Answer:

\frac{145}{24}\approx 6***

Answers may vary depending on the person reading the graph.

It is hard to tell what they think crosses nicely.

For example, I decided that the graph crossed nicely at the following points:

(0,3)

(2,8)

(6,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

I see that the graph crosses at (0,3),(2,8), and (6,5).

The equation y=ax^2+bx+c tells us the y-intercept is c since when x=0 we have y=a(0)^2+b(0)+c=0+0+c=c.

The y-intercept for our graph is 3. Therefore, c=3.

So far we have the equation:

y=ax^2+bx+3.

Let's enter the other points creating a system of linear equations to solve:

8=a(2)^2+b(2)+3

5=a(6)^2+b(6)+3

Let's simplify:

8=4a+2b+3

5=36a+6b+3

Let's subtract 3 on both sides:

5=4a+2b

2=36a+6b

I choose to solve the system by elimination.

Let's multiply the top equation by -3:

-15=-12a-6b

2=36a+6b

Now adding the equations results in:

-13=24a

Divide both sides by 24:

\frac{-13}{24}=a

Now using one of the equations we can find b:

5=4a+2b with a=\frac{-13}{24}

5=4\frac{-13}{24}+2b

5=\frac{-13}{6}+2b

Add 13/6 on both sides:

5+\frac{13}{6}=2b

\frac{30+13}{6}=2b

\frac{43}{6}=2b

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{43}{2(6)}=b

\frac{43}{12}=b

So we have the equation:

y=\frac{-13}{24}x^2+\frac{43}{12}+3

Let's evaluate a+b+c now:

\frac{-13}{24}+\frac{43}{12}+3

\frac{-13+86+72}{24}

\frac{73+72}{24}

\frac{145}{24}

Rock is preferred by 52% of the 150 visitors that were surveyed

To find how many people will likely sell from the rock genre, you need to find 52% of the estimated sales (6,000 copies).

      52% • 6000 = 3,120

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z
viktelen [127]

Answer:

x=6 the angle =88

z=92

Step-by-step explanation:

find x

92+11x+22=180

114+11x=180

11x=180-114

x=66/11

x=6 the angle is 11(6)+22=66+22=88

find z=

z+88=180

z=180-88=92

Answer:

Angle ADC = 80 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the measure of angle ADC

mathematically, sum of angles at a point is 360

Thus;

x + 3x + x + 10 = 360

5x + 10 = 360

5x = 360-10

5x = 350

x = 350/5

x = 70

From the diagram;

angle ADC is (x + 10)

so we have; (70 + 10) = 80 degrees
