Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Freeman family barbecued veggie burgers, corn cobs, and mushroom caps. 3/8 of the items barbecued are veggie burgers, and 1/3 of the items barbecued are corn cobs.

Let the total number of berbecued items be x. Therefore:

x = barbecued veggie burgers + barbecued corn cobs + barbecued mushroom caps

Barbecued veggie burgers = (3/8)x, barbecued corn cobs = (1/3)x, Let barbecued mushroom caps be y

Substituting:

x = (3/8)x + (1/3)x + y

Multiply through by 24

24x = 9x + 8x + 24y

24x = 17x + 24y

24y = 24x - 17x

24y = 7x

y = (7/24)x

barbecued mushroom caps = (7/24) of items

7/24 of the items barbecued are mushroom caps

HELP!!! Use the factor Theorem to determine whether the binomial x+1 is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-
Dovator [93]

ANSWER

A. No because f(c)=-30

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial is

f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-6

If x+1 is a factor , then f(-1) must evaluate to zero.

f( - 1) =2( - 1)^3-9( - 1)^2+13( - 1)-6

f( - 1) =2( - 1)-9( 1)+13( - 1)-6

f( - 1) = - 2-9 - 13-6

f( - 1) = -11 - 19

f( - 1) = - 30

Since f(-1) is not equal to zero, x+1 is not a factor of

f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-6

Guys I need the answers to number 16
Umnica [9.8K]
#16:  Let's clear the fraction on the way to solving this inequality for x.  By mult. the given inequality by 2, we'll get -2 (is greater than) x+4.  We want x to be positive.  So, leave it where it is.  Subtract 4 from both sides of this inequality.  We end up with -6 (is greater than) x, which is the same thing as x (is less than) -6.  What would the graph of that simple inequality look like?

Graph it.  (Hint:  The graph is a straight dashed line, and you must shade one side of it, but not the other side.

How to factor this expression <br><br>x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x - 16
Natalija [7]
X²(x - 4) +4 (x - 4)

(x² + 4) (x - 4)

First find the common terms that can enter into both x³ and 4x² then write its down in this case it’s x² that can enter x³ leaving only x _since x³/x² = subtract of the indices. x² will also enter 4x² leaving only four hence you having x² (x - 4)
then do the same for the next pair of terms giving you 4 that can enter into both 4 and 16
Leaving you with +4 (x - 4)

Now you can put the common terms together like so (x² + 4) and choose get one of the other two which are the same= (x - 4)
= (x² + 4) (x - 4)
