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

11. GARDEN Emily calculates that the area of a flower garden is 28.125. She measured
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

A=28.13 Sq Ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of the garden = 4.5 ft

Breadth of the garden = 6.25 ft

Area is given by the formula

A=length x breadth

A=4.5 x 6.25 sq ft

A= 28.125 sq ft

Here if we round the area to the nearest hundredth, the area will be

A=28.13 Sq Ft

Gerald buys a bag of 7,500 assorted beads online. A random sample of 150 beads contains 17 red beads. Predict the number of red
Vanyuwa [196]
850. If there is 17 red beads for every 150 beads Then you would divide 7500 by 150 and you get 50. Then multiply 50 with 17 and your answer is 850 red beads. 7500/150=50. 50 x 17= 850.

The surface area of a typical classroom floor is closest to______.
avanturin [10]
Answer would be C. Why A would be incorrect: 100m^2 is 100m × 100 m. That would be as big as a football field. Why B would be incorrect: 1cm^2 is 1cm × 1cm. You can use a regular 15 cm to measure a piece of paper with the length of 1cm each side. Why C would be correct: 1m^2 = 1m × 1m and it is also equals to 60cm × 60 cm. A 1 meter ruler = 60 cm = 4 times of your average 15 cm ruler. So, it is reasonable that a classroom is 10m by 10m in length and breadth. Why D would be incorrect: The same explanation applies to here as well. Things that can be measured with 1m × 1m is a square table so your classroom can't be that small to fit an average of 30 to 40 students in there. I hope my explanations were detailed and easy to understand. :)
