Im not sure if im correct but I think the answer is 82 hours.
X/3 = 8/12
12 * x = 8 * 3
12x = 24
x = 2
8/12 = 4/y
8y = 48
y = 6
Answer : 11^9
Explanation: when you’re dividing powers, you substract them, so in this case it is 6-2 and you’ll get 11^4. Then you need to multiply, when you’re multiplying you are adding powers. In this case you add 4 and 5 and get 11^9
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
I would say that they didnt because if you plug anythin in that equation it wont be a solution......i think thats what it meant
