The ratio House blend/Organic Free Trade blend is the same and must remain the same.
So, the proportion is:
Where x is the unknown amount of the Organic Free Trade blend.
So, from the proportion, we have:
Answer: 156 pounds of Organic Free Trade blend
$495.28 I think I'm not sure if I'm right.
Answer:
a = 1, b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the right side and compare the coefficients of like terms on both sides, that is
right side
(x - a)² + b ← expand factor using FOIL
= x² - 2ax + a² + b
Compare to left side x² - 2x + 2
Compare the coefficients of the x- term
- 2a = - 2 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
a = 1
Compare the constant terms
a² + b = 2 ( substitute a = 1 )
1² + b = 2
1 + b = 2 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
b = 1
Thus a = 1, b = 1
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The highest power of x will be the degree of the polynomial.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way to do this is by using synthetic division (I really hope you know what I'm talking about!)
If the factor is x + 2 = 0, then the solution or the root is x = -2. We will put -2 outside the "box" and the coefficients from the terms of the polynomial inside the "box":
-2| 1 0 0 8
Bring down the first number and multiply it by the -2. Put the product up under the first 0 and add:
-2| 1 0 0 8
-2
1 -2
Now multiply the -2 by the -2, put the product up under the next 0 and add:
-2| 1 0 0 8
-2 4
1 -2 4
Now multiply the 4 by the -2, put the product up under the 8 and add:
-2| 1 0 0 8
-2 4 -8
1 -2 4 0
Those bold numbers are the coefficients to the quotient, which is another polynomial, but is one degree less than the one you started with:
x² - 2x + 4 = 0
Since there is no remainder, then x = -2 is a zero of x³ + 8, and (x + 2) is a factor.
There is a whole world of stuff to learn about quadratics!!
