Answer:

190%

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.56 is close to nearly 2x the value of $0.87

You can start by multiplying $0.87 by 2 to get $1.74

Now put $1.56 / $1.74

This gets you 0.89655172

By rounding this, you can get to 0.90

Move the decimal places two spots over to get a percentage = 90%

Since the eggs didn't decrease in value, you can add the 100% from the beginning of the problem.

100+90=190%

Need help finding n forgot how to do this

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

$n = 3\sqrt{2}$

There are two best ways to solve this.

using cosine method:

$cos(n) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$cos(60) = \frac{adjacent}{6\sqrt{2} }$

$adjacent,n = cos(60) * 6\sqrt{2}$

$n = 3\sqrt{2}$

using sine method:

$sin(n) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$sin(30)= \frac{n}{6\sqrt{2} }$

$n = sin(30) * 6\sqrt{2}$

$n = 3\sqrt{2}$

There are many ways, not to make it complex, these are the best ways to solve for n. Hope it helps ~

Solve the equation X³+2X²-5X -6

Natali [406]

Answer: x = {-1, -3, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

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 (result in a remainder of zero).

I will use Synthetic division. Let's try x = 1

1 | 1 2 -5 -6

| ↓ 1 3 -2

1 3 -2 -8 ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root

Let's try x = -1

- 1 | 1 2 -5 -6

| ↓ -1 -1 6

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

How do you factor this? x^{2} + 5 x- 9 = ?

Oksanka [162]

$x^2+5x-9\\\\a=1;\ b=5;\ c=-9\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-9)=25+36=61 > 0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{61}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x^2+5x-9=\left(x-\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)$
