Answer:
x = - 3 with multiplicity 2
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 3)(x + 3) = (x - 3)(x + 3)²
Equating each factor to zero and solving for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3 with multiplicity 1
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3
Thus x = - 3 has multiplicity of 2
The fact that the factor is squared gives the multiplicity
(x + 3)³ has root - 3 of multiplicity 3
Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
Answer:
l = 0.13x+1025
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the monthly sales be x
Monthly income = $1025 + 13% of monthly sales
Monthly income = $1025 + 0.13x
Since l represent the monthly income
l = 1025+0.13x
Rearrange
l = 0.13x + 1025
Hence the linear equation representing the statement is l = 0.13x+1025
5.268 • 10 to the power of 13
( the decimal point would have to move 14 times to the left)
Answer:
the handle will end up on the left side
Step-by-step explanation:
The cup is rotated 180 degrees clockwise. Therefore, I assume the rotation is about the center of the bottom of the cup. Also, only the cup is rotated, not the saucer (although this makes no difference in this problem).
The result is that the handle will end up on the left side. The cup will still be right side up.
