Answer:
p(x) = (5x - 1) (x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I apologize if I couldn't answer correctly, the question was a bit hard to understand because of the formatting.
Also I didn't see my answer in the list of answer choices but here it is:
if the polynomial has zeros at 0.2 and -3 the equation would have to be:
p(x)=(x-0.2)(x+3)
This is because plugging either of those numbers into the polynomial would cause it to equal 0.
(x-0.2) can be simplified by multiplying everything in the parenthesis by 5, getting rid of all of the decimals, making the final answer:
p(x) = (5x - 1) (x + 3)
Answer:
17. See below
18. 750
Step-by-step explanation:
17. Since the lollipops are being sold at the same price, 50 cents, for each one sold, they make a constant amount of money. For each increase in lollipops sold, there is a constant increase in money made, and thus the situation is a linear function.
18. To solve this equation, let's say y is the money made at the convention in dollars and x is the number of lollipops sold. If the principal gave them 125 dollars before they sold any lollipops (0 lollipops sold), then 125 is the y-intercept of the function, and in the equation y=mx+b, b=125. If each lollipop costs 50 cents (half of a dollar), then for each lollipop, x, sold, .5 dollars are made and are added to the profit, y. Thus, .5 dollars is the slope. The equation then becomes:

Now, if they need 500 dollars, y is thus equal to 500 dollars. Solving the equation:






Thus, 750 lollipops must be sold.
