The are of his backyard is 10.4 times 15.83 or 164.632 yd^2
the sod piecs are 1.33 by 1.33 or 1.78 yd^2
so divide 164.632 by 1.78 or
164.632/1.78=92.5 pieces of sod
if he is buying the sod in pieces, he will have to buy 93 pieces because he can't buy 1/2 sod
Answer:
So f(x) has no real greater than 8. Step - by - step explanation is shown in the attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f ( x) be a polynomial with real coefficients and with a positive lending coefficient.
If f(x) is divided by x-c and
a) if c>0 and all number in the bottom row of the synthetic division are non negative , then f(x) has no zero greater than c.
b ) if c<0 and the number in the bottom row of the synthetic division alternate in sign then f (x) has no zero less than c
As shown in the figure
Since the number in the bottom row of the synthetic division alternate in sign
So f(x) has no real greater than 8
3x² - 39x + 36
3(x²) - 3(13x) + 3(12)
3(x² - 13x + 12)
3(x² - 12x - x + 12)
3(x(x) - x(12) - 1(x) + 1(12))
3(x(x - 12) - 1(x - 12))
3(x - 1)(x - 12)
<span>Using processing software (Excel) or even a decent scientific calculator. You input the values and generate the best fit cubic equation.
For number 1, the equation is
y = 8x10</span>⁻⁵ x³ - 0.0097 x² + 0.374 x + 1.083
where x is the number of years since 1900
y is the pounds cheese consumed
For number 2, the equation is
y = -3x10⁻⁵ x³ + 0.0028 x² + 0.2155 x + 1.7736
For number 3
P(-1) = 18
