Solving a polynomial inequation
Solving the following inequation:
(x - 8) (x + 1) > 0
We are going to find the sign both parts of the multiplication,
(x - 8) and (x + 1), have when
x < - 8
-8 < x < 1
1 < x
Then we know (x - 8) (x + 1) > 0 whenever (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive
We can see in the figure (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive when x < -8 and x > 1
Then
Answer:B
Answers:
- Choice B) y = (1/4)x
- The unit rate is <u> 3.89 </u> dollars per pound. It costs <u> 23.34 </u> dollars for a turkey that weighs 6 pounds.
=====================================================
Explanations:
- Direct proportional equations are always in the form y = kx, where k is some constant. In the case of choice B, we have k = 1/4. Visually, direct proportion equations are always straight lines and go through the origin.
- Divide $34.99 over 9 to get 34.99/9 = 3.88777 approximately. This rounds to 3.89, so it costs $3.89 per pound. That's the unit rate. Multiply this by 6 to get 6*3.89 = 23.34 which is the cost of the 6 pound turkey.
So we start off by subtracting 137.3 from 180 getting 42.5. If you add the ratios up (3+4) you get 7 and 7 should equal 42.5. thus,
42.5/7= 85/14
(85/14)*3=18.2 or (255/14 to be exact)
(85/14)*4= 24.29 or (170/7 to be exact)
<span>Okay, pretend the number equals X,
so x is 35%, and that would equal 7, so then
x is still 35/100 = 7
x = 7 which is 100/35
x = 700/35
x = 20
then you get the number = 20
I hope this was helpful, and good luck! :P</span>
