equals 3/4

8/5 * 15/32= Now you must use inverse operations five goes into 15 3Times 8goes into 32 4 times Crossout eight and five cross out 15 and 30 to 3×1 = 3 and 4×1 = 4 so 8/5×15/32 equals 3/4

What is the value of the leading coefficient a, if the polynomial function P(x) = a(x + b)2(x − c) has a multiplicity of 2 at th

kirill115 [55]

If the polynomial function $P(x) = a(x + b)^2(x-c)$ has a multiplicity of 2 at the point (−1, 0) then the factor (x-(-1))=(x+1) twice enters the polynomial representation. So, you have known one part of the left side of the polynomial function that is $P(x) = a(x + 1)^2(x-c)$ .

If polynomial function passes through the point (7,0), then $0 = a(7+ 1)^2(7-c)$ and since $a\neq 0$ you have that c=7.

At last, if polynomial function passes through the point (0,-14), then $-14 = a(0+ 1)^2(0-7)$ and $-14=-7a$ , so a=2.
Answer: a=2.
