What is 0.275 0.20 0.572 and 0.725 greatest to least

Andru [333]

.725 , .572 , .275, .2
You look at the first decimal place to see which is the greatest. 7 is greater than 5 and 2 so it's first. Then 5 is greater than 2 so it is next. For the last two numbers since 2 is the same value you look at the next decimal place. Since 7 is greater than 0 it comes next!

A photograph was enlarged to a width of 15 inches. If the scale factor was 3 /2 , what was the width of the original photograph?

andre [41]

If the width is 15, and the scale factor from width to length is 3:2, then you will have to divide 15 by 3 to get your original width.
15/3 = 5.
5 is your original width.

Find the complex zeros of x^3+27. write f in factored form

aliina [53]

$x^3+27=0
\\x^3+3^3=0
\\(x+3)(x^2-3x+9)=0
\\x^2-3x+9=0
\\a=1,b=-3,c=9
\\
\\x_{1,2}= \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-(-3)\pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4\times1\times9} }{2\times1} =\frac{3\pm \sqrt{-27} }{2} =\frac{3\pm 3\sqrt{3}i }{2} 
\\
\\(x+3)(x-\frac{3+ 3\sqrt{3}i }{2})(x-\frac{3- 3\sqrt{3}i }{2})=0
