Answer:

Highest received is by department Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the research funds of a certain company were divided among three departments, X, Y, and Z.

The research funds received by departments X and Y were in the ratio 3 to 5, respectively.

The research funds received by departments X and Z were in the ratio 2 to 1, respectively

X:Y = 3:5

X:Z = 2:1

X is common in both the equations so let us take lcd for 3 and 2 = 6

Multiply I equation by 2 and II equation by 3

X:Y = 6:10

X: Z = 6:3

Since X has the same numerical value we can combine these two tog et

X:Y: Z =6:10:3

Highest received is by department Y

Solve the inequality and write down the solution in interval notation x(x-3)(x+1)<0

Since it's so nicely grouped, we can work with it! For the equation to equal 0, x=0, 3, or -1 (since x-3 and x+1 equal 0 when plugged in with 3 and -1 respectively). All we have to do is plug in numbers before, between, and after these numbers and apply it to the rest of them. Since -1 is the smallest number of the group, we can plug in a number below that (for this example, -5) and plug it in to get -8*-5*-4= something negative since it contains an odd number of negative numbers. Therefore, anything less than 1 is negative. For between -1 and 0, we get x=-0.5 equals -0.5*-3.5*0.5=something positive (since it has an even amount of negative numbers), proving that everything between -1 and 0 here is positive.  For something between 0 and 3, we can plug 1 in to get 1*-2*2= something negative. Do you see a pattern here? It's negative, then positive, etc.. Therefore, if the number is greater than 3 it is positive.  Reviewing a bit, we can see that (-inf, -1) is negative as well as (0,3), making the interval notation (-inf, -1) U (0, 3) since when you plug -1, 0, and 3 in it is 0, not less than 0!
