If popcorn is p and water is w the equation can be written as

3p + w = 9.25

because there was 3 boxes of popcorn and one water (hence the coefficients) and the total is 9.25

then plug in 1.75 for w the price of water:

3p+ 1.75 = 9.25

you can move stuff around algebraically now (subtract 1.75 on both sides and divide by three on both aides) to get the cost of one box of popcorn (p).

The answer is 2.50

larisa [96]

\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}

\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1)  +2x(2x+1) +  (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2

Find the value of the variables in the simplest form
STatiana [176]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan60° = \sqrt{3}

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{3} } = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by \sqrt{3} )

x = 3
