Let X = science homework.
Then math homework would be 3x ( three times as long).
Now you have math plus science = 64 minutes:
x + 3x = 64
Combine like terms:
4x = 64
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 64 / 4
x = 16
He spent 16 minutes on science and 48 minutes on math.
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
the first sequence starts
4 12 (3*4) 36 (3*12) 108 (3*36) ...
the second sequence starts
20 28 (8+20) 36 (8+28) 44 (8+36) ...
so, just by writing down a few elements you can see it already.
I knew it already before that just by thinking "the first sequence has only numbers that can be divided by 3. what is the first number of the second sequence that can be also divided by 3 ? oh, yeah, 36 !"
The right, because your going forward not backwards
I'm assuming that there is another root which should be -SQRT(11)
f(x) = x(x-4)(x+SQRT(11))(x-SQRT(11)
Then
f(x) = x^4 -4x^3 - 11x^2 +44x
