Answer:

About $1.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel bought 9 pounds, and he ate 1/3 of a pound, or 0.75. So you should do 9- 1/3 or 9- 0.75, which equals to 8.25.

Since it worths $15 after he ate the apples, you shouldmake out an equation of 8.25x=15 in order to get the amount of money per each pound.

Manuel bought pounds of apples and eat 3/4 of 1 pound
That is 0.75 pounds
Thus 9-0.75=8.25 pounds of apples left with him.
It is given that the cost of 25 pounds of Apple is dollar.
Let the cost of 1 pound of Apple be x.

8.25 multiply X=15

8.25x. 10
————. = ——
8.25. 8.25

X=10
——
8.25

X=1.818181

X=2

Then the cost of Apple is above two dollars per pound

Factor the polynomial, x2 + 5x + 6
patriot [66]

Answer:

Choice b.

x^{2} + 5\, x + 6 = (x + 3)\, (x + 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest power of the variable x in this polynomial is 2. In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.

It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to 0.)

After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.

Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to 0. The discriminant of this polynomial is (5^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6) = 1.

\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{-5 + \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 + 1}{2} \\ &= -2\end{aligned}.

Similarly:

\begin{aligned}x_{2} &= \frac{-5 - \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 - 1}{2} \\ &= -3\end{aligned}.

By the Factor Theorem, if x = x_{0} is a root of a polynomial, then (x - x_0) would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between x and x_{0}.

  • The root x = -2 corresponds to the factor (x - (-2)), which simplifies to (x + 2).
  • The root x = -3 corresponds to the factor (x - (-3)), which simplifies to (x + 3).

Verify that (x + 2)\, (x + 3) indeed expands to the original polynomial:

\begin{aligned}& (x + 2)\, (x + 3) \\ =\; & x^{2} + 2\, x + 3\, x + 6 \\ =\; & x^{2} + 5\, x + 6\end{aligned}.

Peter leaves his house and walks 15 meters south, then turns east and walks another 15 meters. How far is he from his house? Rou
Varvara68 [4.7K]
When Peter does this, he is creating two sides of a right-angle triangle. The distance from his house to that point will be the hypotenuse of the triangle thus, to work out the length of the hypotenuse, we have to use Pythagoras Theorem! So:

a² + b² = c²
15² + 15² = c²
225 + 225 = c²
450 = c²
15√2 = c
21.21320344 = c

So, this rounded to the nearest tenth would be:

21.2 meters !
