Larry has $20 to spend at the store. He plans to purchase five items that cost $5.79, $7.63, $3.46, $2.99, and $3.65. Larry esti

mated his total cost to make sure he has enough money for his purchases. Is his estimate accurate? Explain why or why not.

He does not. 5.79 + 7.63 + 3.46 +2.99 + 3.65 is equivalent to $23.52. And on top of that you don’t know if it’s before or after tax.

Answer:Sample Response: Larry did not round correctly. He used front-end estimation, but he did not round up when appropriate. His estimate will be lower than the amount of money he needs.

Suppose that F(x) = x2 and G(X) = 2/3 x^2. Which statement best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?

masha68 [24]

<h2>Answer:The graph of $G(x)$ is the graph of $F(x)$ compressed vertically.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $F(x)=x^{2}$ and $G(x)=\frac{2}{3}x^{2}$

$F(x)$ is always positive because $x^{2}$ is always positive.

$G(x)$ is always positive because $\frac{2}{3}x^{2}$ is always positive.

So,both are always positive.

So,there is no flipping over x-axis.

In $F(x)$ ,the height of a point at $x_{0}$ is $x_{0}^{2}$

In $G(x)$ ,the height of a point at $x_{0}$ is $\frac{2}{3}x_{0}^{2}$

So,height of any point has less height in $G(x)$ than $F(x)$

So,the graph of $G(x)$ is the graph of $F(x)$ compressed vertically.

Find a formula for the given polynomial.

levacccp [35]

In this question, we have to identify the zeros of the polynomial, along with a point, and then we get that the formula for the polynomial is:

$p(x) = -0.5(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)$

------------------------

Equation of a polynomial, according to it's zeros:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots such that it can be written as: , in which a is the leading coefficient.

------------------------

Identifying the zeros:

Given the graph, the zeros are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. In this question, they are:

$x_1 = -2, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 3$

Thus

$p(x) = a(x - x_{1})(x - x_{2})(x-x_3)$

$p(x) = a(x - (-2))(x - 0)(x-3)$

$p(x) = ax(x+2)(x-3)$

$p(x) = ax(x^2 - x + 6)$

$p(x) = a(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)$

------------------------

Leading coefficient:

Passes through point (2,-8), that is, when $x = 2, y = -8$ , which is used to find a. So

$p(x) = a(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)$

$-8 = a(2^3 - 2^2 + 6*2)$

$16a = -8$

$a = -\frac{8}{16} = -0.5$

------------------------

Considering the zeros and the leading coefficient, the formula is:

$p(x) = -0.5(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)$
