Answer:
Infinite
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x + 1) - 2
= 12x + 3 - 2 (Multiply the sum in the bracket by 3)
= 12x + 1 (Simplify)
This means that:
12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2
is the same as
12x + 1 = 12x + 1
Hence, anything that is used to substitute x is correct.
Question:
A shop is having a sales all items are reduced by 25%. Work out the sale price of an item normally priced at £60?
Answer:
The new price is £45
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
First, calculate the reduction
The new price is:
Y=(x+3)²+(x+4)²
y=x²+6x+9+x²+8x+16
y=2x²+14x+25
y=2(x²+7x+3.5²-3.5²)+25
y=2(x+3.5)²-2*3.5² +25
y=2(x+3.5)²+0.5
Zeros are the x values which make the function equal to zero. Set it up as you would for a binomial with a constant multiplier "k" to account for the y-intercept (0, -5) given.
f(x) = k(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)
Use the y-intercept (0,-5) to solve for k.
-5 = k(0-2)(0-3)(0-5)
-5 = -30k
-5/-30 = k
1/6 = k
The cubic polynomial function is then ..
f(x) = (1/6)(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)
Linear factors are the linear (line) expressions you can factor out of the polynomial. They are (x-2), (x-3) and (x-5).
