Answer:

Example:           <em>- 2x³ + 10x²</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

1.<em>A cubic function</em> is a polynomial of degree 3 in one variable. This means that the highest exponent of the variable is 3: <em>x³</em>

2. <em>Leading coefficient</em> is the coefficient of the term with the highest exponent: in <em>ax³</em> <em>the leading coefficient is a</em>.

3. General form of a <em>cubic function</em>: ax³ + bx² + cx + d, where a ≠ 0

4. <em>Zeros</em> of a polynomial function are the values of x for which the polynomial values zero: <em>ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0</em>

<em />

5. When the polinomial is factored you can tell easily which the zeros are.

This is how a factored cubic function looks: a(x - x₁)(x - x₂)(x - x₃), where <em>a is the leading coefficient, and x₁, x₂, and x₃ are the three zeroes of the function</em>.

With that, you can write a cubic function with the restrictions stated:

  • l<em>eading coefficien of - 2</em>: a = - 2
  • <em>one positive zero</em>: x₁ = 5
  • for facility, make the other zeros equal to zero, x₂ = 0, and x₃ = 0
  • name the function f(x)

         result: f(x) = - 2( x -5)(x - 0)(x -0) = -2(x - 5)(x)(x)

  • Expand the expression using distributive property:

         - 2x³ + 10x²

Billy has a gallon of paint. He us going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 14 inches long and 4cm deep.
erica [24]

Answer:

Tray will overflow with 10.53\ \text{inch}^3 of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions the tray is 10 inch by 14 inch by 4 cm

1\ \text{cm}=\dfrac{1}{2.54}\ \text{inch}

4\ \text{cm}=\dfrac{4}{2.54}\ \text{inch}

Volume the tray can hold is

10\times 14\times \dfrac{4}{2.54}\ \text{in}^3

1\ \text{inch}^3=\dfrac{1}{231}\ \text{gallon}

The volume of paint Billy has is 1\ \text{gallon}

Difference in the volume of paint and volume of tray in cubic inches is

\left(1-\dfrac{10\times14\times\dfrac{4}{2.54}}{231}\right)231=10.53\ \text{inch}^3

The tray will overflow with 10.53\ \text{inch}^3 of paint.

4x + 5y = 12 and 3x + 4y = 9.25 . Solve for systems of equations
masha68 [24]

Answer:

y=1

x=7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 12

3x + 4y = 9.25

4x + 5y = 12

12x + 16y =37

-12x -15 y =-36

12x + 16y =37

y=1

x=7/4
