Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = a [x - (-2)] [x - (-1)] (x - 3)
with a ≠ 0.
f(x) = a(x + 2)(x + 1)((x - 3)
Use f(4) = 10 to find a.
10 = a(4 + 2)(4 + 1)(4 - 3) = 30a
a = 1/3
f(x) = (1/3)(x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 3)
Answer:
598 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of books in the 3rd pile. We will have then:
1st pile: 2x + 10
2nd pile: 2x
3rd pile: x
3000 = (2x + 10) + (2x) + (x)
3000 = 5x + 10
3000 - 10 = 5x
2990 = 5x
2990/5 = x
x = 598 books in the third pile!
We can check that:
3000 = 2*598 + 10 + 2*598 + 598
3000 = 1196 + 10 + 1196 + 598
3000 = 3000 CHECK!
(-2•1/3x) (-2)(-1)/5= (-2/3x)+(2/5)
