Mathematics

Answer:

6 packages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the student needs a total of 3/4 pounds of modeling clay we need to calculate how much is 3/4 of 8 since that is the denominator being used to calculate each individual package of clay. Since 3/4 is equal to 0.75 we can simply multiply this by 8 to calculate the total amount of clay needed.

8 * 0.75 = 6

This means that the student will need 6/8 pounds of clay. Since each package brings 1/8 pounds this means that we would need a total of 6 packages in order to have enough clay.

Find x: 3/(x-4)(x-7) + 6/(x-7)(x-13) + 15/(x-13)(x-28) - 1/x-28 = -1/20
Novay_Z [31]

The value of x<em> </em>in the polynomial fraction 3/((x-4)•(x-7)) + 6/((x-7)•(x-13)) + 15/((x-13)•(x-28)) - 1/(x-28) = -1/20 is <em>x </em>= 24

<h3>How can the polynomial with fractions be simplified to find<em> </em><em>x</em>?</h3>

The given equation is presented as follows;

\frac{3}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7) }  + \frac{6}{(x - 7) \cdot (x - 13)   }  + +\frac{15}{(x - 13) \cdot (x - 28) } - \frac{1}{(x - 28)  } =  -  \frac{1}{20}

Factoring the common denominator, we have;

\frac{3\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28) + 6 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 28)  + 15 \cdot(x - 4) \cdot(x - 7)  - (x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)}   + =  -  \frac{1}{20}

Simplifying the numerator of the right hand side using a graphing calculator, we get;

By expanding and collecting, the terms of the numerator gives;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548)

Given that the terms of the numerator have several factors in common, we get;

-(x³ - 48•x + 651•x - 2548) = -(x-7)•(x-28)•(x-13)

Which gives;

\frac{-(x - 7) \cdot(x - 28)\cdot (x - 13)}{(x - 4) \cdot (x - 7)\cdot(x - 13) \cdot(x - 28)}   + =  -  \frac{1}{20}

Which gives;

\frac{-1}{(x - 4)}   + =  -  \frac{1}{20}

x - 4 = 20

Therefore;

  • x = 20 + 4 = 24
