Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 3rd question, we are given the equation x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + 2x + 24. One of the factors is x + 3. Now, we can use long division to find that the equation we have left is x^2 - 2x - 8. We can just factor this to get (x - 4) (x + 2). In the 3rd question, possible factors for the coefficient are 1, 2, -1, -2. Possible factors for the constant are 1, 7, -1, -7. Now, we can try out all of them. The possible factors are 1, 7, -1, -7, 2, 14, -2, -14.
Take half of the coefficient of x: It is 3, and half that is 3/2.
Then <span>x^2+3x=6 becomes:
</span><span> x^2+3x + (3/2)^2 =6 + (3/2)^2, and
(x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4
You were not asked to solve the equation, but why not do it for the practice?
</span>Solve (x+3/2)^2 = 6 + 9/4 for x. There will be 2 values.
Answer: B.The cost of rental fee only
Step-by-step explanation:
The $35 is the cost of the rental fee only. The person would then have to pay a further $15 for every hour they use the boat.
Essentially, the $35 is the fixed cost associated with the rental and the $15 is the variable cost to do so. If this were in a linear equation format it would take the form: y = 15x + 35.
Let x be the number of minutes Peg and Larry used their phones. So their costs can be written as:
Cost of Peg's Phone usage = 25 + 0.25x
Cost of Larry's Phone usage = 35 + 0.20x
We are to find when the Peg's phone will be more than Larry's phone. We can set up the inequality as:
25 + 0.25x > 35 + 0.20x
Re-arranging the inequality
0.25x - 0.20x > 35 - 25
0.05x > 10
x > 10/0.05
x > 200
Thus, Pag's phone will cost more if the number of minutes of phone usage is more than 200
Answer:
The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
Step-by-step explanation:
The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day Sunday-Saturday can be approximated by
Where x represents the number of days after Sunday
T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.
Sunday = x=0
Monday = x=1
Tuesday = x=2
Wednesday = x=3
Thursday = x =4
Friday = x=5
Saturday = x=6
Substitute x= 0
On Sunday 37 tickets were issued
Substitute x= 1
On Monday 115 tickets were issued
Substitute x= 2
On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued
Substitute x= 3
On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued
Substitute x= 4
On Thursday 277 tickets were issued
Substitute x= 5
On Friday 307 tickets were issued
Substitute x= 6
On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
