Answer:
2. $2.31
Step-by-step explanation:
25% off, 75% to be paid
75/100 × 31.5 = 23.625
20% off, 80% to be paid
80/100 × 26.75 = 21.4
18% off, 82% to be paid
82/100 × 26 = 21.32
Highest - Lowest
23.625 - 21.32
2.305
Well, solve for x.
Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation
The 4x's will cross out on the right
4x - 4x = 0x = 0
On the left:
2x - 4x = -2x
Now the equation looks like:
-2x + 3 = 2
Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
3 - 3 = 0
On the right:
2 - 3 = -1
Equation:
-2x = -1
Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation
On the left:
-2x ÷ -2 = 1
On the right:
-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2
x= 1/2
So, there is only one solution: 1/2
Answers
1) 1
2) 11
3) 4
4) D) Yes, the constant of variation is 3
Explanation
Q1
The slope of a line is given by
Slope = (change in y)/(change in x)
= (0 - -2)/(-4 - -6)
= 2/2
= 1
Q2
Slope = Δy/Δx
= (8 - -3)/(2 - 1)
= 11/1
= 11
Q3
Y varies directly as X. This is written as,
Y ∞ X
Put and equal sign then introduce the constant of proportionality, K.
Y = KX
K = Y/X
K = 6/18 = 1/3
∴ Y = (1/3)X
Y = (1/3) × 12
Y = 4
Q4
32Y = 96X
Dividing both sides by 32,
Y = 96/32 X
Y = 3X
3 been the constant, Y varies directly as X.
So, the equation 32y = 96x is a direct variation.
Constant of variation = 3
There are many polynomials that fit the bill,
f(x)=a(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)(x-r4) where a is any real number not equal to zero.
A simple one is when a=1.
where r1,r2,r3,r4 are the roots of the 4th degree polynomial.
Also note that for a polynomial with *real* coefficients, complex roots *always* come in conjugages, i.e. in the form a±bi [±=+/-]
So a polynomial would be:
f(x)=(x-(-4-5i))(x-(-4+5i))(x--2)(x--2)
or, simplifying
f(x)=(x+4+5i)(x+4-5i)(x+2)^2
=x^4+12x^3+77x^2+196x+164 [if you decide to expand]
