Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- Q(s) = -4s^3 + 7s^2 - 24;
- s = -4 and 1
<u>Verifying zeroes</u>
Q(-4) =
- -4(-4)^3 + 7(-4)^2 - 24 =
- 256 + 112 - 24 =
- 344
- Incorrect as 344 ≠ 0
Q(1) =
- -4(1)^3 + 7(1)^2 - 24 =
- -12 + 7 - 24 =
- -29
- Incorrect as -29 ≠ 0
Answer:
12 and 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the numbers using x and y. Then y - x = 16. (y is the larger one.)
Then 3y = 7x, and y = (7/3)x.
Substituting (7/3)x for y in y - x = 16, we get:
(7/3)x - x = 16.
Eliminate the fraction by multiplying all three terms by 3:
7x - 3x = 48, or 4x = 48, yielding x = 12. Then y = (7/3)(12) = 28.
