Answer:

a) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of eggs = 216

Maximum number each carton can hold = 12

Greatest number of egg carton required = total number of eggs/Maximum number each carton can hold

Greatest number of egg carton required = 216/12

= 18

The right answer is a) 18

If a polynomial has four terms, 3x3 5x 6x2 10, which factoring method can be considered? perfect-square trinomial difference of

Tems11 [23]

The factoring method which can be considered for such a cubic tetranomial expression is; factor by grouping sum of cubes.

<h3>What factoring method can be considered for the polynomial?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the order of the Polynomial is 3 and the polynomial is a tetranomial as it contains 4 terms.

On this note, since 3x³ is not a perfect cube, it follows that the best factorisation method for such a polynomial is; factor by grouping sum of cubes.

Find thhe remainder when 7^203 is divided by 4

Aleksandr [31]

Using the square-and-multiply approach, we have

$7^{203}=7\times(7^{101})^2$
$7^{101}=7\times(7^{50})^2$
$7^{50}=(7^{25})^2$
$7^{25}=7\times(7^{12})^2$
$7^{12}=(7^6)^2$
$7^6=(7^3)^2$
$7^3=7\times7^2$

and so, using the property that, if $a_1\equiv b_1\mod n$ and $a_2\equiv b_2\mod n$ , then $a_1a_2\equiv b_1b_2\mod n$ , we get

$7\equiv3\mod4$
$7^2\equiv9\equiv1\mod4$
$7^3\equiv7\times1\equiv7\equiv3\mod4$
$7^6\equiv9\equiv1\mod4$
$7^{12}\equiv1\mod4$
$7^{25}\equiv7\times1\equiv7\equiv3\mod4$
$7^{50}\equiv9\equiv1\mod4$
$7^{101}\equiv7\times1\equiv7\equiv3\mod4$
$7^{203}\equiv7\times9\equiv3\times1\equiv3\mod4$

What’s an equation that passes through the ordered pair (3,7)and has a slope of -4

natita [175]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

According to the statement data we have:

$m = -4\\(x, y) :( 3,7)$

Then, the equation is of the form:

$y = -4x + b$

We substitute the given point and find "b":

$7 = -4 (3) + b\\7 = -12 + b\\7 + 12 = b\\b = 19$

Finally, the equation is of the form:

$y = -4x + 19$

Answer:

$y = -4x + 19$

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 46. Find the

Citrus2011 [14]

Let the three consecutive number be x,x+1 and x+2.

It is given sum of three consecutive numbers is 46.

So,x+x+1+x+2=46

3x+3=46.

Subtracting 3 both sides

3x=46-3

3x=43.

x= $\frac{43}{3}.$

Since $\frac{43}{3}.$ is not an integer there is no true answer to this problem.
