137.5 I took the test and got 100%
Answer:
x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
Step-by-step explanation:
If <em>a</em> is a zero, then (<em>x-a</em>) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...
p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)
Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.
= (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)
We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.
= (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)
= x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160
p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
_____
The graph shows this polynomial has the required zeros.
Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.
Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133
So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.
-15x-9y=-165.
11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.
3(2+x)
open the parenthesis
= 6 + 3x
3(2+x) = 6 + 3x
Hence the statement of equality is true
H is the correct option
