Answer:

a=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of P passes through the point (2,0), thus P(2)=0. This means that 2 is a root of this polynomial, and it has multiplicity 2. Therefore (x-2)² is a factor of P and it's the maximum power of (x-2) that divides P, then b=2.

The graph of P also passes through (5,0), so P(5)=0. Then 5 is another root of p, that is, (x-5) is a factor of P. From this, c=5.

At this point, we have that P(x)=a(x-2)²(x-5). Again, because the graph of the function P(x) passes through (0,60) we obtain that P(0)=60. Substituting in our previous equation, 60=P(0)=a(-2)²(-5)=-20a. Dividing both sides by -20, we conclude that a=-3.

PLEASE LOOK AT THE IMAGE. I’m despite. It’s probably easy.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Correct answer:  (x - 10)² + y² = 441 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(a, b) = (10, 0)  the coordinates of the center of the circle

(10, 21/2)  circle passing through this point

The standard form of the circle equation is:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²  where r is radius of the circle

We will replace the given coordinates of the center of the circle and the point it passes through to get the radius of the circle:

(10 - 10)² + (21/2)² = r²  ⇒ r² = (21/2)² = 441 / 4

r² = 441 / 4

(x - 10)² + y² = 441 / 4

A 90 oz. bottle of shampoo is sold for $18.95. What is the price per ounce
Veseljchak [2.6K]

This sets up as a very commonly  used proportion.

90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x             Cross multiply

90 x = 18.95                              Divide by 90

x = 18.95 / 90

x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the  smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.

Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
