X= 9/2, 15/2
decimal form: 4.5,-7.5
mixed number form: 4 1/2, -7 1/2
Answer:
359
Step-by-step explanation:
5-2+5-54-3+405+12-9=359
Let us assume the initial number of bacteria in the culture = xAfter 1 hour,The number of bacteria = 185x/100 = 1.85xAfter 2 hours,The number of bacteria = (185 * 1.85x)/100 = 3.42xSo3.42x = 12500x = 12500/3.42 = 3654.97 = 3655From the above deduction, we can conclude that the initial number of bacteria in the culture is 3655.
I didn't get all the part with the tiles, but here's the general answer:
given a polynomial
we have that 
is a factor of 
if and only if k is a root of , i.e. if
So, given the polynomial
We can check if 
is a factor by evaluating 
:
So, is not a factor.
Similarly, we can evaluate 
to check if 
are factors:
So, only 
is a factor of
