In a school election, Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne, Neal recurved twenty less votes than Juan, and Kerry got hal

77julia77 [94]

Votes received by Wayne is 112

Solution:

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x ---- eqn 1

Neal received twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

Kerry got half as many votes as Neal

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = $\frac{4x - 20}{2}$ ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

$x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112$

Therefore votes received by Wayne is 112

Consider the cubic function f(x) = x^3 + ax^2 + bx + 4 where (a) and (b) are constants. When f(x) is divided by x-3, the remaind

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Remainder theorem

If f(x) is divided by (x - h) then f(h) = remainder, thus

f(3) = 3³ + a(3)² + b(3) + 4 = 10, that is

27 + 9a + 3b + 4 = 10

9a + 3b + 31 = 10 ( subtract 31 from both sides )

9a + 3b = - 21 → (1)

f(- 1) = (- 1)³ + a(- 1)² + b(- 1) + 4 = 6, that is

- 1 + a - b + 4 = 6

a - b + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

a - b = 3 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing a in terms of b

a = 3 + b → (3)

Substitute a = 3 + b into (1)

9(3 + b) + 3b = - 21 ← distribute and simplify left side

27 + 9b + 3b = - 21

12b + 27 = - 21 ( subtract 27 from both sides )

12b = - 48 ( divide both sides by 12 )

b = - 4

Substitute b = - 4 into (3)

a = 3 - 4 = - 1

Hence a = - 1 and b = - 4
