Berry Delicious is a popular shop that sells chocolate-covered strawberries. Last year, the shop used 6,820 kilograms of strawbe

rries to make its treats. This year, the shop used 5,456 kilograms. What is the percent of decrease in the amount of strawberries used annually?

PLS HURRY RATING BRAINLIEST !!!!!

storchak [24]

The form f(x) = a(bx) equals a. The initial value of the function f(x) = a(bx) is always a. This is due to the fact that an is not reliant on x. As a result, if x changes, bx will change as well, but a will not.

What is the quotient when 4x3 + 2x + 7 is divided by x + 3?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The quotient of this division is $(4x^2 -12x + 38)$ . The remainder here would be $-26$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator $4x^3 + 2x + 7$ is a polynomial about $x$ with degree $3$ .

The divisor $x + 3$ is a polynomial, also about $x$ , but with degree $1$ .

By the division algorithm, the quotient should be of degree $3 - 1 = 2$ , while the remainder shall be of degree $1 - 1 = 0$ (i.e., the remainder would be a constant.) Let the quotient be $a\,x^2 + b\, x + c$ with coefficients $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ .

$4x^3 + 2x + 7 = \left(a\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3)$ .

Start by finding the first coefficient of the quotient.

The degree-three term on the left-hand side is $4 x^3$ . On the right-hand side, that would be $a\, x^3$ . Hence $a = 4$ .

Now, given that $a = 4$ , rewrite the right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(4\,x^2 + b\, x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(4x^2 + (b\, x + c)\right)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^2(x + 3) + (bx + c)(x + 3) \cr =& 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}$ .

Hence:

$4x^3 + 2x + 7 = 4x^3 + 12x^2 + (b\,x + c)(x + 3)$

Subtract $\left(4x^3 + 12x^2\right$ from both sides of the equation:

$-12x^2 + 2x + 7 = (b\,x + c)(x + 3)$ .

The term with a degree of two on the left-hand side has coefficient $(-12)$ . Since the only term on the right hand side with degree two would have coefficient $b$ , $b = -12$ .

Again, rewrite the right-hand side:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(-12 x + c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& \left(-12 x+ c\right)(x + 3) \cr =& (-12x)(x + 3) + c(x + 3) \cr =& -12x^2 -36x + (bx + c)(x + 3)\end{aligned}$ .

Subtract $-12x^2 -36x$ from both sides of the equation:

$38x + 7 = c(x + 3)$ .

By the same logic, $c = 38$ .

Hence the quotient would be $(4x^2 - 12x + 38)$ .

A journeyperson earns $28.75 per hour. A new apprentice earns 60% of the journeyperson's rate.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

$503.70

Step-by-step explanation:

$28.75 × .6 = $17.25

$17.25 × 40 = $690

$690 × .27 = $186.30

$690 - $186.30 = $503.70
