Answer:
the number is 31.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
1/2x-19.7=-4.1
Adding 19.7 on both sides:
1/2x-19.7 + 19.7=-4.1 + 19.7
1/2x = 15.6
Multiplying both sides by 2:
x = 15.6 * 2
x = 31.2
So the number is 31.2

If x=-5 is a zero, then the first factor of the polynomial would be (x + 5 )
To find the other two factors we can divide the polynomial by the expression (x+5). 
Using synthetic division, we have:
-5 I 4 15 -24 5 (Coefficients of the dividend)
 I -20 25 -5 (Multiplying each coefficient by the results of the substraction and adding)
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 4 -5 1 0 (Coefficients of the quotient)
The result of the division is 4x^2 - 5x + 1. Factoring it, we have:
4x^2 - 4x -x + 1 (Separating -5x into -x and -4x)
4x (x - 1) - (x -1) (Factoring each pair of terms)
(x-1)(4x-1) (Factoring using the common factor)
So the answer would be: 
(x + 5 )(x-1)(4x-1)
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: You need to wait at least 6.4 hours to eat the ribs.
t ≥ 6.4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial temperature is 40°F, and it increases by 25% each hour.
This means that during hour 0 the temperature is 40° F
after the first hour, at h = 1h we have an increase of 25%, this means that the new temperature is:
T = 40° F + 0.25*40° F = 1.25*40° F
after another hour we have another increase of 25%, the temperature now is:
T = (1.25*40° F) + 0.25*(1.25*40° F) = (40° F)*(1.25)^2
Now, we can model the temperature at the hour h as:
T(h) = (40°f)*1.25^h
now we want to find the number of hours needed to get the temperature equal to 165°F. which is the minimum temperature that the ribs need to reach in order to be safe to eaten.
So we have:
(40°f)*1.25^h = 165° F
1.25^h = 165/40 = 4.125
h = ln(4.125)/ln(1.25)  = 6.4 hours.
then the inequality is:
t ≥ 6.4 hours.

Explanation:
The Law of Sines is your friend, as is the Pythagorean theorem.
Label the unmarked slanted segments "a" and "b" with "b" being the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and "a" being the common segment between the 45° and 60° angles.
Then we have from the Pythagorean theorem ...
   b² = 4² +(2√2)² = 24
   b = √24
From the Law of Sines, we know that ...
   b/sin(60°) = a/sin(θ)
   y/sin(45°) = a/sin(φ)
Solving the first of these equations for "a" and the second for "y", we get ...
   a = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)
and ...
   y = a·sin(45°)/sin(φ)
Substituting for "a" into the second equation, we get ...
   y = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)·sin(45°)/sin(φ) = (b·sin(45°)/sin(60°))·sin(θ)/sin(φ)
So, we need to find the value of the coefficient ...
   b·sin(45°)/sin(60°) = (√24·(√2)/2)/((√3)/2)
   = √(24·2/3) = √16 = 4
and that completes the development:
   y = 4·sin(θ)/sin(φ)
