Answer: Answers are in the steps read carefully!

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 3x^2 - 7x + 2 To factor this polynomial, you have to find two numbers that their product is 6 and their sum is -7.  The numbers -1 and -6 works out because -6 times -1 is 6  and -6 plus -1 is -7.

Now rewrite the polynomial as

3x^2 - 1x - 6x + 2   Now group it  

(3x^2 - 1x) (-6x+2)  Factor it by groups

x (3x -1)  -2(3x -1)    Now factor out 3x-1  

(3x -1) (x-2)  Done!    

B)  2x^2 - x -3     Now the same way.You will have two numbers that  their product is -6 and their sum is -1. You may be wondering how I get -6 .I get -6 by multiply the leading coefficient  2 by the constant -3.  The numbers -3 and 2 works out. Because -3 times 2 is -6 and -3 plus 2 is -1.

 Rewrite the polynomial as

2x^2 +2x - 3x -3     GRoup them and factor them

(2x^2 + 2x)  (-3x-3)  

2x(x+1) -3(x+1)  Factor out x+1

(x+1) (2x -3) Done!  

C) 3x^2 - 16x - 12   Find two numbers that their product is -36 and their sum is -12. The numbers -18 and 2 works out because -18 times 2 is -36 and -18 plus 2 is -16.

Rewrite the polynomial

3x^2 +2x -18x - 12   GRoup them

 (3x^2 + 2x)   (-18x - 12)   Factor them

x (3x +2) -6(3x +2)  Factor out 3x+2

(3x+2) (x -6)  Done !

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day and $12.50 an hour at night. If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours
Firdavs [7]

Answer

Find out the  which system of equations could be used to determine the number of hours charged at the day rate (d) and at the night rate (n) .

To proof

As given in the question

Let us assume that the number of hours charged at the day rate = d

Let us assume that the number of hours charged at the night rate = n

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day and $12.50 an hour at night. If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours of use.

Total working hour in a company including day and night be  12 hours .

than the equation become in the form

d + n = 12

also

An online data base charges $25 an hour during the day

$12.50 an hour at night.

If a research company paid $250 for 12 hours of use.

than the equation becomes

25d + 12.50n = 250

than the two equation are

d + n = 12 , 25d + 12.50n = 250

multiply first by 25 and subtracted  from 25d + 12.50n = 250

25d - 25d + 12.50n - 25n = 250 - 300

12.5 n = 50

n = \frac{50}{12.5}

n = 4hours

put this in the d + n = 12

d + 4 =12

d = 12-4

d = 8 hours

Therefore the number of hours charged at the day rate  is 8 hours  and at the night rate is  4hours .

Hence proved

kramer


Finished:Left

8:1

8/1 = 72/x

Cross Multiply

8x=72

divide each side by 8

x=9

She already finished 72 and has 9 remaining

Total = Finished + Remaining = 72 + 9 = 81
