We want to find the zeros of this polynomial:

Mathematics

Answer:

x = -3 and x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:

p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>

p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>

Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:

p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)

Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:

p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)

Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:

x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2

Those are your zeros.

The line y =3x-5 meet x-axis at the point M.
dusya [7]

y = 3x - 5 meets the x-axis at the x-intercept, and that happens when y = 0


\bf \stackrel{y}{0}=3x-5\implies 5=3x\implies \cfrac{5}{3}=x~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{M}{\left( \frac{5}{3},0 \right)}


3y + 2x = 2, meets the y-axis when x = 0, and that'd be the y-intercept


\bf 3y+2(\stackrel{x}{0})=2\implies 3y=2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{N}{\left( 0,\frac{2}{3} \right)}


so let's find the equation of the line with points M and N in standard form, bearing in mind that

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient


\bf M(\stackrel{x_1}{\frac{5}{3}}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad N(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{\frac{2}{3}}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}-0~~}{0-\frac{5}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot -\cfrac{3}{5}\implies -\cfrac{2}{5}


\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=-\cfrac{2}{5}\left( x-\cfrac{5}{3} \right)\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{15}}{15y=-6x+10}\implies \stackrel{\textit{standard form}}{6x+15y=10}\implies 6x+15y-10=0

Pediatricians prescribe 5mL of cough syrup for every 25lb of a child's weight. How many mililiters of cough syrup will the docto
Marianna [84]

Answer:

9 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pediatrician prescribes 5 milliliters of cough syrup for every 25 lb of child weight.

Now, the weight of Jocelyn is 45 lb.

If the rate of prescribing the cough syrup in ml per weight of patients remains constant,

Then we can use the unitary method to get the amount of cough syrup prescribed by the Pediatrician for Jocelyn, and that will be

\frac{5*45}{25} =9 ml. (Answer)

5 1/3-3 2/4 find the difference
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1 10/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fractions and get them to the same bottom number, 12.  So it would be 5 4/12 -  3 6/12.

Take 1 away from 5 to get 4 and the one you pulled would be 12/12(also equal to 1).  4  16/12 - 3  6/12 would be 1  10/12
