Find the equation of the vertical line through (7,-3)

Violet made cookies for the bake sale. 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 3/4 of the remaining cookies are sugar. What frac

FromTheMoon [43]

We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.

What are the roots of the polynomial equation x^3-5x+5=2x^2-5? Use a graphing calculator and a system of equations. Round nonint

leonid [27]

The right answer is c. –2.24, 2, 2.24

This question needs to be solved in two ways. First, using a graphing calculator. Next, using a system of equations.

1. Using a graphing calculator.

We have the following polynomial equation:

$x^3-5x+5=2x^2-5$

By ordering this equation we have:

$x^3-2x^2-5x+10=0$

So, we can say that this equation comes from a function given by:

$f(x)=x^3-2x^2-5x+10$

Thus, by plotting this function, we have that the graph of this function is indicated in Figure 1. By zooming, we can see, in Figure 2, that the roots of the polynomial equation are the x-intercepts of $f(x)$ which are:

$x_{1}=-2.236 \\ \\ x_{2}=2 \\ \\ x_{3}=2.236$

Finally, rounding noninteger roots to the nearest hundredth we have:

$\boxed{Root_{1}=-2.24} \\ \\ \boxed{Root_{2}=2} \\ \\ \boxed{Root_{3}=2.24}$

2. Using a system of equations.

The ordered equation is:

$x^3-2x^2-5x+10=0$

By arranging to factor out we have:

$x^3-5x-2x^2+10=0$

Then, by factoring:

$x(x^2-5)-2(x^2-5)=0$

Term $(x^2-5)$ is a common factor, thus:

$(x-2)(x^2-5)=0 \\ \\ (x-2)(x-\sqrt{5})(x+\sqrt{5})=0 \\ \\ Finally: \\ \\ \boxed{Root_{1}=-\sqrt{5}=-2.24} \\ \\ \boxed{Root_{2}=2} \\ \\ \boxed{Root_{3}=\sqrt{5}=2.24}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that it uses 120 feet of fencing material to enclose three sides of the play area. This means there are 3 sides. Putting this into equation, we have something like this.

120 = L + 2W

Where

LW = area.

Again, in order to maximize the area with the given fencing, from the equation written above, then Width, w must be = 30 feet and length, l must be = 60

On substituting, we have

A = LW = (120 - 2W) W

From the first equation, making L the subject of the formula, we have this

L = 120 - 2W, which then we substituted above.

On simplification, we have

L = 120W -2W²

Differentiating, we have

A' = 120 - 4W = 0

Remember that W = 30

So therefore, L = 120 - 2(30) = 60 feet

Joshua sells a pack of pens for $3.15, which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. Which equation will help find x, the amoun

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Joshua sells a pack of pens for 3.15 which is 5 percent more than he pays for them. which equation will help find x, the amount he pays for a pack of pens? how many solutions will this equation have? x+0.05x=3.15, which has infinitely many solutions x+0.5x=3.15, which has one solution x+0.05×=3.15 which has one solution 0.05×=3.15, which has no solution

Let

x= the amount Joshua pays for a pack of pen

5% of x more than he paid for them

=0.05x more

Buying price=0.05x + x

Selling price=3.15

Equate buying and selling price

0.05x + x = 3.15

1.05x=3.15

Divide both sides by 1.05

1.05x / 1.05 = 3.15/1.05

x=3

The equation is 0.05x+x=3.15

The answer is:

x+0.05x=3.15 which has one solution
