<u>Answer:</u>

If the spool has 10 cm of circumference or perimeter, this means that 10 cm of thread fits the whole circumference of the spool, which also means that

<h2>1 unwind is equivalent to 10 cm of thread. </h2>

Then, we have to make the following question:

If 10 cm of thread is equivalent to 1 unwind, to how many unwinds is equivalent 80 cm of thread?

If we want to know how many time does Alex need to unwind the spool, we can use the following relation also called the <u>Rule of Three: </u>

<u> </u>

10 cm----1 unwind

80 cm----X unwinds

X=\frac{80cm(1unwind)}{10cm}

X=8unwinds

The answer is:

Alex must unwind the spool 8 times in order to get 80 cm of thread

Find the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 6. A) y = 6 because the graph crosses the y-axis at 6. B) y = -0.25 because that
Fofino [41]

Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero's are referencing when y=0, note that when y=0 they are talking about the x-intercepts.  You can graph the function and see when the graph crosses the x-axis or solve for the x-values.  I will solve it via factoring and so:

f(x)=x^2+5x+6

Multiply the outer coefficients, in this case 1 and 6, and 1×6=6.  Now let's think about all the factors of 6 we have: 6×1 and 2×3.  Now is there a way that if we use any of these factors and add/subtract them they will return the middle term 5?  Actually we can say 6-1=5 and 2+3=5.  Let's try both.

First let's use 6 and -1 and so:

x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+6x-x+6\\\\x(x+6)-1(x-6)

Notice how we have (x+6) and (x-6), these factors do not match so this is incorrect.

Now let's try 2 and 3 and so:

x^2+5x+6\\\\x^2+3x+2x+6\\\\x(x+3)+2(x+3)\\\\(x+2)(x+3)

Notice how the factors (x+3) matched up so this is a factor and so is (x+2), now to solve for the zero's let's make f(x)=0 and solve each factor separately:

Case 1:

f(x)=x+2\\\\0=x+2\\\\x=-2

Case 2:

f(x)=x+3\\\\0=x+3\\\\x=-3

So your zero's are when x=-2 and x=-3.

D.) x=-3 and x=-2 because the graph crosses the x-axis at -3 and -2.

There are 3 consecutive odd integers that have a sum of 9. What is the greates of the 3 integers?
mash [69]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the first odd integer is n. The next odd integer will be n + 2 then the next is n + 4.

The sum of the 3 integers is 9 so

n + n+2 + n+4 = 9

3n + 6 = 9

n = 1. <-- the first integer

The greatest is n + 4 = 5
