Answer:

there are 12 sections

here is how to do it:

2 8

_ = _

3 x

so you cross multiply

8 x 3 = 2x

24=2x

12=x

Write a polynomial function of least degree with rational coefficients so that P(x)=0 has the given roots.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

If P(x) has the roots -11 and 6, then its multipliers can be written as

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x)=(x+11)(x-6)

P(x)=x2-6x+11x-66

P(x) = x2+5x-66

Jack broke apart 5x216 as (5x200)+(5x16) to multiply mentally. What strategy did Jack use?

Sveta_85 [38]

For this case we have the following multiplication:

$5 * 216$

We can rewrite this multiplication in the following way:

$5 * (200 + 16)$

From here, we apply the distributive property.

We have then:

$(5 * 200) + (5 * 16)$

Therefore, Jack's strategy is:

Write the number in an expanded form and then apply the distributive property.

Answer:

Jack's strategy is:

Write the number in an expanded form and then apply the distributive property.

7 is one tenth of what number

Sloan [31]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

70

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Assume that the number we are looking for is x

one tenth is interpreted into $\frac{1}{10}$

Now, we know that one tenth of the number is 7, this means that:

$\frac{1}{10}$ * x = 7

Solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10, we get:

$\frac{1}{10}$ * x * 10 = 7 * 10

x = 70

Hope this helps :)

Demand for Tablet Computers The quantity demanded per month, x, of a certain make of tablet computer is related to the average u

soldier1979 [14.2K]

$x = f ( p ) = \frac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } } \\\\ \qquad { p ( t ) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \quad ( 0 \leq t \leq 60 ) }$

Answer:

12.0 tablet computers/month

Step-by-step explanation:

The average price of the tablet 25 months from now will be:

$p ( 25) = \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { 25 } } + 200 \\= \dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \times 5 } + 200\\\\=\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 5 } { 8 } } + 200\\p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13}$

Next, we determine the rate at which the quantity demanded changes with respect to time.

Using Chain Rule (and a calculator)

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \dfrac{dx}{dp}\dfrac{dp}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dp}= \dfrac{d}{dp}\left[{ \dfrac { 100 } { 9 } \sqrt { 810,000 - p ^ { 2 } } }\right] =-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}$

$\dfrac{dp}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac { 400 } { 1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } } + 200 \right]=-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}p(810,000-p^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt { t } \right]^{-2}t^{-1/2}\right]$

Recall that at t=25, $p(25)=\dfrac { 5800 } {13} \approx 446.15$

Therefore:

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}(25)= \left[-\dfrac{100}{9}\times 446.15(810,000-446.15^2)^{-1/2}\right]\left[-25\left[1 + \dfrac { 1 } { 8 } \sqrt {25} \right]^{-2}25^{-1/2}\right]\\=12.009$

The quantity demanded per month of the tablet computers will be changing at a rate of 12 tablet computers/month correct to 1 decimal place.
