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

The difference of a number x and 4 is 3
Kruka [31]
"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3

Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:

"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4

x - 3 = 4 is your answer.

To solve for x:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.

x - 3 = 4

x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)

x = 4 - 3

x = 1

1 is your answer for x.

Given parameters:

Cost price of the article = Nu.28.30

Selling price of the article  = Nu.29.30

Unknown:

Gain percentage = ?

The gain percentage is the same as the percentage profit on a trade.

The formula is given as:

       Gain percentage  = \frac{Profit}{Cost price}  x 100

         Profit = Selling price  - Cost price

                   = Nu.29.30 - Nu.28.30  

                   = Nu. 1

Now input the parameters and solve;

            Gain percentage  = \frac{1}{28.3} x 100

                                          = 3.5%

The gain percent is  3.5%
