On a hunch, I decided to check whether 729 is a 6th power, and found that it is:

729^(1/6) = 3.

Next, I decided to divide x-3 into x^6 + 0x^5 - 9x^4 + 0x^3 - 81x^2 + 0x + 729, through synthetic division and using 3 as my divisor. This left no remainder. The coefficients of the quotient were as follows: 3 3 0 0 -81 -243, which represents:

3x^5 + 3x^4 + 0x^3 + 0x^2 -81x -243

Next, I applied "factoring by grouping:"

3x^4(x+1) -81(x+3) = (x+3)(3x^4 - 81).

Note that 3x^4 - 81 is the same as 3(x^4-27).

Thus, the original polynomial factors into (x-3)(3)(x^4 - 27).

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

f ( 2 ) = 20

Explanation:

To evaluate  f ( 2 )

substitute x = 2 into  f ( x )

f ( 2 ) = ( × 2 2 − ( 4 × 2 × x = 28− 8 = 20

A certain library charges a flat fee of $5 for any overdue book for the first x days the book is overdue, and an additional fee
sweet [91]

Answer: 5 (x > 12) or 5 + m(12 - x) (x < 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

flat fee $5 for first x days +

m dolars per day after x days

So, if x > 12, for 12 days the fee is $5 because it is a flat fee that do not depend of the numbers of day.

But, we do not know how many days x is, so

if x < 12, a person will pay, for 12 days, the m times the difference of the days passed x:

5 + m(12-x)

Jack uses a probability simulator to roll a six-sided number cube 100 times and to flip a coin 100 times. The results of the exp
Mandarinka [93]

The experimental probability is the number of specific outcomes divided by the sample size...


P(6)=27/100  (27%)


P(H)=41/100  (41%)


Not sure, but if you meant rolling a 6 AND getting a head then:


P(6 AND H)=(27/100)(41/100)=1107/10000  (11.07%)
