Answer:

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours

x + y = 7 (1)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

From (1)

x = 7 - y

Substitute x = 7 - y into (2)

4.5x + 3.5y = 25.5 (2)

4.5(7 - y) + 3.5y = 25.5

31.5 - 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5

- 4.5y + 3.5y = 25.5 - 31.5

-y = -6

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1)

x + y = 7 (1)

x + 6 = 7

x = 7 - 6

x = 1

x = days he reads for 4.5 hours = 1 day

y = days he reads for 3.5 hours = 6 days

What is the value of f(7)
kkurt [141]
F(7) means f(x) when x = 7. The x is replaced with 7.

So we'll replace every x with 7 to go from x = 7 to 3-x = 3-7 = -4

Put another way
f(x) = 3-x
f(7) = 3-7
f(7) = -4

Answer: -4

Suppose the man in the St. Ives poem has x wives, each wife has x sacks, each sack has x cats, and each cat has x kits. Write an
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

x^{1} wives

x^{2} sacks

x^{3} cats

x^{4} kits

Suppose the man in the St. Ives poem has x wives, each wife has x sacks, each sack has x cats, and each cat has x kits. Write an expression using exponents that represents the total number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives going to St .Ives.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{1} wives

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, so the number of sacks is:

x^{2} sacks

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, so the number of cats is:

x^{3} cats

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, and each cat has "x" kits, so the number of kits is:

x^{4} kits

Write an equation for the cubic polynomial function whose graph has zeroes at 2, 3, and 5.
TiliK225 [7]

we know that

For a polynomial, if x=a is a zero of the function, then (x−a) is a factor of the function. The term multiplicity, refers to the number of times that its associated factor appears in the polynomial.

So

In this problem

If the cubic polynomial function has zeroes at 2, 3, and 5

then

the factors are

(x-2)\\ (x-3)\\ (x-5)

Part a) Can any of the roots have multiplicity?

The answer is No

If a cubic polynomial function has three different zeroes

then

the multiplicity of each factor is one

For instance, the cubic polynomial function has the zeroes

x=2\\ x=3\\ x=5

each occurring once.

Part b) How can you find a function that has these roots?

To find the cubic polynomial function multiply the factors and equate to zero

so

(x-2)*(x-3)*(x-5)=0\\ (x^{2} -3x-2x+6)*(x-5)=0\\ (x^{2} -5x+6)*(x-5)=0\\ x^{3} -5x^{2} -5x^{2} +25x+6x-30=0\\ x^{3}-10x^{2} +31x-30=0

therefore

the answer Part b) is

the cubic polynomial function is equal to

x^{3}-10x^{2} +31x-30=0
