Answer:
28 white strands , 20 blue strands and 32 red strands are needed to make a pair of pom-poms
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :A pom-pom manufacturer makes each of its pom-poms with 35% white strands (w), 25% blue strands (b), and 40% red strands (r).
To Find : If each pom-pom has a total of 80 strands, how many of strands of each color are needed to make a pair of pom-poms?
Solution:
Total Strands = 80
White Strands = 35%
No. of white strands = 
Blue Strands = 25%
No. of blue strands = 
Red Strands = 40%
No. of Red strands = 
Hence 28 white strands , 20 blue strands and 32 red strands are needed to make a pair of pom-poms

The polynomial w^2+18w+84 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is w^2+18w + 81
----------
The reason the original can't be factored is that solving w^2+18w+84=0 leads to no real solutions. Use the quadratic formula to see this. The graph of y = x^2+18x+84 shows there are no x intercepts. A solution and an x intercept are basically the same. The x intercept visually represents the solution.
w^2+18w+81 factors to (w+9)^2 which is the same as (w+9)(w+9). We can note that w^2+18w+81 is in the form a^2+2ab+b^2 with a = w and b = 9

The polynomial y^2-10y+23 cannot be factored
The perfect square trinomial is y^2-10y + 25
---------
Using the quadratic formula, y^2-10y+23 = 0 has no rational solutions. The two irrational solutions mean that we can't factor over the rationals. Put another way, there are no two whole numbers such that they multiply to 23 and add to -10 at the same time.
If we want to complete the square for y^2-10y, we take half of the -10 to get -5, then square this to get 25. Therefore, y^2-10y+25 is a perfect square and it factors to (y-5)^2 or (y-5)(y-5)
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the function
which is here just (3 , 9 , 12)
so the choice is C.

Answer:
$342.37
Step-by-step explanation:
When a quantity is marked up by x%, its marked-up price is (1 +x/100) times its original price. Tax is effectively a markup.
Louise's costs are ...
$125 + (12.50 +19.50)(1.07) = $159.24
Louise priced her painting at ...
$159.24·(1 +1.15) = $342.37
