Answer:

There are 35 adult dogs and 20 puppies

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Represent the puppies with P and the Adult dogs with A</em>

Given

A : P = 7 : 4

Dogs = 55

Required

Determine A and P

First, we need to sum the ratios;

Total = A + P

Total = 7 + 4

Total = 11

Adult Dogs is then calculated as follows;

A = \frac{A\ Ratio}{Total} * Dogs

A = \frac{7}{11} * 55

A = \frac{385}{11}

A = 35

Puppies is calculated by subtracting the number of adult dogs from the total

P = Dogs - Adult\ Dogs

P = 55 - 35

P = 20

<em>Hence;</em>

<em>There are 35 adult dogs and 20 puppies</em>

Find an equation for a quartic function containing the following points: (2, 60), (-3, 0), (-1, 0), (4, 0), (1, 0).
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

f(x) = -2(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x - 1)  or

f(x) = -2x^4 + 2x^3 + 26x^2 - 2x  -24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the function are  at (-3, 0), (-1, 0), (4, 0), (1, 0) so in factor form the function is:

a(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x - 1)      where a is some constant.

We find a by substituting the point (2, 60)

60 = a(2+3)(2+1)(2-4)(2-1)

-30a = 60

a = -2.

So the function is -2(x + 3)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x - 1) .

Write an equation that models this situation.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the ideal way to put the equation would be x= 6 x 8 but since that is not an option B is the answer. the keyword is "each" that allows you to know that you will be multiplying those to numbers.

so the only one that allows you to multiply 6 and 8 is B when you multiply 6 to the other side.
