Answer:

<h2>36 bottles for $4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, we divide both numbers, for example 24 dollars, and 3.

Put it into a Fraction: 24/3.

Divide: 24 / 3 = 8.

We do the same thing for the next equation.

Put it into a Fraction: 36/4.

Divide: 36/4 = 9.

We can compare or subtract.

The number has to be bigger to make it the better buy.

Since 8 is smaller than 9, it's true.

So: 8 < 9. That's good.

We can subtract. It cannot be lower than positive 1.

9 - 8 = 1.

It's correct.

Therefore, the answer is 9 bottles per every dollar.

Best of Luck to you.

P( x) =x^3-6x^2-5x-14 What is the remainder R when the polynomial p(x) is divided by (x-7)

Igoryamba

Answer:

The remainder is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the remainder we will use the long division

$\frac{x^{3}-6x^{2}-5x-14}{x-7}=x^{2}\frac{x^{2}-5x-14 }{x-7}$ ⇒(1)

$\frac{x^{2}-5x-14}{x-7}=x\frac{2x-14}{x-7}$ ⇒(2)

$\frac{2x-14}{x-7}=2$ ⇒(3)

From (1) , (2) and (3)

The quotient of the long division is $x^{2}+x+2$ and no remainder

So the remainder is zero

* If you want to check your answer Multiply the quotient by the divisor

$(x^{2}+x+2)(x-7)=x^{3}-6x^{2}-5x-14$

Can someone help me with my homework please?

Multiplying x^2 by 5 stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 5. Try graphing both x^2 and 5x^2 and see for yourself that this is correct.

Find the zeroes of the following equation:

weqwewe [10]

Answer: $\bold{x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}}$

both zeros are irrational numbers

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Note: The question would have made more sense if if it was 2/x = x - 1 but I will answer it as written.

$\dfrac{1}{x}=x-1\qquad \text{Restriction: }x\neq 0\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, simplify, and set equal to zero:}\\1=x(x-1)\\\\1=x^2-x\\\\0=x^2-x-1\\\\\\\text{This is not factorable so you will need to use Quadratic Formula:}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-1)\pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{1\pm \sqrt5}{2}$
