Answer:
Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluation of f(a + 1) gives:
C. 3a + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
f(x) = 3x + 1
We have to find f(a+1).
For this purpose, we will take x = a+1 and
substitute it in the function f(x) = 3x+1:
f(x) = 3x + 1
f(a+1) = 3(a+1) +1
f(a+1) = 3(a) + 3(1) +1
f(a+1) = 3a+3+1
f(a+1) = 3a + 4
So the function f(a+1) is equal to option C. 3a + 4.
1 ton is 2,000 lbs
9 x 2,000 = 18,000
So, 18,000 is equal to 9 tons.
Hope this helps. :)
If the roots to such a polynomial are 2 and

, then we can write it as

courtesy of the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now expanding yields

which would be the correct answer, but clearly this option is not listed. Which is silly, because none of the offered solutions are *the* polynomial of lowest degree and leading coefficient 1.
So this makes me think you're expected to increase the multiplicity of one of the given roots, or you're expected to pull another root out of thin air. Judging by the choices, I think it's the latter, and that you're somehow supposed to know to use

as a root. In this case, that would make our polynomial

so that the answer is (probably) the third choice.
Whoever originally wrote this question should reevaluate their word choice...
10/100=0.1
1/4=0.25
0.1*0.25=0.025
Answer:
After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that the price of the current retailer, in dollars, is:
3.50
After the discount, the new price, in dollars, is:
3.20
We want to know what percentage of the original price is the final price.
To find out, we must divide the final price between the initial price and then multiply the result by 100%
So:
*100% = 0.914. * 100% = 91.4%
After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.
The discount percentage you are going to pay is 100% -91.4% = 8.6% of the initial price
