A horticulturist wants to improve the soil quality in a garden by adding 120 pounds of nitrogen and 54 pounds of potassium. A pa

ck of organic fertilizer contains 2 pounds of nitrogen and 3 pounds of potassium, and a pack of inorganic fertilizer contains 6 pounds of nitrogen and 2 pounds of potassium. How many packs of each type of fertilizer does the horticulturalist need to use? (Hint Write an equation for the total amount of nitrogen (120 pounds) obtained by adding the packs of both the fertilizers and another equation for the total amount of potassium (54 pounds) obtained by adding the packs of both the fertilizers.)
A organic fertilizer: 24 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 12 packs

B. organic fertilizer: 14 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 6 packs

C organic fertilizer: 15 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 8 packs

D. organic fertilizer: 9 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 17 packs

Е. organic fertilizer: 6 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 18 packs​

x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.

pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120

pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54

eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.

9x + 6y = 162

-2x - 6y = -120

------------------

7x = 42

x = 6

y = 18

Find the zeros (roots) of the following equations. f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0
Talja [164]
Hi,
f(1)=2*1^5-9*1^4+12*1^3-12*1^2+10*1-3\\
=2-9+12-12+10-3\\
=0\\

f(x)=(x-1)(2x^4-7x^3+5x^2-7x+3)\\


g(x)=2x^4-7x^3+5x^2-7x+3\\

g(3)=2*3^4-7*3^3+5*3^2-7*3+3\\
=162-189+45-21+3\\
=0\\

g(x)=(x-3)(2x^3-x^2+2x-1)\\

h(x)=2x^3-x^2+2x-1\\

h( \dfrac{1}{2} )=2* \dfrac{1}{8} - \dfrac{1} {4}+1-1\\
=0\\

h(x)=(2x-1)(x^2+1)\\


f(x)=(x-1)(x-3)(2x-1)(x+i)(x-i)\\



Roots are 1,3,0.5,i,-i.

What kind of sequence is the pattern 1, 6, 7, 13, 20, ...?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The given sequence 6, 7, 13, 20, ... is a recursive sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given sequence is

6, 7, 13, 20, ...

  • It cannot be an arithmetic sequence as the common difference between two consecutive terms in not constant.

As

d = 7-6=1,  d = 13-7=6

As d is not same. Hence, it cannot be an arithmetic sequence.

  • It also cannot be a geometrical sequence and exponential sequence.

It cannot be geometric sequence as the common ratio between two consecutive terms in not constant.

As

r = 7-6=1,  r = 13-7=6

r = \frac{7}{6},  r = \frac{13}{7}

As r is not same, Hence, it cannot be a geometric sequence or exponential sequence. As exponential sequence and geometric sequence are basically the same thing.

So, if we carefully observe, we can determine that:

  • The given sequence 6, 7, 13, 20, ... is a recursive sequence.

Please have a close look that each term is being created by adding the preceding two terms.

For example, the sequence is generated by starting from 1.

     {\displaystyle F_{1}=1

and

     {\displaystyle F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}}

for n > 1.
