Answer:

85, 68, 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Average: The sum of all the numbers divided by the number of numbers

If the ratio of the scores is 5 : 4 : 3, let's just set it as 5x : 4x : 3x

Then using the definition of an average, we can write this equation.

(5x + 4x + 3x) / 3 = 68

Multiply both sides by 3.

5x + 4x + 3x = 68 * 3

Simplify.

12x = 204

x = 17

Now, substitute x = 17 into the original scores (5x, 4x, and 3x)

5x = 5 * 17 = 85

4x = 4 * 17 = 68

3x = 3 * 17 = 51

Just in case, let's check this answer. Find the average of the 3 test scores.

(85 + 68 + 51) / 3 =

204 / 3 = 68

Thus, the answers are correct

We want to find the zeros of this polynomial:
fredd [130]

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.
