X= assistant's wage
x+15= instructor's wage

Add their wages set equal to $65

x + (x + 15)= 65
combine like terms

2x + 15= 65
subtract 15 from both sides

2x= 50
divide both sides by 2

x= $25 assistant's wage

x+15= 25 + 15= $40 instructor's wage


ANSWER: (C) $25 hourly wage of assistant

Hope this helps! :)

Given a leading coefficient of 8, polynomial roots of 1 & 2, and the known point on the graph (4,5). Write an equation that
m_a_m_a [10]

Given:

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8.

Polynomial roots are 1 and 2.

The graph passes through the point (4,5).

To find:

The 3rd root and the equation of the polynomial.

Solution:

The factor form of a polynomial is:

y=a(x-c_1)(x-c_2)...(x-c_n)

Where, a is a constant and c_1,c_2,...,c_n are the roots of the polynomial.

Polynomial roots are 1 and 2. So, (x-1) and (x-2) are the factors of the polynomial.

Let the third root of the polynomial by c, then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8. So, a=8 and the equation of the polynomial is:

y=8(x-1)(x-2)(x-c)

The graph passes through the point (4,5). Putting x=4,y=5, we get

5=8(4-1)(4-2)(4-c)

5=8(3)(2)(4-c)

5=48(4-c)

Divide both sides by 48.

\dfrac{5}{48}=4-c

c=4-\dfrac{5}{48}

c=\dfrac{192-5}{48}

c=\dfrac{187}{48}

Therefore, the 3rd root on the polynomial is \dfrac{187}{48}.
