J - Jan's age
T - Tritt's age

(1) J + 3 = 2T
(2) J + T = 30    |subtract T from both sides
(2) J = 30 - T

subtitute (2) to (1)

30 - T + 3 = 2T
33 - T = 2T    |add T to both sides
3T = 33    |divide both sides by 3
T = 11

subtitute the value of T to (2)

J = 30 - 11
J = 19

Answer: Jan is 19 and Tritt is 11.

J + t = 30
j = 2t - 3

sub eq 2 into eq 1
2t - 3 + t = 30...combine like terms
3t - 3 = 30...add 3 to both sides
3t = 30 + 3
3t = 33...divide both sides by 3
t = 33/3
t = 11 <=== Tritt is 11

j = 2t - 3
j = 2(11) - 3
j = 22 - 3
j = 19 <== Jan is 19

A degree 4 polynomial P(x) with integer coefficients has zeros 5 i and 3, with 3 being a zero of multiplicity 2. Moreover, the c
Sergio039 [100]

Multiplicity is how many times the root repeats

roots r1 and r2 of a polynomial factor to

(x-r1)(x-r2)

so 3 multiplicty 2 means (x-3)^2 is in the factorization of that polynomial


also, for a polynomial with real coefients, if a+bi is a roots, a-bi is also a root

5i is a root, therefor -5i is a root as well


roots are

(x-5i)(x+5i)(x-3)^2

if we expand

x^4-6x^3+34x^2-150x+225

the polynomial is

f(x)=x^4-6x^3+34x^2-150x+225

By the way I looked this up but heres the best ive got
<span>Simplifying (-1x + 27) + (16x + 4) = 0 Reorder the terms: (27 + -1x) + (16x + 4) = 0 Remove parenthesis around (27 + -1x) 27 + -1x + (16x + 4) = 0 Reorder the terms: 27 + -1x + (4 + 16x) = 0 Remove parenthesis around (4 + 16x) 27 + -1x + 4 + 16x = 0 Reorder the terms: 27 + 4 + -1x + 16x = 0 Combine like terms: 27 + 4 = 31 31 + -1x + 16x = 0 Combine like terms: -1x + 16x = 15x 31 + 15x = 0 Solving 31 + 15x = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-31' to each side of the equation. 31 + -31 + 15x = 0 + -31 Combine like terms: 31 + -31 = 0 0 + 15x = 0 + -31 15x = 0 + -31 Combine like terms: 0 + -31 = -31 15x = -31 Divide each side by '15'. x = -2.066666667 Simplifying x = -2.066666667</span>
