Answer:

-4/1 or -4

Step-by-step explanation:

A reciprocal is found by switching the numerator and denominator. So if we ignored the negative sign and found the reciprocal of 1/4, it is 4/1. Now, if you add the negative sign, you get -4/1. If you simplify, you get -4. I'm not really too sure on my answer so you can ask more than one person. I hope you get the help you need!

Alona [7]

Answer: There are 22 whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of slices of bread = 44

Number of slices of cheese = 75

According to question, a cheese sandwich consists of 2 slices of bread and 3 slices of cheese.

So, we need to find the number of whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared.

Number of sandwich containing only slice of bread is given by

$\dfrac{44}{2}=22$

Number of sandwich containing only slice of cheese is given by

$\dfrac{75}{3}=25$

As we know that each sandwich should contain both slice of bread and slice of cheese.

So, Least of (22, 25) = 22

Hence, there are 22 whole cheese sandwiches that can be prepared.

They are only asking for how many he sells so the ones he gives away don't mean anything.

24-10=14

Sells 14 roses a day

36-12=24

Sells 24 carnations a day

X= number of roses and carnations sold in a week(7 days)

X= 24(7) + 14(7)

X= 168 + 98

X= 266

Dan sells a total of 266 roses and carnations a week.

The function f(x)f(x) is a quartic function and the zeros of f(x)f(x) are -6−6, -5−5, -2−2 and 11. Assume the leading coefficien

Luden [163]

<h2>Answer: </h2>

$\boxed{f(x) = 11x^4 + 22x^3 - 1001x^2 - 5632x - 7260}$

<h2>Explanation: </h2>

A quartic function is a function given by the the following equation in standard form:

$f(x)=a_{4}x^4+a_{3}x^3+a_{2}x^2+a_{1}x+a_{0} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ a_{4},a_{3},a_{2},a_{1},a_{0} \ \text{are constant} \\ \\ \text{and} \ a_{4} \ \text{is the leading coefficient}$

From the statement we must assume the leading coefficient of f(x) is 11, so:

$a_{4}=11$

The zeros are:

$x=-6 \\ \\ x=-5 \\ \\ x=-2 \\ \\ x=11$

So, we can write:

$f(x)=11(x-(-6))(x-(-5))(x-(-2))(x-11) \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \mathrm{Rule}:-\left(-a\right)=a \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ f(x)=11\left(x+6\right)\left(x+5\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-11\right)$

$Expand:\left(x+6\right)\left(x+5\right):\ x^2+11x+30: \ \text{Distributive Property} \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ f(x)=11\left(x^2+11x+30\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-11\right) \\ \\ \\ Expand:\left(x^2+11x+30\right)\left(x+2\right):\ x^3+13x^2+52x+60: \ \text{Distributive Property} \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ f(x)=11\left(x^3+13x^2+52x+60\right)\left(x-11\right)$

$Expand: \left(x^3+13x^2+52x+60\right)\left(x-11\right):\ x^4+2x^3-91x^2-512x-660 \\ (Distributive \ property)$

Finally:

$f(x) = 11(x^4 + 2x^3 - 91x^2 - 512x - 660) \\ \\ \boxed{f(x) = 11x^4 + 22x^3 - 1001x^2 - 5632x - 7260}$

Solve this

A sandwich store charges a delivery fee to bring lunch to an office.

Delivery cost - D

Meatball sandwich cost - M

One office pays $40.50 for 5 meatball sandwiches.

40.50 = 5M + D

Another office pays $66.50 for 9 meat ball sandwiches

66.50 = 9M + D

A. How much does each meatball sandwich add to the cost of delivery?

D = 40.50 - 5M = 66.50 - 9M

40.50 - 5M = 66.50 - 9M

9M - 5M = 66.50 - 40.50

4M = 26.00

M = 6.50

B. What is the delivery fee

D = 40.50 - 5M = 40.50 - 5(6.50) = 40.50 - 32.50 = 8.00

Check

66.50 = 9M + D = 9(6.50) + 8 = 58.50 + 8.00 = 66.50
