Answer:

$10x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$3(x+4)+7x$

step 1

Apply distributive property

$3(x+4)+7x=3(x)+3(4)+7x$

$3(x)+3(4)+7x=3x+12+7x$

step 2

Combine like term

$3x+12+7x=(3x+7x)+12$

$(3x+7x)+12=10x+12$

Answer:

Zeroes : 1, 4 and -5.

Potential roots: $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$x^3-21x=-20$

It can be written as

$x^3+0x^2-21x+20=0$

Splitting the middle terms, we get

$x^3-x^2+x^2-x-20x+20=0$

$x^2(x-1)+x(x-1)-20(x-1)=0$

$(x-1)(x^2+x-20)=0$

Splitting the middle terms, we get

$(x-1)(x^2+5x-4x-20)=0$

$(x-1)(x(x+5)-4(x+5))=0$

$(x-1)(x+5)(x-4)=0$

Using zero product property, we get

$x-1=0\Rightarrow x=1$

$x-4=0\Rightarrow x=4$

$x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5$

Therefore, the zeroes of the equation are 1, 4 and -5.

According to rational root theorem, the potential root of the polynomial are

$x=\dfrac{\text{Factor of constant}}{\text{Factor of leading coefficient}}$

Constant = 20

Factors of constant ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20.

Leading coefficient= 1

Factors of leading coefficient ±1.

Therefore, the potential root of the polynomial are $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .

If i have a forest composed of 25 species of trees, each with a known abundances, how many events are there in the sample space

Vsevolod [243]

There are 25 species of trees, each with a known abundances. The question is how many possible ways to randomly select one tree there are.
We should calculate the number of combinations. Combinations, because we select item/s from a collection. In this case, when we select only one item, the combination is also a permutation. From set of n objects we select r. In our case: n=25, r=1.
The equation is: n!/r!(n-r)!= 25!/1!*24!=25*24!/24!=25
There are 25 different outcomes (events).
