4 0

Question 1:

Connor : Patrick = 8 : 9
Total Parts = 8 + 9 = 17
17 parts = 153 kg

Find 1 parts:
1 part = 153 ÷ 17 = 9kg

Find 8 parts:
8 parts = 8 x 9 = 72kg

Find 9 parts:
9 parts = 9 x 9 = 81 kg

Connor : Patrick = 8 : 9 = 72kg : 81 kg

81 - 72 = 9kg

Answer: Partick is 9 kg heavier than Connor.

Question 2:

Tim and Savannah = 1 : 2
2 parts = 50 sweets

Find 1 part :
1 part = 50 ÷ 2 = 25

Answer: Tim gets 25 sweets

Question 3:

Holly : Wei Kong : Wilfred
6 : 3 : 1

Total Parts = 6 + 3 + 1 = 10
10 parts = ⇒£850

Find 1 part :
1 part = £850 ÷ 10 = £85

Find 6 parts :
6 parts = £85 x 6 = £510

Answer: Hollie receives £510

How to find the multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial function?

Monica [59]

The multiplicity of a zero of a polynomial function is how many times a particular number is a zero for a given polynomial.

For example, in the polynomial function $f(x)=x(x+4)^2(x-2)^3$ , the zeros are 0 with a multiplicity of 1, -4 with a multiplicity of 2, and 2 with a multiplicity of 3.

Although this polynomial has only three zeros, we say that it has six zeros (or degree of 6) counting the multiplicities.

Arlo invested $4000 in an account that earns 5.5% interest, compounded annually. The formula for compound interest is A(t)=P(1+i

USPshnik [31]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$4000\\ r=rate\to 5.5\%\to \frac{5.5}{100}\dotfill &0.055\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=4000\left(1+\frac{0.055}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 4}\implies A=4000(1.055)^4\implies A\approx 4955.2986$
