Let x be how many hot dogs person b ate

therefore, person a ate x+8 hotdogs
and person c ate x-10 hotdogs

they all ate 130 hotdogs in total so
x + x + 8 + x - 10 = 130
3x -2 = 130
3x = 132
x = 44

so person b ate 44 hotdogs
person a ate 8 more so 52 hotdogs
and person c ate 10 less than person b so 34 hotdogs

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

2.62

Step-by-step explanation:

log_{b} \frac{b^{2}x^{\frac{5}{2} }}{\sqrt{y}}

First, write the square root as exponent.

log_{b} \frac{b^{2}x^{\frac{5}{2} }}{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Move the denominator to the numerator and negate the exponent.

log_{b}(b^{2}x^{\frac{5}{2}}y^{-\frac{1}{2}})

Use log product property.

log_{b}(b^{2}) + log_{b}(x^{\frac{5}{2}}) + log_{b}(y^{-\frac{1}{2}})

Use log exponent property.

2 log_{b}(b) + {\frac{5}{2}}log_{b}(x) - {\frac{1}{2}}log_{b}(y)

Substitute values.

2(1) + \frac{5}{2}(0.36) - \frac{1}{2}(0.56) \\2.62

Analyze the polynomial function ​f(x)equalsnegative 4 (x plus 3 )(x minus 4 )cubed using parts​ (a) through​ (e).a) Determine th
Ksju [112]

Answer:

a) f(x) tends to minus infinity

b) (0,768) is the y-intercept, (4,0) and (-3,0) are the x-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our function is f(x)=-4(x+3)(x-4)^3 a polynomial of degree 4.

a) The monomial with highest degree determines the behavior of f(x) when x tends to infinity and when x tends to -infinity. This monomial is -4x⁴. Without expanding completely, (x-4)³ has x³ as a summand, which multiplies with -4x from the first factor, to give -4x⁴. When x goes to infinity (or minus infinitive), x²=(x²)² is positive (nonzero squares are always positive) thus -4x² is negative, and f(x) tends to minus infinity.

b). To find the y-intercept, we compute (0,f(0)). Since f(0)=-4(3)(-4)³=768, then (0,768) is the point of the y-intercept.

For the x-intercept, solve f(x)=0. f(x)=0 has the solutions x=-3 and x=4. In this case, the x-intercept is in both x=0 and x=4. Then (-3,0) and (4,0) are x-intercepts.
