Answer:
48 Siamese cats were surveyed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the total number of surveyed Siamese cats.
Since 5/8 of the Siamese cat said that they didn't mind having a lap up water from a bowl , hence:
Number of cats who lapped = (5/8)x
Also, 3/16 admitted they would have preferred to use a straw:
Number of cats who used straw = (3/16)x
Taking into consideration that 39 of the Siamese cats gave one of those two answers:
(5/8)x + (3/16)x = 39
(13 / 16)x = 39
x = 39 * 16 / 13
x = 48
48 Siamese cats were surveyed
Answer:
2(x - 3)(3x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
6x² - 14x - 12 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(3x² - 7x - 6) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 3 × - 6 = - 18 and sum = - 7
The factors are - 9 and + 2
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² - 9x + 2x - 6 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) ← factor out (x - 3) from each term
= (x - 3)(3x + 2)
Thus
3x² - 7x - 6 = (x - 3)(3x + 2) and
6x² - 14x - 12 = 2(x - 3)(3x + 2) ← in factored form
Step-by-step explanation:
if f(1)=-4, then adding 5 would give you 1, again would give you 6, again would give 11. Therefore, your first four terms are -4,1,6,11.
