The greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally  divided is 8.

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

We have to find the greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally divided. Let's calculate ratio of pens to pencils and then we will simplify , or we can find find HCF( Highest common factor) of pen & pencils and HCF will be the maximum number of students whom equally pens & pencils will be distributed. Ratio:

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{24}{32}

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{3(8)}{4(8)}

⇒ \frac{pens}{pencils} = \frac{3}{4}

So , 3pens + 4 pencils = Pens+ Pencils

⇒  3pens + 4 pencils = Pens+ Pencils

⇒   3x + 4x = 24+ 32

⇒  7x = 56

⇒ x = 8

Therefore, the greatest number of students to whom 24 pens and 32 pencils can be equally  divided is 8.

If f(x)=2x^3-6x^2-16x-20f(x)=2x *3 −6x *2−16x−20 and f(5)=0, then find all of the zeros of f(x)f(x) algebraically.
mihalych1998 [28]

The zeros of the cubic function f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 are given as follows:

x = 5, x = -1 + i, x = -1 - i.

<h3>How to obtain the solutions to the equation?</h3>

The equation is defined by the rule presented as follows:

f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20.

One solution for the equation is given as follows:

x = 5.

Because f(5) = 0.

Then (x - 5) is a linear factor of the function f(x), which can be written as follows:

2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 = (ax² + bx + c)(x - 5).

This is because the product of a linear function and a quadratic function results in a cubic function.

Now we expand the right side to begin finding the coefficients of the quadratic function that we are going to solve to find the remaining zeros:

2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 =  = ax³ + (b - 5a)x² + (c - 5b)x - 5c.

Then these coefficients are obtained comparing the left and the right side of the equality as follows:

  • a = 2.
  • -5c = -20 -> c = 4.
  • b = -6 + 5a = 4.

Hence the equation is:

2x² + 4x + 4.

Using a quadratic equation calculator, the remaining zeros are given as follows:

  • x = -1 + i.
  • x = -1 - i.
