Answer:
P(x) = - 7x² + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given zeros x = 2, x = - 2, x = , x = -
Then the factors are (x - 2), (x + 2), (x - ), (x +
)
and the polynomial is the product of the factors, that is
P(x) = (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - )(x +
) ← expand in pairs using FOIL
= (x² - 4)(x² - 3) ← distribute
= - 3x² - 4x² + 12 ← collect like terms
= - 7x² + 12
Answer:
Is that your answer
Total money Marcus has = $28
Money spent to buy a notebook = $3.75
Money left now =
Money needed to be saved = $11.25
So, the amount of money Marcus can spend =
Cost of a packet of chips = $1.30
The inequality to determine the maximum number of chips he can buy is:
Let the number of chips Marcus can buy = x
As he cannot spend more than $13 to buy chips so equation becomes:
Solving this we get
Hence, Marcus can buy a maximum of 10 packs of chips and save $11.25
