Answer:

a = 2/27

b = 13/27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is presented as follows;

f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + x + 2/3

Given that x + 3 is a factor, we have;

f(-3) = 0 = a·(-3)³ + b·(-3)² - 3 +2/3 = 0

-27·a + 9·b - 3 + 2/3 = 0

-27·a + 9·b = 7/3........(1)

Also we have

(a·x³ + b·x² + x + 2/3) ÷ (x + 2) the remainder = 5

Therefore;

a·(-2)³ + b·(-2)² + (-2) + 2/3 = 5

-8·a + 4·b - 2 + 2/3 = 5

-8·a + 4·b = 2 - 2/3 = 4/3........(2)

Multiplying equation (1) by 4/9 and subtracting it from equation (2), we have;

-8·a + 4·b - 4/9×(-27·a + 9·b) = 4/3 - 4/9 × 7/3

-8·a + 12·a = 8/27

4·a = 8/27

a = 2/27 ≈ 0.0741

imputing the a value in equation (1) gives;

-27×2/27 + 9·b = 7/3

-2 + 9·b = 7/3

9·b = 7/3 + 2 = 13/3

b = 13/27 ≈ 0.481.

When squaring fractions, both the numerator and the denominator are squared:

12. (4/5)² = 16/25

13. (-5/12)² = 25/144

14. (13/6)² = 169/36

Alexa pays 7/20 of a dollar for each minute she uses her pay-as-you-go phone for a call, and 2/5 of a dollar for each minute of
9966 [12]

Answer:

  • The system of equations is x + y = 85 and 7/20x+2/5y=31
  • To eliminate the x-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by 20 and multiply the other equation by -7.
  • B-She used 60 minutes for calling and 25 minutes for data.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always a good idea to start by defining variables in such a problem. Here, we can let x represent the number of calling minutes, and y represent the number of data minutes. The the total number of minutes used is ...

  x + y = 85

The total of charges is the sum of the products of charge per minute and minutes used:

  7/20x + 2/5y = 31.00

We can eliminate the x-variable in these equations by multiplying the first by -7 and the second by 20, then adding the result.

  -7(x +y) +20(7/20x +2/5y) = -7(85) +20(31)

  -7x -7y +7x +8y = -595 +620 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = 25 . . . . . . . . simplify

Then the value of x is

  x = 85 -y = 85 -25

  x = 60
