Well 6 is tripled so write a expression/phrase.
3(x + 6)
The result is one less than twice the number.
2x - 1
Put it all together to make an equation and solve.
3(x + 6) = 2x - 1
3x + 18 = 2x - 1
3x - 2x = -1 - 18
x = -19
Check to make sure it works.
3(-19 + 6) = 2(-19) - 1
3(-13) = -38 - 1
-39 = -39 < The equality confirms our solution of x = -19
Hope this helps!

Find all of the zeros of the function and write the polynomial as the product of linear factors.
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

(x+6i)(x-6i)(x+1)

So the zeroes are 6i, -6i, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor by grouping

h(x) = x^2(x+1) + 36(x+1)

h(x) = (x^2+36)(x+1)

Anthony borrowed $18,800 at 6% simple interest for 4 months. Determine the amount of interest.
anygoal [31]
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 6%/100 = 0.06 per year,
putting time into years for simplicity,
4 months ÷ 12 months/year = 0.333333 years,
then, solving our equation

I = $ 376.00

I = 18800 × 0.06 × 0.333333 = 375.999624
I = $ 376.00

The simple interest accumulated
on a principal of $ 18,800.00
at a rate of 6% per year
for 0.333333 years (4 months) is $ 376.00.

Which student correctly translated the phrase “twice the sum of a number cubed and nine” and evaluated it for r = 3?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: Jessica is correct

==================================================

Explanation:

  • Antonio is not correct because 3 cubed is not 9. Instead, it's 3^3 = 27. Note that 3^3 = 3*3*3 = 27. Another example would be 4^3 = 4*4*4 = 64. The good news is that he has the correct starting expression because the r^3+9 portion is the sum of r cubed and 9, then we double it.
  • Jessica is correct. She has the correct starting expression and has evaluated 3^3 correctly. Also, the final answer 72 is correct as well.
  • Maria doesn't have the correct starting expression.
  • The same goes for Mark. His starting expression isn't correct.

27p³-1/216-9/2p²+1/4p
xeze [42]

Answer: (3p - 1/6)^3

step-by-step explanation:

27p^3 - 1/216 - 9/2p^2 + 1/4p

= (3p)^3 - (1/6)^3 - 9/2p^2 + 1/4p

= (3p - 1/6)[(3p)^2 + p/2 + 1/36)] - (3p/2)(3p - 1/6)

= (3p - 1/6)(9p^2 + p/2 + 1/36 - 3p/2)

= (3p - 1/6)(9p^2 - 2p/2 + 1/36)

= (3p - 1/6)(9p^2 - p + 1/36)

= (3p - 1/6)(3p - 1/6)(3p - 1/6)

= (3p - 1/6)^3
