Alan bought 20 yards of fencing. He used 5.9 yards to surround one flower garden and 10.3 yards to surround another garden. Writ

e the amount remaining as a fraction in simplest form.

You would add 10.3 and 5.9 which would equal 16.2, and subtract that from 20 and change that decimal into a fraction, which would be 19/50

A polynomial function can be written as (x + 1)(x + 4)(x – 7). What are the x-intercepts of the graph of this function?

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = (x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7)

To find the x- intercepts let f(x) = 0, that is

(x + 1)(x + 4)(x - 7) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x- intercepts are (- 1, 0 ), (- 4, 0 ), (7, 0 )

Write Algebraically: Thirty less than negative fifteen times a number is greater than 54 more than negative three times a number

Yuri [45]

Answer

-15x - 30 > -3x + 54

Explanation

Let's break this sentence down.

Thirty less than means [whatever goes before] minus 30.

Negative fifteen is -15.

Times a number means multiplying by a number. The number will be a variable. And in this case, the variable will be x.

Is greater than means more than.

Negative three is -3.

Times a number means multiplying by a number (in case you forgot or get confused, I wrote it again). That number will be a variable; x. This is the same number.

Now let's write down the equation.

Let's break both sides of the inequality, meaning the left side of 'greater than' and the right side.

The left side says this; "thirty less than negative fifteen times a number."

So let's write this.

So thirty less is minus 30. You are subtracting from "negative fifteen times a number."

Negative fifteen is -15... times a number is -15x.

So the left side of the inequality is -15x - 30.

The right side says this; "54 more than negative three times a number."

54 more than means adding 54 meaning + 54.

And you are adding 54 to "negative three times a number."

Negative three is -3, times a number is -3x.

So the right side of the inequality is -3x + 54.

So the full inequality is -15x - 30 > -3x + 54.

Find the relative rate of change fro each of the following functions. f(x)=x^3 -3x^2

Reika [66]

The rate of change is simply the derivative of a function with respect to the other variable. In this case the rate of change with respect to x is desired. Therefore

f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2
f'(x) = 3x^2 - 6x

therefore the rate of change of y with respect to x is dy/dx = 3x^2 - 6x

Complete the square to write the quadratic expression in vertex form.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1. (x - 3)² = 8

2. (x + 2)² = 3

3. (x + 6)² = $\frac{101}{2}$

4. (x + 3)² = 27

5. (x + 4)² = 13

6. $\bigg( x - \frac{15}{9} \bigg) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} = \frac{29}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Completion of Square: $(x - a) ^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2$

In the following problems the terms in the RHS of the above equation may be missing. We balance the equation. Simplify it and re write it in terms of LHS.

1. x² - 6x + 1 = 0

Taking the constant term to the other side, we get:

x² - 6x = - 1

⇒ x² - 2(3)x = -1

⇒ x² -2(3)x + 9 = - 1 + 9 [Adding 9 to both the sides]

⇒ x² -2(3)x + 3² = 8

⇒ (x - 3)² = 8 is the answer.

2. 3x² + 12x + 3 = 0

Note that the co-effecient of x² is not 1. We make it 1, by dividing the whole equation by 3. And then proceed like the previous problem.

3x² + 12x = -3

Dividing by 3 through out, x² + 4x = - 1

⇒ x² + 2(2) + 4 = -1 + 4

⇒ x² +2(2) + 2² = 3

⇒ (x + 2)² = 3 is the answer.

3. 2x² + 24x = 29

x² + 12x = $\frac{29}{2}$

⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 36 = $\frac{29}{2}$ + 36

⇒ x² + 2(6)x + 6² = $\frac{29 + 72}{2}$

⇒ (x + 6)² = $\frac{101}{2}$ is the answer.

4. x² + 6x - 18 = 0

x² + 6x = 18

⇒ x² + 2(3)x = 18

⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 18 + 9

⇒ x² + 2(3)x + 3² = 27

⇒ (x + 3)² = 27 is the answer.

5. x² + 8x + 3 = 0

x² + 8x = -3

⇒ x² + 2(4)x = -3

⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = - 3 + 16

⇒ x² + 2(4)x + 16 = 13

⇒ (x + 4)² = 13 is the answer.

6. 9x² - 30x + 6 = 0

9x² - 30x = - 6

⇒ x² $- \frac{30}{9}$ x = - 6

$\implies x^2 -2 \bigg( \frac{15}{9} \bigg )x + \frac{225}{81} = - 6 + \frac{225}{81}$

$\implies x^2 - 2\bigg( \frac{15}{9} \bigg ) x + \bigg ( \frac{15}{9} \bigg ) ^2 = \frac{261}{81}$

$\bigg( x - \frac{15}{9} \bigg) ^2 = \frac{261}{81} = \frac{29}{9}$ is the answer.
