Answer:

40 jewelry sets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: assign variables

x = additional # of sets

total # of sets = 20 + x

price = 600 - 10x

Step 2: make an equation

f(x) = (20 + x)(600 - 10x)

Step 3: find x intercepts

0 = (20 + x)(600 - 10x)

x = -20,  x=60

Step 4: find the midpoint/average of x intercepts

(60 - 20) / 2 = 20

Step 5: plug it into the "total # of sets" equation

20 + 20 = 40

40 jewelry sets!

A paper clip is just over 4 cm long. How many paper clips like this can be made from a straight piece of wire 10 meters long?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

25 Paper Clips

Step-by-step explanation:

100cm is equal to 1 meter. So to find the answer you would need to take the whole of the centimeter (100) and divide that by the paper clips length (4).

100/4 = 25

So, to form a straight line 10 meters long you would need 25 paper clips each 4cm long.

One of the zeros of the polynomial function is 5.
maks197457 [2]
The last term  is -100 so  its either a or d.
Try a:-

(x^2 - 25)(x-2)(x - 2)

= x^2 - 25 (x^2 - 4x + 4)

= x^2 + 4x^3 + 4x^2 - 25x^2 + 100x - 100
= x^4 + 4x^3 - 21x^2 + 100x - 100   

Its a.
