This is how you solve it; but first of all convert the percent into a decimal;55%= 0.55

0.55x = 164 (divide by 0.55 on both sides)
x = 164/0.55
x = 298.18 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
so 164 is 55% of 298.18(rounded)

Is x - 8 a factor of the function f(x) = -2x3 + 17x2 - 64? Explain.

Oduvanchick [21]

we know that

If $(x-8)$ is a factor of the function $f(x)=-2x^{3}+17x^{2}-64$

then

$x=8$ is a root of the function f(x)

therefore

For $x=8$ the value of the function must be zero

Verify

Substitute the value of $x=8$ in the function

$f(8)=-2(8)^{3}+17(8)^{2}-64$

$f(8)=-2(512)+17(64)-64$

$f(8)=-1,024+1,088-64$

$f(8)=-1,088+1,088$

$f(8)=0$

therefore

the answer is

Yes, $(x-8)$ is a factor of the function f(x)

Find 10-3. Write the subtraction fact two ways. I know what 10-3 is but how do you write the subtraction fact two ways?

Neko [114]

You could also say something such as 10 + (-3) or |-10+3|.
