Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+5x+6

=x2+3x+2x+6

=x(x+3)+2(x+3)

=(x+2)( x+3)

hence true...

Arrange the parabolas represented by the equations in increasing order with respect to the y-values of their directrixes.

Alexus [3.1K]

(x-h)^2=4P(y-k), vertex is (h,k)
P is distance from vertex to directix
remember to subtract P from the y value of the vertex (p-k) and that y value is the directix, y=p-k

nut
ok so one way is to just graph them on a graphing utility
remember if the graph opens up, then the directix is below that
or we can convert to 4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2 form where P is distance from directix

I will only convert the 1st one fully, you should be able to do the rest

1. y=-x^2+3x+8
multiply both sides by -1 since we don't like the x^2 term negative
-y=x^2-3x-8
add8 to both sides
-y+8=x^2-3x
take 1/2 of linear coeficient and square it and add to both sides
-3/2=-1.5
(-1.5)^2=2.25
-y+10.25=x^2-3x+2.25
factor perfect square
-y+10.25=(x-1.5)^2
force undistribute -1 in left side
(-1)(y-10.25)=something, we don't care anymore for now
factor out a 4 in -1
4(-1/4)(y-10.25)

k=10.25
p=-1/4=-0.25
directix=k-p=10.25-(-0.25)=10.5
directix is y=10.5

basically completee the square with x and find P by force factoring a 4 out

2. directix: y=-1.75

3. directix: y=1.5

4. directix: y=17.25

5. d: -37.5

6. d: 9.25

7. d=2.625

order them yourself

According to the rational root theorem, which is a factor of the polynomial f(x)=3x^3-5x^2-12x+20?

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

(x-2), (x+2), (3x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors of 3: ±1, ±3

Factors of 20: ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20

Possible factors of the polynomial: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20, .... (there's a lot more but you probably do not need to list them all)

Pick a number to divide the polynomial by (I picked 2)

(3x³-5x²-12x+20)÷(x-2) = 3x²+x-10

So (x-2) is a factor of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

Factor 3x²+x-10 = (3x-5)(x-2) these are the other factors of f(x) = 3x³-5x²-12x+20

A man shares a $1,200,00 inheritance between his 3 sons in ratio 1: 3: 6. Calculate the difference between the largest share and

soldi70 [24.7K]

A man's inheritance money = $1200

Given :

He shared his inheritance between his 3 sons in the ratio 1:3:6

Then, the money the first son got :

$= \tt \frac{1}{10} \: of \: 1200$

$=\tt \frac{1}{10} \times 1200$

$=\tt \frac{1 \times 120}{10}$

$= \tt \frac{1200}{10}$

$\color{plum} =\tt\$ \: 120$

▪︎Thus, the first son inherited $120.

Money the second son got :

$= \tt \frac{3}{10} \: of \: 1200$

$= \tt \frac{3}{10} \times 1200$

$=\tt \frac{3 \times 1200}{10}$

$= \tt \frac{3600}{10}$

$\color{plum} =\tt \$360$

▪︎Thus, the second son inherited $360.

Money the third son got :

$=\tt \frac{6}{10} \: of \: 1200$

$=\tt \frac{6}{10} \times 1200$

$= \tt \frac{6 \times 1200}{10}$

$= \tt \frac{7200}{10}$

$\color{plum} = \tt\$720$

▪︎Thus, the third son inherited $720.

We know that :

The largest share = $720

The smallest share = $120

Difference between the largest and smallest share :

$= \tt720 - 120$

$\color{hotpink}\tt = 600$

<h3> ●=> Therefore :</h3>

▪︎The difference between the largest and smallest share = 600

On a certain hot summer's day, 335 people used the public swimming pool. The daily prices are $1.25 for children and $2.00 fo

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).

We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c

We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25

By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25

Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25

Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -

$70.75

Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.

The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
