Answer:

\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{288}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\star{ \text{ \: Given \:  : }}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{Total \: number \: of \: pens \:  =  \: 720}}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{Percentage \: of \: pens \: that \: are \: blue \: in \: colour \:  : 40\% \: }}

\star{ \text{ \: To \: find \:   \sf: Total \: number \: of \: blue \: pens}}

\mathfrak{Let's \: solve} :

\mapsto{ \sf{ \:40 \: \% \: of \: 720}}

\text{Step \: 1 \:  : } Convert percentage into fraction.

To convert the percent into a fraction, divide it by 100 and remove the % symbol.

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{40}{100}  \times 720}}

\text{Step \: 2 \:  : } Multiply

To multiply one fraction by another, multiply the numerators for the numerator , and multiply the denominators for its denominator and reduce the fraction obtained after multiplication into lowest term.

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{40 \times 720}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{28800}{100} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{ \frac{288 \cancel{00}  }{1 \cancel{00}} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{288}}

There are 288 blue pens in the box.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

How do you write a polynomial function for this graph?
expeople1 [14]

first off, let's notice the graph touches the x-axis at -1 and 3, namely, those are the zeros/solutions/roots of the polynomial and therefore, the factors come from those points.

now, at -1, the graph doesn't cross the x-axis, instead it <u>simply bounces off</u> of it, that means the zero of x = -1, has an even multiplicity, could be 4 or 2 or 6, but let's go with 2.

at x = 3, the graph does cross the x-axis, meaning it has an odd multiplicity, could be 3 or 1, or 7 or 9, but let's use 1.


\bf \begin{cases} x=-1\implies &x+1=0\\ x=3\implies &x-3=0 \end{cases}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{even multiplicity}}{(x+1)^2}\qquad \stackrel{\textit{odd multiplicity}}{(x-3)^1}=\stackrel{y}{0} \\\\\\ (x^2+2x+1)(x-3)=y\implies x^3+2x^2+x-3x^2-6x-3=y \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill x^3-x^2-5x-3=y~\hfill
