It is given that batteries come in a packs of 4. It means in each pack there are 4 batteries.
Joe used 58 batteries . So to find the total number of packets of batteries joe has to open is
Number of batteries used / Total number of batteries in each packet
= 58 / 4
= 14.5
The number of battery can not be in decimal. So we will round the answer to integer. If we round it to 14 it means 14 packets. But in 14 packets there are 14*4 = 56 batteries .
But we know that Joe used 58 batteries. So we will round the final answer to 15.
It means Joe has to open 15 packets of batteries.
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... " This implies that you were given several answer choices. If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.
I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division. See below:
f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation. Thanks.
Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35: plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7. Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case. If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them: 5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.
Provided that you have copied down the function
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35 properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly. Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.
By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2. There is another root.
Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:
___________________________
7/2 / 6 -21 -4 24 -35
21 0 -14 35
----------- ------------------------------
6 0 -4 10 0
Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial. Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
