Answer:

0.32 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of weight of -copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel = 177:12:7:4

let the

weight of copper = 177x

weight of zinc = 12x

weight of manganese = 7x

weight of nickel = 4x

Total weight of this alloy in terms of x =  177x + 12x+ 7x + 4x = 300x

given weight of alloy = 8 grams

thus,

weight of this alloy in terms of x =given weight of alloy

300x = 8 grams

x = 8/300 grams =

weight of zinc = 12x = 12 * 8/300 grams = 96/300 grams = 0.32 grams

Answer:

diameter = 2.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle is given as C = πd

Circumference of the tree trunk = 7.85 ft

π = 3.14

Diameter of the tree trunk = d

Thus:

7.85 = 3.14*d

Divide both sides by 3.14

7.85/3.14 = 3.14*d/3.14

2.5 = d

d = 2.5 ft

Multiply the polynomials show steps
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

3a^{4} + 11a³ - 7a² + 18a - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>When multiplying with two brackets, you need to multiply the three terms, (a²), (4a) and (-6) from the first bracket to all the terms in the second brackets, (3a²), (-a) and (3) individually. I have put each multiplied term in a bracket so it is easier.</u>

(a² + 4a - 6) × (3a² - a + 3) =

(a² × <em>3a²</em>) + {a² × <em>(-a)</em>} + (a² × <em>3</em>) + (4a × <em>3a²</em>) + {4a × <em>(-a)</em>} + (4a × <em>3</em>) + {(-6) × <em>a²</em>) + {(-6) × <em>(-a)</em>} + {(-6) × <em>3</em>}

<u>Now we can evaluate the terms in the brackets. </u>

(a² × 3a²) + {a² × (-a)} + (a² × 3) + (4a × 3a²) + {4a × (-a)} + (4a × 3) + {(-6) × a²) + {(-6) × (-a)} + {(-6) × 3} =

3a^{4} + (-a³) + 3a² + 12a³ + (-4a²) + 12a + (-6a²) + 6a + (-18)

<u>We can open the brackets now. One plus and one minus makes a minus. </u>

3a^{4} + (-a³) + 3a² + 12a³ + (-4a²) + 12a + (-6a²) + 6a + (-18) =

3a^{4} -a³ + 3a² + 12a³ -4a² + 12a -6a² + 6a -18

<u>Evaluate like terms.</u>

3a^{4} -a³ + 3a² + 12a³ -4a² + 12a -6a² + 6a -18 = 3a^{4} + 11a³ - 7a² + 18a - 18
