Answer:

Any number less than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number Lin multiplies by 7/8. So, we have:

(7/8)*x < 7/8

We need to find the possible values for x. Lets start by dividing both sides of our inequality by (7/8) in order to get x alone on the left side.

(7/8)*x / (7/8) < (7/8)/(7/8)

Reordering:

(7/8) / (7/8) * x < (7/8)/(7/8)

As any number divided by itself (except from 0) is equal to 1:

x < 1

So, the number that Lin multiplied by 7/8 MUST be less than 1. This is evident, as any positive number multiplied by a number less than 1 will decrease, doesn't matter if its a negative or positive number.

So, such number is less than 1. Any number less than 1 could be Lin's number.

Chef Rita Is cooking for a Sunday brunch.She knows that 22 pancakes can feed 8 people.She is wondering how many people she can f
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Chef Rita can feed 20 people with 55 pancakes.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using equivalent ratios.  Since we know that Chef Rita can feed 8 people with 22 pancakes, we can set up the ratio:

\frac{22pancakes}{8people}=\frac{22}{8}

To solve how many people she would be able to feed with 55 pancakes, we can set ratios equal to each other and solve for 'x' which is the number of people.  

\frac{22}{8}=\frac{55}{x}

We can see what factor we multiply 22 by to get 55 and then we multiply the denominator by the same factor to get our equivalent ratio.  55 ÷ 22 = 2.5.  So, 8 x 2.5 = 20 people.

Find a factorization of x² + 2x³ + 7x² - 6x + 44, given that<br> −2+i√√7 and 1 - i√/3 are roots.
Levart [38]

A factorization of x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 is (x^2+4x+11)(x^2-2x+4).

<h3>What are the properties of roots of a polynomial?</h3>
  • The maximum number of roots of a polynomial of degree n is n.
  • For a polynomial with real coefficients, the roots can be real or complex.
  • The complex roots of a polynomial with real coefficients always exist in a pair of conjugate numbers i.e., if a+ib is a root, then a-ib is also a root.

If the roots of the polynomial p(x)=ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e are r_1,r_2,r_3,r_4, then it can be factorized as p(x)=(x-r_1)(x-r_2)(x-r_3)(x-r_4).

Here, we are to find a factorization of p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44. Also, given that -2+i\sqrt{7} and 1-i\sqrt{3} are roots of the polynomial.

Since p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 is a polynomial with real coefficients, so each complex root exists in a pair of conjugates.

Hence, -2-i\sqrt{7} and 1+i\sqrt{3} are also roots of the given polynomial.

Thus, all the four roots of the polynomial p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44, are: r_1=-2+i\sqrt{7}, r_2=-2-i\sqrt{7}, r_3=1-i\sqrt{3}, r_4=1+i\sqrt{3}.

So, the polynomial p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 can be factorized as follows:

\{x-(-2+i\sqrt{7})\}\{x-(-2-i\sqrt{7})\}\{x-(1-i\sqrt{3})\}\{x-(1+i\sqrt{3})\}\\=(x+2-i\sqrt{7})(x+2+i\sqrt{7})(x-1+i\sqrt{3})(x-1-i\sqrt{3})\\=\{(x+2)^2+7\}\{(x-1)^2+3\}\hspace{1cm} [\because (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2]\\=(x^2+4x+4+7)(x^2-2x+1+3)\\=(x^2+4x+11)(x^2-2x+4)

Therefore, a factorization of x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 is (x^2+4x+11)(x^2-2x+4).
