Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. "The quotient of a number and 4" is represented by (n/4). To represent decreasing that value by 10, we write ...

(n/4) -10

We are told this "is two":

(n/4) -10 = 2

n/4 = 12 . . . . . . . add 10

n = 48 . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 48.

Which of these polynomial equations is of least degree and has -1, 2, and 4 as three of its roots?

kvasek [131]

Answer:

x^3 - 5 x^2 + 2 x + 8 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

x^3 - 5 x^2 + 2 x + 8 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

(x - 4) (x - 2) (x + 1) = 0

Split into three equations:

x - 4 = 0 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 or x - 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 4 or x = 2 or x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

Answer: x = 4 or x = 2 or x = -1

The table shows the number of

According to the table given, the rate of change is of 9.

The rate of change is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the input.

In this problem:

The input is the number of bouquets.

The output is the number of flowers.

Taking two of the points, (3,27) and (5,45), we have that:

$m = \frac{45 - 27}{5 - 3} = \frac{18}{2} = 9$

Hence, the rate of change is of 9, which would be verified taking any pair of two points.
