The polynomial 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 4x - 15 represents the volume in cubic feet of a rectangular holding tank at a fish hatchery. The d

epth of the tank is (x-1) feet. The length is 13 feet. Assume the length is the greatest dimension. Which linear factor represents the 13-ft length? What are the dimensions of the tank?

For part A: you will get 3 linear factors (as the degree of the polynomial is 3). perform the division using (x-1) as your known factor and you will get (x-1)(2x²+11x+15). you can then factor the (2x²+11x+15) to get 2x^3 + 9x^2 + 4x - 15 = (x-1)(2x+5)(x+3) 
for part B: since 2x+5 will provide the greatest value (assuming x>0) of the 3 factors, then 2x+5=13. solve to get x=4. if x is 4, then the dimensions are 3'x13'x7' [just sub 4 into the x's for each factor] 
for part C: as to the graphing calculator, I don't have one. However, if you solve each linear factor for when it is 0, those values will be the x-intercepts. So your graph should cross the x-asix at 1, -5/2, and -3

Sharon paid $78 sales tax on a new camera. If the sales tax is 6.5%, what was the cost of the camera?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

78 = 6.5%

This means that if you divide 78 by 6.5, you get the equivalent of 1% of the price:

78 ÷ 6.5 = 12

So 1% = 12

Now simply multiply this by 100 to get the full answer:

12 x 100 = 1200

So the camera cost $1200!

Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2pi)
irinina [24]

Answer:

{π/4, 5π/4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan theta -1=0 could be rewritten as tan Ф = 1.  The tangent function is 1 at Ф = π/4.  As the period of the tangent function is π,

tan Ф = 1 will be true for Ф = π/4 + π, or (5/4)π.

The solution set is {π/4, 5π/4}.

1) Solve for x.<br><br> x+23=−22<br><br><br><br> 2) Solve for a.<br><br> a+(−1.3)=−4.5
8090 [49]
X+23=-22
  -23   -23

x=-45

a+(-1.3)=-4.5
        
         or

a-1.3+-4.5
  +1.3  +1.3

a=3.2

What is the exact value of tan 30° ? Enter your answer, as a simplified fraction, in the box.
Romashka [77]
Hmmm if you don't have a Unit Circle, this is a good time to get one, many you can find online.  Anyhow, check your unit circle for cos(30°) and sin(30°).

\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}\qquad \qquad tan(30^o)=\cfrac{sin(30^o)}{cos(30^o)}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;tan(30^o)=\cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{2}\quad }{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\implies tan(30^o)=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\implies tan(30^o)=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{\textit{and now if we rationalize the denominator}}{\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{(\sqrt{3})^2}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}}
