Let the number of chemistry books be x and the number of calculus books be y
total number of books in each case is:
x+y=24
x=24-y.....i

Weight of each case:
2707.2/20
=135.36
thus
4.2x+6.0y=135.36..ii substituting i in ii
4.2(24-y)+6y=135.36
100.8-4.2y+6y=135.36
hence
1.8y=34.56
y=19.2
hence
x=24-19.2
x=4.8
thus the number of chemistry books was 4.8*20=96 number of calculus was
19.2*20
=384 books

Which is the polynomial function of lowest degree with rational real coefficients, a leading coefficient of 3 and roots StartRoo
anastassius [24]

Answer:

a) f(x)=3x^{3}-6x^{2}-15x+30

Step-by-step explanation:

1) In this question we've been given "a", the leading coefficient. and two roots:

x_{1}=\sqrt{5}\:x_{2}=2

2) There's a theorem, called the Irrational Theorem Root that states:

If one root is in this form x'=\sqrt{a}+b  then its conjugate x''=\sqrt{a}-b. is also a root of this polynomial.

Therefore

x_3=-\sqrt{5}

3) So, applying this Theorem we can rewrite the equation, by factoring. Remembering that x is the root. Since the question wants it in this expanded form then:

f(x)=3(x-\sqrt{5})(x+\sqrt{5})(x-2)\Rightarrow 3x^{3}-6x^{2}-15x+30

The roosevelt middle school band is having a fundraiser. They sold a total of 300 hotdogs and hamburgers. Hot dogs were sold for
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

180 hamburgers

120 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold

We proceed as follows;

Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.

We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;

x + y = 300 ..........(I)

Now let’s look at the prices.

x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs

y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.

Adding both to give total, we have ;

2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)

This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y

Now let’s insert this in the second equation;

2(300-y) + 3y = 780

600-2y + 3y = 780

y = 780-600 = 180

Recall; x + y = 300

x = 300 -y

x = 300-180 = 120
