a. The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x represent the number of medium marbles Amy has. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of small marbles she has.

Medium marbles = x

Let,

Small marbles = y

According to given statement;

She has five times as many small marbles as medium marbles.

y = 5x Eqn 1

The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of large marbles she has.

Let,

Large marbles = z

The number of large marbles is two more than three times the number of medium marbles.

z = 3x+2 Eqn 2

The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. If Amy has a total of 560 marbles, how many of each size does she have?

x+y+z= 560 Eqn 3

Putting value of y and z from Eqn 1 and 2 in Eqn 3

$x+(5x)+(3x+2)=560\\x+5x+3x+2=560\\9x=560-2\\9x=558$

Dividing both sides by 9

$\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{558}{9}\\x=62$

Putting x=62 in Eqn 1

$y=5(62)\\y=310$

Putting x=62 in Eqn 2

$z=3(62)+2\\z=186+2\\z=188$

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Answer:

$x^6+3x^3+3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the pascal triangle to find the coefficients of the expasion of the cube. It holds that

$(x^2 + \dfrac{1}{x})^3=(x^2)^3+3(x^2)^2\dfrac{1}{x}+3x^2(\dfrac{1}{x})^2+(\dfrac{1}{x})^3\\\\=x^6+3x^4\dfrac{1}{x}+3x^2\dfrac{1}{x^2}+\dfrac{1}{x^3}\\\\=x^6+3x^3+3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}$

Answer:

1. 64

2. 72 square feet

3. 31.5 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one use the equation A=bh.

Plug in your values: A=12.8*5.

Solve: A=64

For the second one multiply 8*3 which gives you 24. Next multiply that by 3 to give you 72 square feet.

For the third one multiply 9 by 3.5 to get 31.5 square feet.
