Answer:

\text{Fraction of Sara sold }= \dfrac{1675}{2587}

\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }= \dfrac{684}{2587}

\text{Fraction of Leila sold }= \dfrac{228}{2587}

Step-by-step explanation:

The three salespeople for a local advertising firm are sara, Kenny and Leila.

Sara sold total ads = $3350

Kenny sold total ads = $1368

Leila sold total ads = $456

First we calculate total sale of all three = 3350 + 1368 + 456 = $5174

We need to find fraction of total sale with each person sell.

\text{Fraction of Sara sold }=\dfrac{\text{Sara total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}

\text{Fraction of Sara sold }=\dfrac{3350}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{1675}{2587}\approx 64.75\%

\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }=\dfrac{\text{Kenny total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}

\text{Fraction of Kenny sold }=\dfrac{1368}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{684}{2587}\approx 26.45\%

\text{Fraction of Leila sold }=\dfrac{\text{Leila total sold}}{\text{Total sale by all three}}

\text{Fraction of Leila sold }=\dfrac{456}{5174}\Rightarrow\dfrac{228}{2587}\approx 8.8\%

Y = x^2 + 2x - 8 Solve with zeros
Katen [24]

Answer:

x=-4  x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 + 2x - 8

Set equal to zero

0 = x^2 + 2x - 8

Factor

What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4 * -2 = -8

4+-2 = 2

0=(x+4) ( x-2)

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0   x-2 =0

x=-4  x=2
