A pitcher has 16 cups of water in it. During the day, Aditi drank 21⁄2 cups, Kavitha drank 33⁄4 cups, and Rahul drank 41⁄8 cups.
1 answer:
Total cups of water in pitcher = 16 cups
Cups of water drank by Aditi = =
cups
Cups of water drank by Kavitha = =
cups
Cups of water drank by Rahul = =
cups
Total cups of water drank by three of them
= +
+
LCM of 2,4 and 8 is 8.
=
= cups
Number of cups left in the pitcher =
LCM of 1 and 8 is 8.
=
=
= cups
So, cups are left in the pitcher.

Answer:
To solve a polynomial inequality, we factor the polynomial into irreducible factors and find all the real _zeros_ polynomial. Then we find the intervals determined by the real _zeros and use test points in each interval to find the_ sign of the polynomial on that interval.
If P(x) = x(x+2)(x-1)
And P(x) ≥ 0
We see that P(x) ≥ 0 on the intervals (-2, 0) and (1, ∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is attached to this solution
To solve inequality of a polynomial, we first obtain the solutions of the polynomial. The solutions of the polynomial are called the zeros of the polynomial.
If P(x) = x(x+2)(x-1)
The solutions of this polynomial, that is the zeros of this polynomial are 0, -2 and 1.
To now solve the inequality that arises when
P(x) ≥ 0
We redraw the table and examine the intervals
The intervals to be examined as obtained from the zeros include (-∞, -2), (-2, 0), (0, 1) and (1, ∞)
Sign of | x<-2 | -2<x<0 | 0<x<1 | x>1
x | -ve | -ve | +ve | +ve
(x + 2) | -ve | +ve | +ve | +ve
(x - 1) | -ve | -ve | -ve | +ve
x(x+2)(x-1) | -ve | +ve | -ve | +ve
The intervals that satisfy the polynomial inequality P(x) = x(x+2)(x-1) ≥ 0 include
(-2, 0) and (1, ∞)
