Answer:

85 + 86 = 171

Step-by-step explanation:

Just divide 171 by 2 = 85.5, so it pretty clear the rest is just logic.

(85.5 - 0.5) + (85.5 + 0.5) = 171

There are 16 entrees available at a restaurant. From these, Archie is to choose 6 for his party. How many groups of 6 entrees ca
goblinko [34]

Answer: 8008

Step-by-step explanation:

Total entrees = 16

Number of entrees to choose = 6

Since order does not matter , so we combinations .

Number of combinations to choose r things out of n = C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Then, total ways to choose 6 entrees = C(16,6)=\dfrac{16!}{6!10!}

=\dfrac{16\times15\times14\times13\times12\times11\times10!}{(720)10!}\\\\= 8008

Hence, the required number of ways= 8008

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x^3-2x^2-5x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Polynomials </u>

a)

The polynomial whose graph is shown is of third degree because it has three real roots. The roots of a polynomial are the values of x that make the expression equal to zero. We can see it happens three times in the graph provided. The roots or zeros are  

x=-2, x=1, x=3

b)

The factored form of a polynomial whose roots x_1, x_2, x_3 are known is

a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)(x-x_3)

We know the value of the roots, thus the polynomial is written as

a(x+2)(x-1)(x-3)

We need to find the value of a. We do that by replacing the value of x=0 and finding a that makes f(0)=3 (as seen in the graph). Thus

a(0+2)(0-1)(0-3)=3

a(2)(-1)(-3)=3

a(6)=3

\displaystyle a=\frac{3}{6}

\displaystyle a=\frac{1}{2}

Thus the factored form of the polynomial is

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x+2)(x-1)(x-3)

c)

Let's multiply all the factors

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x+2)(x-1)(x-3)

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x^2+2x-x-2)(x-3)

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x^2+x-2)(x-3)

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x^3-3x^2+x^2-3x-2x+6)

\boxed{ \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(x^3-2x^2-5x+6)}
