Answer:
a) 10 pieces of 2/3 pound can be made.
b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of clear wax available = pounds
So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax
Now, The weight of each piece = pounds
To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,
let that number = n
So,
or, n =
So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax
Left over amount of wax = Total weight - Weights of the pieces made
= 4.5- 6(0.66)
= 0.54 pounds
Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over

Answer:
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x - 1)(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 17x² + 16
Use the substitution u = x², then
u² - 17u + 16
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 16) which sum to give the coefficient of the u- term (- 17)
The factors are - 16 and - 1, then
u² - 17u + 16
= (u - 16)(u - 1) ← replace u by x²
= (x² - 16)(x² - 1) ← both factors are difference of squares
= (x - 4)(x + 4)(x - 1)(x + 1)
