<span>If you would like to know how many of each did Jan buy, you can calculate this using the following two equations:

b ... the number of books
m ... the number of magazines

$16 = b * $3 + m * $2.50 ... 16 = 3 * b + 2.50 * m
b + m = 6 ... b = 6 - m
__________________
</span>16 = 3 * b + 2.50 * m

<span>16 = 3 * (6 - m) + 2.50 * m</span>

16 = 3 * 6 - 3 * m + 2.50 * m

16 - 18 = - 3 * m + 2.50 * m

- 2 = - 0.50 * m     /0.50

m = 2 / 0.50

m = 4 magazines 

<span>b = 6 - m = 6 - 4 = 2 books</span>

Result: Jan bought 4 magazines and 2 books.

The sum of two positive integers, x and y, is not more than 40. The difference of the two integers is at least 20. Chancee choos
kvasek [131]

Answer:

No, Chancee mixed up the variables, the correct solution is that x must be between 20 and 40 and y must be between 0 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, x and y are positive integers,

Such that, their sum is not more than 40,  

i.e. x + y ≤ 40 where x, y ≥ 0,

⇒ y ≤ 40 - x                 ...............(1),

Their difference is at least 20,

i.e. x - y ≥ 20

-y ≥ 20 - x

⇒ y ≤ x - 20   ............(2),

Graphing y ≤ 40 - x :

Related equation of inequality (1),

y = 40 - x

if x = 0, y = 40,

if y = 0, 0 = 40 - x ⇒ x = 40,

'≤' represents a solid line,

Join the points (0, 40) and (40, 0) by solid line.

Graphing y ≤ x - 20:

Related equation of inequality (1),

y = x - 20,

if x = 0, y = -20,

if y = 0, 0 = x - 20 ⇒ x = 20,

'≤' represents a solid line,

Join the points (0, -20) and (20, 0) by solid line.

By graphing we obtained a feasible region that is the solution of the system of inequalities (1) and (2) ( shown below ),

In which,

20 ≤ x ≤ 40 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 30

Hence, Chancee did not find the correct solution.

Find all the zeros of the function <br> g(x)=x^3-4x^2-x+22
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − x + 22

This is a cubic equation, so it must have either 1 or 3 real roots.

Using rational root theorem, we can check if any of those real roots are rational.  Possible rational roots are ±1, ±2, ±11, and ±22.

g(-1) = 18

g(1) = 18

g(-2) = 0

g(2) = 12

g(-11) = 1782

g(11) = 858

g(-22) = -12540

g(22) = 8712

We know -2 is a root.  The other two roots are irrational.  To find them, we must find the other factor of g(x).  We can do this using long division, or we can factor using grouping.

g(x) = x³ − 4x² − 12x + 11x + 22

g(x) = x (x² − 4x − 12) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = x (x − 6) (x + 2) + 11 (x + 2)

g(x) = (x (x − 6) + 11) (x + 2)

g(x) = (x² − 6x + 11) (x + 2)

x² − 6x + 11 = 0

Quadratic formula:

x = [ 6 ± √(36 − 4(1)(11)) ] / 2

x = (6 ± 2i√8) / 2

x = 3 ± i√8

The three roots are x = -2, x = 3 − i√8, and x = 3 + i√8.
