Looks like all you have to do it multiply the numbers together; there is no application of the Distributive Property to these problems.
Answer:
decrease by 2.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.
P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.
Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.
The number of situps form an AP with first term (a) = 17 and common difference (d) = 4
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
T12 = 17 + (12 - 1) x 4 = 17 + 11(4) = 17 + 44 = 61
Therefore, she will do 61 situps on day 12.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x−a)(x−b)=x2−(a+b)x+ab
Now, this with the third bracket.
(x2−(a+b)x+ab)(x−c)=x3−(a+b+c)x2+(ac+bc+ab)x−abc
But there’s another way to do this, which is easier. Assume the given expression is equal to 0, then, we can form a cubic equation as
x3−(sum−of−roots)x2+(product−of−roots−taken−two−at−a−time)x−(product−of−roots) , which is essentially what we got above.
