Answer:

= 18 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of red marbles that must be added

Therefore;

New number or red marbles = x+12

Total marbles will be x+32

Thus;

The probability of selecting a red marble = (x+12)/(x+32)

Therefore;

(x+12)/(x+32)=3/5

5(x+12)=3(x+32)

5x+60+3x+96

2x=36

x=18

Each of the students im Romi's class raised at least $25 during the jump-a-thon. What is the least amount of money the class rai

EastWind [94]

If each of the 28 students made at least $25, you would multiply 28 and 25 together to obtain the least amount of money the class raised. That gets, 28x25 = 700. The class made at least $700.

Directed line segment has endpoints P(– 8, – 4) and Q(4, 12). Determine the point that partitions the directed line segment in a

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Point (1,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use segment formula to find the coordinates of point that will partition our line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.

When a point divides any segment internally in the ratio m:n, the formula is:

$[x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}]$

Let us substitute coordinates of point P and Q as:

$x_1=-8$ ,

$y_1=-4$

$x_2=4$

$y_2=12$

$m=3$

$n=1$

$[x=\frac{(3*4)+(1*-8)}{3+1},y=\frac{(3*12)+(1*-4)}{3+1}]$

$[x=\frac{12-8}{4},y=\frac{36-4}{4}]$

$[x=\frac{4}{4},y=\frac{32}{4}]$

$[x=1,y=8]$

Therefore, point (1,8) will partition the directed line segment PQ in a ratio 3:1.

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree in standard form with real coefficients whose zeros and their multiplicities inclu

Softa [21]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The polynomial function is,</em>

$y=x^4-10x^3+38x^2-64x+40$

<u>Solution-</u>

The zeros of the polynomial are 2 and (3+i). Root 2 has multiplicity of 2 and (3+i) has multiplicity of 1

The general form of the equation will be,

$\Rightarrow y=(x-(2))^2(x-(3+i))(x-(3-i))$ ( ∵ (3-i) is the conjugate of (3+i) )

$\Rightarrow y=(x-2)^2(x-3-i)(x-3+i)$

$\Rightarrow y=(x^2-4x+4)((x-3)-i)((x-3)+i)$

$\Rightarrow y=(x^2-4x+4)((x-3)^2-i^2)$

$\Rightarrow y=(x^2-4x+4)((x^2-6x+9)+1)$

$\Rightarrow y=(x^2-4x+4)(x^2-6x+10)$

$\Rightarrow y=x^2x^2-6x^2x+10x^2-4x^2x+4\cdot \:6xx-4\cdot \:10x+4x^2-4\cdot \:6x+4\cdot \:10$

$\Rightarrow y=x^4-10x^3+14x^2+24x^2-40x-24x+40$

$\Rightarrow y=x^4-10x^3+38x^2-64x+40$

Therefore, this is the required polynomial function.
