Answer:

The spider ate 10 bugs this month.

Step-by-step explanation:

A spider ate last month =  8 bugs

If the spider ate more bugs this month = 25%

First we calculate 25% of 8 (last month's value)

= \frac{25}{100} × 8

= 0.25 × 8 = 2

The spider ate 2 more bugs than the last month.

So this month spider ate =  8 + 2 = 10  bugs.

The spider ate 10 bugs this month.

To increase by a percentage, multiply by the 1+(the percentage/100). i.e. in this case to find 25% we'd multiply by 0.25, so to increase by 25% we basically find 125% of it, which involves multiplying by 1.25.

8*1.25 is 10, so the spider ate 10 bugs this month.

How can we factorise the expression: 2x^6+17x^3+8?​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

(a + 2)( {a}^{2}  - 2a +  4 )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^6+17x^3+8 \\  = 2x^6+16x^3 +  {x}^{3} +8 \\  =  2{x}^{3} ( {x}^{3}  + 8) + 1( {x}^{3}  + 8) \\  = ( {x}^{3}  + 8)(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1) \\  = ( {x}^{3}  +  {2}^{3} )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)  \\  = (a + 2)( {a}^{2}  - 2a +  {2}^{2} )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)   \\  = (a + 2)( {a}^{2}  - 2a +  4 )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)  \\

The roosevelt middle school band is having a fundraiser. They sold a total of 300 hotdogs and hamburgers. Hot dogs were sold for
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

180 hamburgers

120 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold

We proceed as follows;

Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.

We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;

x + y = 300 ..........(I)

Now let’s look at the prices.

x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs

y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.

Adding both to give total, we have ;

2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)

This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y

Now let’s insert this in the second equation;

2(300-y) + 3y = 780

600-2y + 3y = 780

y = 780-600 = 180

Recall; x + y = 300

x = 300 -y

x = 300-180 = 120

Use synthetic division and the remainder theorem to find p(a) = 2x3 -x2 + 10x; = a = 1/2
sergey [27]

Answer:

p(1/2) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the value of p(1/2) if p(x) = 2x^3 -x^2 + 10x

Set up synthetic div.:

1/2   )   2   -1    10   0

                1      0    5

       ------------------------

           2   0    10     5

The remainder is 5, so we conclude that p(x) = 2x^3 -x^2 + 10x = 5 when x = 1/2.
