5919 pounds because 1 ton is 2000 pounds and 6000-81 is 5919
The rational root theorem tells you all roots are of the form
±(factor of 2)/(factor of 3)
We know one of the roots is -1 and all roots are negative, so the remaining roots must be of the form
-(factor of 2)/(factor of 3)
which is to say, two of
-1/3, -2/3, -1, -2
Since the roots are distinct, they must be -2 and -1/3. Then the factorization of the given polynomial is
(x +1)(x +2)(3x +1)
which multiplies out to be
3x³ +10x² +9x +2
a = 10
b = 9
Answer:
7 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/10 + 5 7/10 = 2 + 5 + 1/10 + 7/10 = 7 8/10 = 7 4/5
