From the looks of it, it is just smart substitution.  Basically, you want to pick values for "x" in such a way that one of the variables disappear.  Do this enough times and you can get a solvable set of equations.

So for (2)
Pick x = 1 (doing this removes the a variable)
We get:
4b + c = 1

Now pick x = -1 (doing this removes the b variable)
We get: 
4a + c = 1

Now there is no way to remove the c variable so let's just pick x = 0. 
We get:
a + b + c = 0

Now we have 3 set of equations and 3 variables.

Solve this by using Gauss-Jordan elimination or whatever other technique you know (Or just use an online matrix calculator).

You should get:
a = 1/2
b = 1/2
c = -1

Best Buy is displaying 15 laptops for a big store sale. The laptops include 6 identical​ Dells, 4 identical​ Chromebooks, and 5
Alchen [17]

Answer:

630,630 different arrangements are possible for the given laptops.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of laptops = n = 15

Number of identical Dell laptops  = 6

Number of identical Chromebooks  = 4

Number of identical Mackbooks = 5

We have to find in how many ways can the laptops be arranged. Number of arrangement of objects is calculated using Permutations as the order of objects matter during the arrangement. The formula to calculate the number of possible arrangements when there are similar objects is given as:

\frac{n!}{a!b!c!...}

Here n is the total number of objects and a,b, and c represent the number of identical objects. Using the given values we get:

\frac{15!}{6!4!5!} = 630630

This means 630,630 different arrangements are possible for the given laptops.

Find the area of the figure above. use 3.14 for π. do not round your answer
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

This is the combination of three figures semi circle, rectangle and triangle.

We will find the area of each figure and will add them.

The radius of the circle is half of the diameter, so radius is 6.

Area of semi circle will be : \frac{1}{2} \times 3.14 \times 6^2

Area of semi circle is : 56.52

Area of rectangle is: length \times width

So, area of rectangle is:40\times 12=480

Area of triangle is : \frac{1}{2}\times base\times height

So, area of triangle is :\frac{1}{2} \times 12\times 5=30

Adding all these three areas, the area of above figure will be:

[tex]Area = 56.52+480+30

Hence Area is 566.52............... Answer
