Answer:

sand = 3450 pounds

3/4 inch stones =6750 pounds

1 inch stones =4800 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mixture composition is :

45% three-quarter inch stones

32% inch stones and

sand for balance

The percent here is by mass of material used.

Weight of mixture is 15,000 pounds before oil addition.

Use the percent by weight for the two types of stones and calculate real values in pounds

Formula to apply is:

Mass percent = (mass of a material/ total mass of mixture) * 100

For 3/4 inch stones it will be:

0.45= \frac{x}{15000} *100\\\\0.45=\frac{x}{150} \\0.45*150=x\\x=6750

The 3/4 inch stones weigh 6750 pounds

The 1 inch stones will be

32/100 * 15000 =4800

The 1 inch stones weigh = 4800 pounds

Total for the two items : 4800+6750 =11550 pounds

The sand used weighs : 15000 - 11550 = 3450 pounds

Answer:

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10 is the function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1 and with the zeros -1, 5, and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10

As the highest power of the x-variable is 3 with the leading coefficients of 1.

  • So, it is clear that the polynomial function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1.

solving to get the zeros

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10

0=x^3-6x^2+3x+10              ∵  f(x)=0

as

Factor\:x^3-6x^2+3x+10\::\:\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0

so

\left(x+1\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x-5\right)=0    

Using the zero factor principle

if  ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

x+1=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-2=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-5=0

x=-1,\:x=2,\:x=5

Therefore, the zeros of the function are:

x=-1,\:x=2,\:x=5

f\left(x\right)=x^3-6x^2+3x+10 is the function of the least degree has the real coefficients and the leading coefficients of 1 and with the zeros -1, 5, and 2.

Therefore, the last option is true.

How do you find percent of a number mentally
olga55 [171]
It isn't easy really but you can always divide the number out. For example 50% of 200 is 100 by dividing 200 by 2 or 25% of 100 is 25 by dividing 100 by 4 since 25% is equivalent to 1/4

angelo rode his bike around a bike trail that was 1/4 of a mile long.he rode his bike around thetrail 8 times.Angelo says he rod
forsale [732]
Hi there!

From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.

- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.

From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.

However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!

And the answer is... they're both correct!

Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
