Answer:

f(x) = 3x² - 15x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) has roots x = a and x = b, then

(x - a) and (x - b) are the factors

f(x) is then the product of the factors

f(x) = a(x - a)(x - b) ← where a is a multiplier

Given roots are x = 4 and x = 1, then

(x - 4) and (x - 1) are the factors

With a = 3, then

f(x) = 3(x - 4)(x - 1) ← expand factors using FOIL

     = 3(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute

     = 3x² - 15x + 12

Which value can be added to the set below without changing its mean?
shusha [124]

Answer:

15..

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 10, 14, 18, 22, 22

Mean = (4 + 10 + 14 + 18 + 22 + 22)/6

= 90/6

= 15.

Number to be added, 'y'

For the mean to be the same

(90 + y) / 7 = 15

90 + y = 15 × 7

90 + y = 105

y = 105 - 90

= 15

In this fulcrum, for the weights to be balance, what do the distances d1 and d2 have to be if the overall length is 12 feet?
mel-nik [20]
For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55

In the parking lot there are 1960 convertibles and 490 minivans, for a total of 2450 cars all together what is the ratio of cars
Sidana [21]

Answer: 5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of convertibles  = 1960

The number of minivans = 490

Total cars =  2450

The ratio of A to B can also be written as \dfrac{A}{B}.

The ratio of cars to convertibles = \dfrac{\text{Number of cars}}{\text{Number of convertibles}}

=\dfrac{2450}{1960}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{4}\ \ \ \text{[Simplest form]}

Hence, the  ratio of cars to convertibles = 5:4
