Answer: Phoebe have 48 apples.

Explanation:

It is given that Pru, Piper, and Phoebe share apples in the ratio 5:3:4. If Pru has 24 more apples than Piper.

Let the total number of apples be x.

The sum of the ratios is,

Sum=5+3+4=12

Therefore the number of apples shared by Pru, Piper, Phoebe are \frac{5}{12}x, \frac{3}{12}x,\frac{4}{12}x respectively.

It is given that Pru has 24 more apples than Piper, so

\frac{5}{12}x-\frac{3}{12}x=24

\frac{5-3}{12}x=24

\frac{2}{12}x=24

\frac{1}{6}x=24

x=144

Since phoebe have \frac{4}{12}x appels,

\frac{4}{12}x=\frac{4}{12}\times 144=48

Therefore, Phoebe have 48 apples.

Answer:

Phoebe has 48 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Pru's number of apples= 5x

Piper's number of apples= 3x

Phoebe's number of apples= 4x

We know that 5x=3x+24. Solve for x.

5x-3x= 24

2x=24

x=12

12*4= 48

Phoebe has 48 apples

3. How is the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra true for quadratic polynomials?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorm-The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra: If P(x) is a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1, then P(x) = 0 has exactly n roots, including multiple and complex roots.

Let's verify that the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra holds for quadratic polynomials.

A quadratic polynomial is a second degree polynomial. According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the quadratic set = 0 has exactly two roots.

As we have seen, factoring a quadratic equation will result in one of three possible situations.

graph 1

The quadratic may have 2 distinct  real roots. This graph crosses the

x-axis in two locations. These  graphs may open upward  or downward.

graph 2

It may appear that the quadratic  has only one real root. But, it  actually has one repeated root.  This graph is tangent to the x-axis  in one location (touching once).

graph 3

The quadratic may have two  non-real complex roots called  a conjugate pair. This graph will  not cross or touch the x-axis, but  it will have two roots.
