Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since (p - 1) is a factor then p = 1 is a root and p(1) = 0

p(1) = $1^{4}$ + 1² + 1 - k = 0, that is

3 - k = 0 ⇒k = 3

Select all the expressions with accurately written descriptions.

Paha777 [63]

Let's try to divide the sentence into multiple parts and then combine it one by one to make it easier to understand.

1. True
2 times y and 6 -------->(2y+6)
the square of the sum of "2 times y and 6" -------->(2y+6)^2
8 times "the square of the sum of 2 times y and 6"------> 8(2y+6)^2

2. True
the difference of x and 7 -------->(x-7)
9 and x -------->(9 + x)
2 times the product of the sum of
"9 and x" and "the difference of x and 7"-------> 2(9 + x) (x-7)

3. True
difference of 5 times x and 3 -------->(5x-3)
the square of the difference of 5 times x and 3------->(5x-3)^2

4. False
The description should be: the product of 7 and the square of x
the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)
the square of the product of 7 and x -------->(7x)^2

5. True
This one should be clear as it was one sentences
the sum of y squared(y^2) and three times y(3y) minus 4-------->y^2+ 3y -4

6. False
The description should be: the product of 5 and 8 times the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8
the sum of 20x and 8 -------->20x+8
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8-------->8+ x^2 +20x+8
the product of 5 and.... ------->(5)(........
the product of 5 and
8 plus the square of x plus the sum of 20x and 8---->(5)(8+ x^2 +20x+8)

235 people are at RSM summer camp. There are 35 more boys than girls, and 70 fewer adults than girls. How many people of each gr

makkiz [27]

Answer:

The number of girls are 90 girls

The number of boys are 125 boys

The number of adults are 20 adults

There are 90 girls, 125 boys and 20 adults at the camp

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people is given as 235 people

The number of boys = 35 + The number of girls

The number of adults = The number of girls - 70

Let the total number of girls = G

Therefore, we have;

The number of boys = 35 + G

The number of adults = G - 70

The total number of persons = The number of boys + The number of adults + The number of girls

Therefore;

235 = The number of boys + The number of adults + The number of girls

Which gives;

235 = 35 + G + G - 70 + G = 3·G - 35

235 = 3·G - 35

3·G - 35 = 235

3·G = 235 + 35 = 270

G = 270/3 = 90

The number of girls = 90

The number of boys = 35 + The number of girls = 35 + 90 = 125

The number of boys = 125

The number of adults = The number of girls - 70 = 90 - 70 = 20

The number of adults = 20.
