Is x+2 a factor of 3x^4+7x^3+3x^2-x-4?

1 answer:

4 0

Lets check by putting x= - 2
3x^4+7x^3+3x^2-x-4=0
3(-2)^4+7(-2)^3+3(-2)^2+2-4=0
3*16-56+12-2=0
48-56+10=
2=0 No
x+2 is not a factor

A pond has 150 fish and the population decreases by 8% each day. How many days before there are 30 fish

nlexa [21]

Answer:

19 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 150$ --- initial

$r = 8\%$ -- rate

Required

Days when the fish gets to 30

The function is exponential and as such it follows;

$y = ab^x$

Where x represents the number of days and y the number of fishes

Because the fishes decreases;

$b = 1 - r$

So, we have:

$b = 1 - 8\%$

Express as decimal

$b = 1 - 0.08$

$b = 0.92$

In $y = ab^x$

$a =150$

$y = 30$

$b = 0.92$

So, we have:

$30 = 150 * 0.92^x$

Divide both sides by 150

$0.2 = 0.92^x$

Take log of both sides

$log(0.2) = log(0.92^x)$

Apply law of logarithm

$log(0.2) = x\ log(0.92)$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{log(0.2)}{log(0.92)}$

$x = \frac{-0.6990}{-0.0362}$

$x = 19.309$

$x \approx 19$

<em>Hence, it takes approximately 19 days</em>

As part of a survey, 150 students were asked to name their favorite class. 50 points

disa [49]

A:40%
If you put 60 over 150 and x(percent of students) over 100 and cross multiply 100 and 60, you will get 6000. You then divide that by 150 which leaves you with 40 as x and 40 over 100 is 40%.

In a right triangle, <A and <B are acute. Find the value of sin A, when tan A = 8/15

finlep [7]

Answer:sinA=8/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras principle

x=√(15^2+8^2)

x=√(15x15+8x8)

x=√(225+64)

x=√(289)

x=17

SinA=opposite/hypothenus

SinA=8/17

CAN SOME ONE HELP ME ITS URGENT

aniked [119]

As we can observe from given information,

UT = ST

2x + 5 = x + 12

2x - x = 12 - 5

x = 7

now, let's solve for y

RU = RS

y - 4 = x + 5

y - 4 = 7 + 5

y = 12 + 4

y = 16

hope it helped...
