You can use a system of equations to answer this question.

1st:  2.20r + 3p = 700 is showing how to get the total cost.
2nd: r + p = 300 shows how many gallons were sold.

If we solve r + p = 300 for r, we can then solve the first equation in terms of r only.

r + p =300
p = 300 - r  Use this in place of p in the first equation.

2.20r + 3p = 700
2.2r + 3(300 - r) = 700
2.2r + 900 - 3r = 700
       -900            -900
2.2r - 3r = -200
<u>-0.8r </u>= <u>-200</u>
-0.8     -0.8
r = 250 gallons

There were 250 regular gallons sold and 50 premium gallons sold (300 - 250).

Which graph shows a negative rate of change for the interval 0 to 2 on the x-axis?
valentina_108 [34]

It seems that the four graphs are the same and they do not have a negative change rate in the interval 0 to 2 in the x-axis.

A negative change rate means that when x increases the value of the function (y) decreases; this is, the function is decreasing in the interval being estudied, which is the same that going downward.

So, you must look for in your graphs where the equation is going downward.

For example, in the graph attached, that happens in any interval from negative infitity to  1.5.

The vertex will help you to identify it.

Given that the graph goes downward from negative infinity to the vertex, any interval that includes that range will have negative change.

You must look for a parabola that opens upward and whose vertex is in x = 2.

What is the answer to the problem <br><br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x%20%7B3%7D%29%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%20x%5En" id="TexFo

Solve for x:
x^9 = n x

Subtract n x from both sides:
x^9 - n x = 0

Factor x and constant terms from the left hand side:
-x (n - x^8) = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:
x (n - x^8) = 0

Split into two equations:
x = 0 or n - x^8 = 0

Subtract n from both sides:
x = 0 or -x^8 = -n

Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 0 or x^8 = n

Taking 8^th roots gives n^(1/8) times the 8^th roots of unity:
Answer: x = 0 or x = -n^(1/8) or x = -i n^(1/8) or x = i n^(1/8) or x = n^(1/8) or x = -(-1)^(1/4) n^(1/8) or x = (-1)^(1/4) n^(1/8) or x = -(-1)^(3/4) n^(1/8) or x = (-1)^(3/4) n^(1/8)

Ber [7]

Answer:

(x + 7)(x + 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +10x + 21

21 = 7 * 3 and 10 = 7 +3

so the factors are

(x + 7)(x + 3).
