Answer: 72 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the amount of sugar in grams that  must be used for 252 grams of coconut to keep the same ratio of coconut to sugar.

Knowing that in the recipe for the coconut cookies, should be 420 grams of coconut and 120 grams of sugar, and you only have 252 grams of coconut, you can set up this proportion to find "s":

\frac{420grams}{120grams}=\frac{252grams}{s}

Now, you need to solve for "s":

\frac{420grams}{120grams}=\frac{252grams}{s}\\\\s(\frac{420grams}{120grams})=252grams\\\\s=(252grams)(\frac{120grams}{420grams})\\\\s=72grams

What second degree polynomial function has a leading coefficient of -2 and root 4 with a multiplicity of 2
OverLord2011 [107]

The second degree polynomial with leading coefficient of -2 and root 4 with multiplicity of 2 is:

p(x) = -2*(x - 4)*(x - 4) = -2*(x - 4)^2

<h3>How to write the polynomial?</h3>

A polynomial of degree N, with the N roots {x₁, ..., xₙ} and a leading coefficient a is written as:

p(x) = a*(x - x_1)*(x - x_2)*...*(x - x_n)

Here we know that the degree is 2, the only root is 4 (with a multiplicity of 2, this is equivalent to say that we have two roots at x = 4) and a leading coefficient equal to -2.

Then this polynomial is equal to:

p(x) = -2*(x - 4)*(x - 4) = -2*(x - 4)^2
