Answer: (x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that zeroes can be transformed into factors by subtracting them from x. This gives us the following factors:

(x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 4)

Now, if you multiply the first two factors together, you get the following:

(x² + 2x - 3)

Multiply that by the last factor, (x - 4), and you get this:

(x³ + 2x² - 3x - 4x² - 8x + 12)

This can be simplified:

(x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)

And there's your final answer. Hope this helped! (x³ - 2x² - 11x + 12)

Evaluate the line integral, where c is the given curve. (x + 9y) dx + x2 dy, c c consists of line segments from (0, 0) to (9, 1)

viktelen [127]

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+9y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=\int_C\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\underbrace{\langle\mathrm dx,\mathrm dy\rangle}_{\mathrm d\mathbf r}$

The first line segment can be parameterized by $\mathbf r_1(t)=\langle0,0\rangle(1-t)+\langle9,1\rangle t=\langle9t,t\rangle$ with $0\le t\le1$ . Denote this first segment by $C_1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{C_1}\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\mathbf dr_1=\int_{t=0}^{t=1}\langle9t+9t,81t^2\rangle\cdot\langle9,1\rangle\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(162t+81t^2)\,\mathrm dt$
$=108$

The second line segment ( $C_2$ ) can be described by $\mathbf r_2(t)=\langle9,1\rangle(1-t)+\langle10,0\rangle t=\langle9+t,1-t\rangle$ , again with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{C_2}\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r_2=\int_{t=0}^{t=1}\langle9+t+9-9t,(9+t)^2\rangle\cdot\langle1,-1\rangle\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(18-8t-(9+t)^2)\,\mathrm dt$
$=-\dfrac{229}3$

Finally,

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+9y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=108-\dfrac{229}3=\dfrac{95}3$

A book is on sale for $6 off of the regular $24 price. What percent is the discount?

Vika [28.1K]

6/24* 100= 25%. You multiply top ( 6 and 100) and divide to bottom (600 and 24) to get 25%.

Which is bigger? 30% or 1/3?

aalyn [17]

Convert them to comparable thingummys

convert to fraction

percent means parts out of 100
30%=30/100=3/10

3/10 vvs 1/3
make bottom number 30

3/10 times 3/3=9/30

1/3 times 10/10=10/30
10/30>9/30

1/3 is bigger
