Answer:

48.6 quart of fertilizer

Step-by-step explanation:

The directions say to use 4/5 of a quart of fertilizer for each acre of land.

Alan has two fields,

Field 1

22 1/2 acre of land

1 acre of land = 4/5 quart

22 1/2 acre of land = x

Cross Multiply

x = 22 1/2 × 4/5

x = 45/2 × 4/5

x = 18 quart of fertilizer

Field 2

38 1/4 acres of land

1 acre of land = 4/5 quart

38 1/4 acre of land = x

Cross Multiply

x = 38 1/4 × 4/5

x = 153/4 × 4/5

x = 30.6 quart of fertilizer

The total fertilizer that Alan will need for his two fields is calculated as:

18 quart of fertilizer + 30.6 quart of fertilizer

= 48.6 quart of fertilizer

If angle adc=134 and adb=5x+4 and bdc=7x-2 what does angle bdc measure
ruslelena [56]
As I've shown on picture that I attached:
∠ADC=∠ADB+∠BDC⇒134=5x+4+7x-2
12x+2=134
12x=132⇒x=132/12
x=11
Angle BDC measure 7x-2=7*11-2⇒∠BDC=75.

Find the values of k so that each remainder is three. <br> 10. (x^2+ 5x + 7) = (x + k)
Goryan [66]

Answer:

k=1\text{ or } k=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a <em>binomial</em> in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).

We are dividing:

(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+k)

So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.

Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.

We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.

Therefore:

(-k)^2+5(-k)+7=3

Simplify:

k^2-5k+7=3

Solve for <em>k</em>. Subtract 3 from both sides:

k^2-5k+4=0

Factor:

(k-1)(k-4)=0

Zero Product Property:

k-1=0\text{ or } k-4=0

Solve:

k=1\text{ or } k=4

So, either of the two expressions:

(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+1)\text{ or } (x^2+5x+7)\div(x+4)

Will yield 3 as the remainder.

If f(a)=(a•a•a)-(a•a) + a-1 what is the value of f(-3)?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

-40

Step-by-step explanation:

f(a) = a³ - a² + a - 1

f(-3) = (-3)³ - (-3)² + (-3) - 1

f(-3) = (-27) - (9) + (-3) -1

f(-3) = -27 - 9 -3 - 1

f(-3) = -40

Find the value of x.<br> If necessary, you may learn what the markings on a figure indicate.<br> 74°
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

x = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Left hand triangle containing 1 angle of 74

Label the other angle opposite the marked side also as 74

Find the third angle. Call it y.

y + 74 + 74 = 180           Combine like terms

y + 148 = 180                 Subtract 148 from both sides.

y = 180 - 148

y = 32

=============

Now work with the triangle on the right.

label the angle making up the right angle = z

32 + z = 90                             These two angles are complementary = 90

32 - 32 + z = 90 - 32              Subtract 32 from both sides

z = 58                                      Use 58 wherever you see z

x + x + z = 180                         Substitute

2x + 58 = 180                          Subtract 58 from both sides

2x = 122                                  Divide by 2

x = 61
