-multiplicity: the number of times a particular number is a zero for a given polynomial
-affects shape of graph
-odd multiplicity: crosses x axis at root
-even multiplicity: touches x axis at root but doesn't cross it
Answer:
cos 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this graph begins at (0, 1), we immediately suspect that it's a cosine function. Additionally, since there are 4 cycles of this cosine function between x = 0 and x = 2pi, we suspect horizontal compression:
cos 4x
<span>the particle's initial position is at t=0, x = 0 - 0 + 4 = 4m
velocity is rate of change of displacement = dx/dt = d(t^3 - 9t^2 +4)/dt
= 3t^2 - 18t
acceleration is rate of change of velocity = d(3t^2 -18t)/dt
= 6t - 18
</span><span>the particle is stationary when velocity = 0, so 3t^2 - 18t =0
</span>3t*(t - 6) = 0
t = 0 or t = 6s
acceleration = 6t - 18 = 0
t = 3s
at t = 3s, velocity = 3(3^2) -18*3 = -27m/s
displacement = 3^3 - 9*3^2 +4 = -50m
x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets
x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2
x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.
x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7
x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides
x - 6x = - 15
-5x = - 15 Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = -15/-5
x = 3
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
