Answer:

Albert needs 32 cars to wash to reach his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of a linear function is

y = mx+b

where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept

It is stated that Albert needs $133 to buy a new hard drive.

  • Let 'y' be the amount Albert needs.

As earns $4.75 for each car he washes. Thus, $4.75 the rate of change or slope will be.

As he spends $19 on supplies. Since it is an expense, so -19 is basically the y-intercept 'b'.

Let 'x' be the number of cars he needs to wash to reach his goal.

Thus, substituting the value m = 4.75, y = 133, and b=-19 in the slope-intercept form of a linear function

y = mx+b

133 = 4.75x - 19

133+19 = 4.75x

152 = 4.75x

x = 152 / 4.75

x = 32

Therefore, Albert needs 32 cars to wash to reach his goal.

HELP!!! Use the factor Theorem to determine whether the binomial x+1 is a factor of the polynomial function f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-
Dovator [93]

ANSWER

A. No because f(c)=-30

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial is

f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-6

If x+1 is a factor , then f(-1) must evaluate to zero.

f( - 1) =2( - 1)^3-9( - 1)^2+13( - 1)-6

f( - 1) =2( - 1)-9( 1)+13( - 1)-6

f( - 1) = - 2-9 - 13-6

f( - 1) = -11 - 19

f( - 1) = - 30

Since f(-1) is not equal to zero, x+1 is not a factor of

f(x) =2x^3-9x^2+13x-6
