Answer:

  f(x) = x³ -5x² +2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function has a zero of p, then it has a factor of (x-p). The polynomial of least degree will only have factors corresponding to the given zeros:

  f(x) = (x -(-1))(x -2)(x -4)

  = (x +1)(x -2)(x -4)

  = (x² -x -2)(x -4)

  f(x) = x³ -5x² +2x +8

an algebra teacher drove by a farmyard full of chickens and pigs.the teacher happened to notice that there were a totals of 100
LiRa [457]
I'll be honest, this is a pretty interesting question. I've never seen anything like it before!

We can start off by making equations with the given. If there are 100 heads, that means that the total number of chickens and pigs combined is 100. Thus, we can form our first equation:

p + c = 100
('p' represents number of pigs, and 'c' represents number of chickens)

We also know that there are 270 legs total. Since chickens have 2 and pigs have 4, we can make the following equation:
2c + 4p = 270

I suppose the quickest way to solve for this equation is to use the subtraction method. Put the equations on top of each other:

2c + 4p = 270
c + p = 100
___________
Multiply the bottom equation by -2;

2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = 100
____________
"Add" these two equations together:

2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = -200
___________
2p = 70

Divide both sides by 2:
p = 35

Ah, finally. Now that we know that there are 35 pigs, input this variable into the first equation to find the number of chickens:

c + 35 = 100
Subtract:
c = 65

There are 35 pigs and 65 chickens

∠G and ∠H are supplementary; m∠G = (x + 4)° and m∠H = (4x + 11)°. What is the measure of ∠G? What is the measure of ∠H?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

∠G =  37°

∠H = 143°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know ,

Sum of supplementary angles is 180 degrees.

Hence sum of ∠G and ∠H  is also 180 degrees

∠G + ∠H = 180

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

(X+4) + (4X +11) = 180\\5X + 15 = 180\\5X = 165\\X = 33

∠G = (x + 4)° = (33 + 4)° = 37°

∠H = (4x + 11)° = (33*4 + 11)° = 143°

Multiply 12 by the sum of 8 and "t"
Katen [24]
Mathematically, that is 12(8+t). Distribute the 12, and you get 96 + 12t, or 12t + 96.
