Answer:

The shrinkage as a percentage of sales is 1.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the percentage of the sales that can be contributed to shrinkage, we first need to find the amount of shrinkage between the book value ($907,340) and the physical inventory ($875,435).  The difference between these two values is $31,905.  With this value of shrinkage, I then divide by the total amount in sales, which is $1,988,345.  This would give me an overall percentage of 1.6%, which represents the shrinkage as a percentage of sales.

Please show work 7r + 21 = 49r
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

1/2 = r

Step-by-step explanation:

7r + 21 = 49r

Subtract 7r from each side

7r-7r + 21 = 49r-7r

21 = 42r

Divide each side by 2

21/42 = 42r/42

1/2 = r

Find all the zeros of the function <br> g(x)=x^3-4x^2-x+22
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − x + 22

This is a cubic equation, so it must have either 1 or 3 real roots.

Using rational root theorem, we can check if any of those real roots are rational.  Possible rational roots are ±1, ±2, ±11, and ±22.

g(-1) = 18

g(1) = 18

g(-2) = 0

g(2) = 12

g(-11) = 1782

g(11) = 858

g(-22) = -12540

g(22) = 8712

We know -2 is a root.  The other two roots are irrational.  To find them, we must find the other factor of g(x).  We can do this using long division, or we can factor using grouping.

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − 12x + 11x + 22

g(x) = x (x² − 4x − 12) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = x (x − 6) (x + 2) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = (x (x − 6) + 11) (x + 2)

g(x) = (x² − 6x + 11) (x + 2)

x² − 6x + 11 = 0

Quadratic formula:

x = [ 6 ± √(36 − 4(1)(11)) ] / 2

x = (6 ± 2i√8) / 2

x = 3 ± i√8

The three roots are x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8.
