has degree 3, so it takes the general form

It has a root
of multiplicity 2, which means
divides
exactly, and it has a root of
of multiplicity 1 so that
also is a factor. So

Expanding this gives


The
-intercept occurs for
, for which we have

Then



So we have

26.90 is the answer. hope this helps!
Total meat in the recipe he wants to use = 7 pounds
Beef : pork = 3 : 1
Total pork that he will use =

hope this helps
<span>9c+(8+3c)
9c+8+3c (collect like terms)
9c+3c+8
12c+8
12c+8 is the answer.
im not sure if your teacher also wants the answer to be in simplest form so im going to do that below as well:
12c+8 (4*3=12 and 4*2=8. you can take out a 4 from those 2 numbers)
4(3c+2) (this is the simplest form of </span>9c+(8+3c)<span>)
