A city council has to use its resources to improve either the water supply or the drainage system. At which level is this decision made?
The asnswer is: Government
Answer:
20 20/27
Step-by-step explanation:
(2 2/3)(3 1/3)(2 1/3) = (8/3)(10/3)(7/3) = 560/27 = 20 20/27
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The first two numbers can be written as a difference and a sum:
= (3 -1/3)(3 +1/3)(2 1/3)
= (3·3 -1/3·3 +3·1/3 -1/3·1/3)(2 1/3)
= (9 -1/9)(2 +1/3) = 9·2 +9·1/3 -1/9·2 -1/9·1/3 = 18 +3 -6/27 -1/27
= 20 20/27
See explanation below.
Explanation:
The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..
Assume we have some function of a single variable
x
;
we'll call this
f
(
x
)
Then we can form an equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of
x
that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.
Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about
f
x
)
. To consider factors, we now need to assume that
f
(
x
)
=
g
(
x
)
⋅
h
(
x
)
.
That is that
f
(
x
)
factorises into some functions
g
(
x
)
×
h
(
x
)
If we recall our equation:
f
(
x
)
=
0
Then we can now say that either
g
(
x
)
=
0
or
h
(
x
)
=
0
.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.
[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where
f
(
x
)
is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
