$63.54 is the price after the discount and tax
Answer:
In bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
6/6 = 9/a
So a = 9.
6/c = a/4.5
6/c = 9/4.5 = 2
So c = 3.
By similar triangles:
d/5 = 6/ (6+6+3)
d/5 = 6/15 = 2/5
So d = 2.
Also by similar triangles
b/5 = 12/15 = 4/5
So b = 4.
Let
then you will have a^2-12a+36=0 and then you can just factor to find a
Answer: x = {-1, -3, 2}
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0
Use the rational root theorem to find the possible roots: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6
Use Long division, Synthetic division, or plug them into the equation to see which root(s) work <em>(result in a remainder of zero)</em>.
I will use Synthetic division. Let's try x = 1
1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ 1 3 -2 </u>
1 3 -2 -8 ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root
Let's try x = -1
- 1 | 1 2 -5 -6
|<u> ↓ -1 -1 6 </u>
1 1 -6 0 ← remainder = 0 so x = -1 is a root!
The coefficients of the reduced polynomial are: 1, 1, -6 --> x² + x - 6
Factor: x² + x - 6
(x + 3)(x - 2)
Set those factors equal to zero to solve for x:
x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3
x - 2 = 0 --> x = 2
Using Synthetic Division and Factoring the reduced polynomial, we found
x = -1, -3, and 2
No. If you do 6+1/3 and 24+1/3 it is not equal.
