Let x be a number of skateboards and y be the number of bicycles in Eddie's repair shop.

Eddie asks the girls to order 54 new wheels for 21 skateboards and bicycles, then

x+y=21.

One scateboard has 4 wheels, then x scateboards have 4x wheels, one bicycle has 2 wheels, then y bicycles have 2y wheels. In total there should be ordered 54 wheels, so

4x+2y=54.

Solve the system of equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=21\\4x+2y=54.\end{array}\right.

From the first equation x=21-y. Substitute it into the second equation:

4(21-y)+2y=54,\\ \\84-4y+2y=54,\\ \\-2y=54-84,\\ \\-2y=-30,\\ \\2y=30,\\ \\y=15.

Then

x=21-15=6.

Answer: 6 scateboards and 15 bicycles.

What is the sum of the roots of the polynomial shown below?<br> f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - 11x-12
svp [43]

<u>Answer:  </u>

Sum of the roots of the polynomial x^{3}+2 x^{2}-11 x-12 \text { is }-2

<u>Solution:</u>

The general form of cubic polynomial is a x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x+d=0 ---- (1)

If we have any cubic polynomial a x^{3}+b x^{2}+c x+d=0 having roots \alpha , \beta , \theta

Sum of roots \alpha + \beta + \theta = \frac{-b}{a} ---(2)

From question given that,

x^{3}+2 x^{2}-11 x-12 --- (3)

On comparing equation (1) and (3), we get a = 1, b = 2, c = -11 and d = -12

Hence the sum of roots using eqn 2 is given as,

= \frac{-2}{1}

= -2

Hence the sum of the roots of the polynomial x^{3}+2 x^{2}-11 x-12 \text { is }-2

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

In a 30 60 90 triangle, the longer leg = shorter leg * square root (3)

longer leg = 8 * square root (3) = 8 * 1.7320508076

= 13.8564064606
