Answer:

Patel will require more orange juice = $\frac{371}{660}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Patel needs the orange juice for his family = 3 cups

He needs more orange juice = 3 cups - Sum of juice squeezed from different oranges

$=3-(\frac{13}{15}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{9}{20}+\frac{5}{11}+\frac{7}{15})$

L.C.M. of the denominators = 660

$=3-\frac{572+132+297+300+308}{660}$

$=3-\frac{1609}{660}$

= $\frac{1980-1609}{660}$

= $\frac{371}{660}$

Therefore, amount of orange juice required more = $\frac{371}{660}$ cups

So if we see the first one (8,4) x=8 and y=4

And we see the 2nd one (4,y) x=4 and y=?

We notice that the value of x its been halved. So y varies with x so y value also has to be halved so y= 2

Which expression is a factor of x^2 + 2x – 15?

Ksju [112]

To factor this you need values that add up to 2 and multiply to -15

So you get 5,-3 then you put it into your equation for you b value

X^2+5x-3x-15

Then you can factor by grouping

X(x+5)-3(x+5)

So your factors are

(X+5)(x-3)
