Answer=7:13

Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight

So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...

Kenny's Weight*6/7=7

divide both sides by 6/7

Kenny Weight=6

So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6

The boys total weights would be...

7+6=13

So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:

7:13

Find a three digit number. The tens digit is 3 time the hundreds digit. The sum of the digits is 15. If you reverse the digits,

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

number = 267

Step-by-step explanation:

i am a 3 digit number divisible by 3.

100a + 10b + c

my tens digit is 3 times as great as my hundreds digit

b = 3a, from this we know a = 1, 2, 3, then b = 3, 6, 9

and the sum of my digits is 15.

a + b + c = 15

if you reverse my digits i am divisible by 6 and 3

100c + 10b + a

this is a logic problem, an equation won't help us here

From the given information b = 3a, and the sum of the 3 digits = 15, we have:

1 3 ___; three single digits can't add up to 15

2 6 _7_; this has to be the number

3 9 _3_; reverse number is not different

Check for division by 3 and 6

267/3 = 89

762/6 = 127

267 is the number

2x^3-x^2+x-2 factorize

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

$(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorize:

$f(x)=2x^3-x^2+x-2$

Factor Theorem

If f(a) = 0 for a polynomial then (x - a) is a factor of the polynomial f(x).

Substitute x = 1 into the function:

$\implies f(1)=2(1)^3-1^2+1-2=0$

Therefore, (x - 1) is a factor.

As the polynomial is cubic:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(ax^2+bx+c)$

Expanding the brackets:

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx-ax^2-bx-c$

$\implies f(x)=ax^3+(b-a)x^2+(c-b)x-c$

Comparing coefficients with the original polynomial:

$\implies ax^3=2x^3 \implies a=2$

$\implies (b-a)x^2=-x^2 \implies b-2=-1 \implies b=1$

$\implies -c=-2 \implies c=2$

Therefore:

$\implies f(x)=(x-1)(2x^2+x+2)$

Cannot be factored any further.
