Answer:

a = 2

b = - 6

c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, -3,0 and 2 are the zeroes of the polynomial

Plug \:x = 0\: in \:p(X) \\ \implies p(0)= 0\\\therefore 0= 0^3 +(a-1)(0)^2 +b(0)+c\\\therefore 0= 0 +(a-1)\times 0 +b(0)+c\\\therefore 0= 0 +0+0+c\\\red{\bold{\therefore 0=c}}.....(1)\\\\p(X)=x³+(a-1)x²+bx+c. \\Plug \:x = -3\: in \:p(X) \\[tex] \implies p(-3)= 0\\\therefore 0= (-3)^3 +(a-1)(-3)^2 +b(-3)+c\\\therefore 0= -27 +(a-1)\times 9 +b(-3)+c\\\therefore 0= - 27 +9a-9 - 3b+c\\\therefore 0= - 36+9a-3b+c\\\therefore 36 =9a-3b+c... (2)\\Plug \:c= 0\: in \:equation \: (2)\\36= 9a - 3b + 0\\36= 9a - 3b\\36= 3(3a - b) \\\purple {\bold{12 = 3a - b}} .... (3)\\\\Plug \:x = 2\: in \:p(X) \\\implies p(2)= 0\\\therefore 0= 2^3 +(a-1)(2)^2 +b(2)+c\\\therefore 0= 8 +(a-1)\times 4 +b(2)+c\\\therefore 0= 8 +4a-4+2b+c\\\therefore 0= 4 +4a+2b+c\\\therefore - 4=4a+2b+c.....(4)\\Plug \:c= 0\: in \:equation \: (4)\\- 4 = 4a +2b+0\\-4= 2(2a+b)\\\orange{\bold{-2=2a + b}} .......(5)\\\\

Adding equation (3) and (5), we find:

12 = 3a - b

-2 = 2a + b

_________

10 = 5a

10/5 = a

a = 2

Plug a = 2 in equation (5)

-2= 2(2) + b

-2 = 4 + b

-2 - 4 = b

-6 = b

b = - 6

Addison wants to cut 21 centimeters of lace, but her ruler is only calibrated in millimeters. How many millimeters of lace shoul
GuDViN [60]
We are given that Addison wants to cut 21 centimeters of lace. The question asks us to convert 24 centimeters into millimeters. However, to do that, we need to know how many millimeters are in a centimeter. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Since centimeters are larger, we will need to multiply. Therefore, 21 × 10 is 210 millimeters, and that is how many millimeters Addison wanted to cut. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!

I'm trying to find out the number of how much it cost to wrap each present, day one 41 small gifts were wrapped and 45 large wer
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Small gift: $2

Large gift: $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of wrapping each small gift and y represent cost of wrapping each large gift.

We have been given that day one 41 small gifts were wrapped and 45 large were wrapped equaling $397.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

41x+45y=397...(1)

We are also told that day two 30 small gifts were wrapped and 47 large were wrapped equaling $389. We can represent this information in an equation as:

30x+47y=389...(2)  

From equation (1), we will get:

x=\frac{397-45y}{41}

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

30(\frac{397-45y}{41})+47y=389

\frac{11910-1350y}{41}+\frac{47*41y}{41}=389

\frac{11910-1350y+1927y}{41}=389

\frac{11910+577y}{41}=389

\frac{11910+577y}{41}\cdot 41=389\cdot 41

11910+577y=15949

11910-11910+577y=15949-11910

577y=4039

\frac{577y}{577}=\frac{4039}{577}

y=7

Therefore, cost to wrap a large gift is $7.

Upon substituting y=7 in equation x=\frac{397-45y}{41}, we will get:

x=\frac{397-45(7)}{41}

x=\frac{397-315}{41}

x=\frac{82}{41}

x=2

Therefore, cost to wrap a small gift is $2.
