Answer:

c. x - 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is f(x) = 3x^4 - 5x^3 - 71 x^2 + 157x + 60

To test if the given equations are factors of the polynomial, check if the remainder is equal to zero if substituted into the equation.

For x - 3, x = 3

Substituting x = 3 into the given polynomial:

f(3) = 3(3)^4 - 5(3)^3 - 71 (3)^2 + 157(3) + 60\\f(3) = 0

x - 3 is a factor

For x - 4, x = 4

Substituting x = 4 into the given polynomial:

f(4) = 3(4)^4 - 5(4)^3 - 71 (4)^2 + 157(4) + 60\\f(4) = 0

x - 4 is a factor

For x - 2/3, x = 2/3

Substituting x = 2/3 into the given polynomial:

f(2/3) = 3(2/3)^4 - 5(2/3)^3 - 71 (2/3)^2 + 157(2/3) + 60\\f(2/3) = 132.22

x - 2/3 is  not a factor

For x + 1/3, x = -1/3

Substituting x = -1/3 into the given polynomial:

f(-1/3) = 3(-1/3)^4 - 5(-1/3)^3 - 71 (-1/3)^2 + 157(-1/3) + 60\\f(-1/3) = 0

x + 1/3 is  a factor

Find the value of x in this equation. 25(4x − 3) − 2x = 45 − x
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

x=40/33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

25(4x−3)−2x=45−x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

25(4x−3)−2x=45−x

(25)(4x)+(25)(−3)+−2x=45+−x(Distribute)

100x+−75+−2x=45+−x

(100x+−2x)+(−75)=−x+45(Combine Like Terms)

98x+−75=−x+45

98x−75=−x+45

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

98x−75+x=−x+45+x

99x−75=45

Step 3: Add 75 to both sides.

99x−75+75=45+75

99x=120

Step 4: Divide both sides by 99.

99x

99

=

120

3/8 x 5 as a mixed number​
leva [86]

Answer:

1 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 * 5/1 = 15/8

<-- First multiply 3/8 by 5

----------------------------------------------

15/8 = 1 with a remainder of 7

<-- Then convert 15/8 to a mixed number by dividing 15 by 8

15/8 = 1 7/8
