Answer:

5t = 4b

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a proportional relationship for b in terms of t

From the question, b represent the amount of candle burned away in a given time t hours

From what we have initially, 13 3/4 burnt in 11 hours

So in 1 hour, the amount burnt will be;

55/4/11 = 5/4

5/4 inches of candle burnt in 1 hour

5/4 inches = b/t

So b inches burnt in t hours

5/4 = b/t

5t = 4b

Find a third-degree polynomial function with real coefficients and with zeros at -4 and -3 5i
Charra [1.4K]

If -3+5i is a solution, then by the conjugate root theorem, -3-5i is also a solution. We find the polynomial by multiplying together the factors. If x = -4, then x + 4 is the factor. If x = -3+5i, then (x-(-3+5i)) is a factor, and so is (x-(-3-5i)). Simplifying those down gives us as the first factor as (x+3-5i) and the second as (x+3+5i). We can FOIL those 2 together to get their product, and then FOIL in x+4. FOILing the 2 complex factors together gives us x^2+3x+15ix+3x+9+15i-15ix-15i-25i^2. If we combine like terms and cross out things that cancel it's much easier than what it looks like there! It simplifies down to x^2+6x-25i^2. Since i^2 = -1, it simplifies further to x^2+6x-25(-1) and finally, to x^2+6x+25. Now we will FOIL in x+4. (x^2+6x+25)(x+4)=x^3+6x^2+25x+4x^2+24x+100. Our final simplified third degree polynomial is x^3+10x^2+49x+100

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for m, you must divide V from each side. Leaving you with m=d/V. Hope this helped:)
