First add all the items together:

6 + 4 + 7 + 4 = 21

then we compare 6 and 21 and look for common factors, 6 and 21 have the common factor 3 so we divide them both by 3 to get 2 and 7. since 2 and 7 have no common factors our answer is

2:7

This means for every 2 cans of fruit there are 7 total items and vice versa.

Answer:

<em>4a ) Difference ⇒ $ 63.24,</em>

<em>4b ) 4 children</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

4a ) If the number of children is represented by the value of x, let us substitute a family of 2 children as value of x into this equation we are given;

y = 21.08 * ( 2 ) + 85.15 ⇒ Multiply 21.08 by 2,

y = 42.16 + 85.15 ⇒ Combine like terms,

y = 127.31

If y ⇒ amount spent on grocery's, let us solve for the amount spent on 5 children, and subtract from this amount;

y = 21.08 * ( 5 ) + 85.15 ⇒ Multiply 21.08 by 5,

y = 105.4 + 85.15 ⇒ Combine like terms,

y = 190.55

Difference; 190.55 - 127.31 = 63.24,

<em>Solution; Difference ⇒ $ 63.24</em>

4b ) If the amount is $ 169.47, let us plug it into our given equation provided amount spent on groceries ⇒ y;

169.47 = 21.08x + 85.15 ⇒ Subtract 85.15 from either side of equation,

21.08x = 84.32 ⇒ Divide either side 21.08,

x = 4 children

<em>Solution; 4 children</em>

Andrei [34K]

Answer: none of them is right, did you meant maximum 4 and minimum 2?

Step-by-step explanation: cos x gets values between 1 and -1.

If you add 3 you get values between 4 and 2.

5x3 + 14x2 + 9x <br> help

<h3>Answer: x(x+1)(5x+9) </h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

5x^3 + 14x^2 + 9x

x( 5x^2 + 14x + 9 )

To factor 5x^2 + 14x + 9, we could use the AC method and guess and check our way to getting the correct result.

A better way in my opinion is to solve 5x^2 + 14x + 9 = 0 through the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(14)\pm\sqrt{(14)^2-4(5)(9)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{-14\pm\sqrt{16}}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-14\pm4}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-14+4}{10} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-14-4}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-10}{10} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-18}{10}\\\\x = -1 \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-9}{5}\\\\$

Then use those two solutions to find the factorization

x = -1 or x = -9/5

x+1 = 0 or 5x = -9

x+1 = 0 or 5x+9 = 0

(x+1)(5x+9) = 0

So we have shown that 5x^2 + 14x + 9 factors to (x+1)(5x+9)

-----------

Overall,

5x^3 + 14x^2 + 9x

factors to

x(x+1)(5x+9)

The tenths place, starting from the right, it gets higher going to the left. so the tenths place is only ten times greater than it.
