the candle holders. On the east side, he replaced candles in 24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles. On the west side, he replaced the candles in 14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles. How many candles does each candle holder hold?

Answer:

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of candles that a small candleholder holds.

y is the number of candles that a large candleholder holds.

24 small candle holders and 3 large candle holders, using a total of 87 candles.

This means that

24x + 3y = 87

Simplifying by 3

8x + y = 29

y = 29 - 8x

14 small candle holders and 7 large candle holders, for a total of 77 candles.

This means that 14x + 7y = 77

Simplifying by 7

2x + y = 11

y = 11 - 2x

Since y = 29 - 8x

11 - 2x = 29 - 8x

6x = 18

x = \frac{18}{6}

x = 3

y = 29 - 8x = 29 - 8*3 = 29 - 24 = 5

Each small candleholder holds 3 candles, and each large one holds 5 candles.

The quotient of (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)/(x^2+5x+6)
Elis [28]

Answer: The quotient is (x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

f(x)=(x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\and\\\\g(x)=x^2+5x+6\\\\So,\ \frac{\left(x^3+3x^2-4x-12\right)}{\left(x^2+5x+6\right)}

Now, we have to find the quotient of the above expression.

So, here we go:

Factorise\ (x^3+3x^2-4x-12)\\\\=\left(x^3+3x^2\right)+\left(-4x-12\right)\\\\=-4\left(x+3\right)+x^2\left(x+3\right)\\\\=\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)

Now, we will divide the above simplest form with g(x):

\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)}\\\\=\frac{x^2-4}{x+2}\\\\=\frac{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)}{x+2}\ using\ (a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)\\\\=x-2

Hence, the quotient is (x-2).

The first four terms of an arithmetic sequence are -11,-5,1,7. what is the equation for an
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

y = 6x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a linear function. This means it steadily increases or decreases through addition/subtraction by a constant amount. Here the sequence grows by adding 6 each time.

-11 + 6 = -5

-5 + 6 = 1

1 + 6 = 7

etc....

Since this is linear, its equation has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is m = 6 and b = -11.

y = 6x - 11
