Answer:

Let the number they chose be 'x'.

Result of Jane = $3x -2$

Result of Elliot = $2x+3$

Given that,

The product of their result = 110

$or, (3x-2)(2x+3) = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +9x-4x-6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6 = 110\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 6-110 = 0\\\\or, 6x^{2} +5x - 116 = 0\\or, 6x^{2} +29x - 24x - 116 = 0\\or, x (6x +29) -4(6x+29) = 0\\or, (x-4)(6x+29) = 0\\i.e. x=4 or x=\frac{-29}{6} \\So,~ the ~number ~they~ chose~was ~either ~4 ~or ~\frac{-29}{6}$

The cost (in dollars) in making b bracelets is represented by 4+5b. The cost (in dollars) of making b necklaces is represented b

ddd [48]

Answer:

$P(b)=3b+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost (in dollars) in making b bracelets is represented is

$B(b)=4+5b$

The cost (in dollars) of making b necklaces is

$N(b)=8b+6$

To find how much more it will cost to make b necklaces than b bracelets, we find the difference,

$P(b)=N(b)-B(b)$

$P(b)=8b+6-(4+5b)$

$P(b)=8b+6-4-5b$

$P(b)=3b+2$

This is a polynomial in descending powers of b, hence it is in standard form;

Write the standard equation of the ellipse with center at the origin, and vertices at (-4,0), (4,0), (0, -3), and (0,3).

levacccp [35]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(a) x^2/16 +y^2/9 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The form for the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin is ...

(x/(semi-x-axis))^2 +(y/(semi-y-axis))^2 = 1

The vertex values tell you the semi-x-axis is 4 units, and the semi-y-axis is 3 units. Then you have ...

(x/4)^2 +(y/3)^2 = 1

x^2/16 +y^2/9 = 1

In case you don't remember that form, you can try any of the points in the equations. The equation that works will quickly become apparent.

F(x)=x² what is g(x)

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

C) $g(x) = -x^2 - 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function has been reflected in the x-axis, so -f(x)

then translated by 3 units down, so -f(x) - 3

Therefore, $g(x) = -x^2 - 3$
