Carlita was either sipping the hot chocolate while she was out, or else
approximating the numbers.  The exact number she reported is not
possible.  To see why, I'll do it strictly by the math:

Robins  =  5 times
Cardinals  =  1 time

Total birds  =  6 times 

6 times  =  25 birds

Divide each side by 6 :   1 time  =  25/6  =  4-1/6 birds

Robins =  5 times  =  20-5/6 of them
Cardinals  =  1 time  =  4-1/6 of them

Total:  (20-5/6) + (4-1/6)  =  25 birds.

How many more robins than cardinals  = (20-5/6) - (4-1/6) = 16-2/3 more. 

The math works out fine.  But if the numbers she reported are true,
then some of what she saw was partial birds ... legs, or feathers,
things like that.  Eeeew.   I don't want to talk about it.

20 because 5x5=25 so she saw 5 x as many if you divide 5 and 25 you get five

Answer:

50-2.5t=w. no, the water will all have drained by then.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 per min so

min=t

therefore 2.5t

theres 50 quarts of water

50-2.5t = w (water left in the tank)

_____________________________________-

part 2,

2.5*30 = 75, and 50<75

this is impossible.

How to form a polynomial with given zeros and degree and multiplicity calculator
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Taking P(x) = x³-12x-16 as an example

Step-by-step explanation:

For a polynomial, if

x = a is a zero of the function, then (x − a) is a factor of the function.

We have two unique zeros:

−2 and 4. However, −2 has a multiplicity of 2, which means that the factor that correlates to a zero of −2 is represented in the polynomial twice.

Following how it's constructed

zero at -2, multiplicity 2

zero at 4, multiplicity 1

p(x)=x−(−2))²(x−4)¹

Thus,p(x)=(x+2)²(x−4)

Expand: p(x)=(x²+4x+4)(x−4)

p(x) =x³−12x−16
