Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

since he said he counted 34 legs.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34. you should first remove 2 from 34 that would give you 32. 32 divided by 4 which is the number of legs a single pig has is 8, 8 plus 2 divided by two which is the number of legs a single chicken has is 1 so I plus 8 is 9, but they said he has 10 animals, then you remove 4 again reducing the pig side to 28 and increasing the chicken size to 6. 28 divide by 4 is 7, and 6 divided by 2 is 3, so 3 plus 7 is 10, and ten is the number of animals, so the number of chicken is 3.

A projectile is fired at 571 mi hr. How fast is that in meters per second to the nearest whole value? Use the conversion factor
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Consider this: factors that are the same that are in the numerator and denominator of a fraction cancel out.

e.g. 20/30 = [2(10)]/[3(10)] = 2/3      This is because the 10 present in the numerator exactly equals the 10 present in the denominator.

We can use the above principle for these types of problems!

If the projectile is fired at 422 mi/hr, and we want to convert this speed into m/s, we just need to go through the following process:

422 mi/hr * 1610m/1mi * 1hr/60min * 1min/60s = 189 m/s

Nick can do a certain job in 3 hours less than it takes bonnie to do the same job. If they complete the job together in 9 hours,
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Nick does the job alone to be x - 3 hours

Hence, in 1 hour, Nick has done 1/x - 3

Together they complete the job in 9 hours

Hence, let's represent the job as 1

9/x + 9/x - 3 = 1

Multiply through by (x)(x-3)

9(x- 3) + 9(x) = 1

9x - 27 + 9x = (x)(x-3)

-27 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x +27 = 0

(x-2) is a factor of x^2-3x^2+kx+14. The value of k is?​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your polynomial is

x^2 - 3x^2 + kx + 14

If x - a is a factor of this polynomial, then a is a root.

Use synthetic division to divide (x - 2) into x^2 - 3x^2 + kx + 14:

 2      /      1     -3     k     14

                        2     -2    2k - 4

         -------------------------------------

               1        -1    (k - 2)   2k - 10

If 2 is a root (if x - 2 is a factor), then the remainder must be zero.

Setting 2k - 10 = to zero, we get k = 5.

The value of k is 5 and the polynomial is x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x + 14
