In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for $f(x)=0$ and find a and b.

When we plug in 1, we get: $2 \times {1}^{4} - 5 \times {1}^{3} - 14 \times {1}^{2} + a \times 1 + b = 0$

Simplify:
$2 - 5 - 14 + a + b = 0$
$- 17 + a + b = 0$
$a + b = 17$

We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.

We have another given root: 4.

Plug it in:
$2 \times {4}^{4} - 5 \times {4}^{3} - 14 \times {4}^{2} + a \times 4 + b = 0$
$512 - 320 - 224 + 4a + b = 0$
$- 32 + 4a + b = 0$
$4a + b = 32$

Now we have our second one. We can combine them:
$a + b = 17 \\ 4a + b = 32$

I use elimination method which is easier here.

Multiply the top equation by -1: $- a - b = - 17 \\ 4a + b = 32$

Add them up:
$3a = 15$

Simplify:
$a = 5$

Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:
$5 + b = 17$
$b = 17 - 5$
$b = 12$

So, the answers are $a=5$ and $b=12$ .

The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. A length of 2.3 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map. City C

masya89 [10]

The distance between city C and city D is 450 miles.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles.

A length of 2.3 feet represents this distance on a certain wall map.

City C and City D are 4.14 feet apart on this map.

We have to find what is the actual distance between City C and City D?

Now, distance between a and b is 250 miles ⇒ 2.3 feet on map

Then, distance between c and d be n miles ⇒ 4.14 feet on map.

Now, by chris cross method.

250 x 4.14 = 2.3 x n miles.

2.3n = 1035

n = 450

Hence, the distance between city C and city D is 450 miles.

Juliet has a choice between receiving a monthly salary of $1750 from a company or a base salary of $1600 and a 3% commission on

Westkost [7]

For an amount of sales of $5,000, the two salary choice will be equal

Let the amount of sales be $x

The 3% she will receive will be;

$\frac{3}{100}\times x\text{ = 0.03x}$

We add this to the base salary and equate to the former monthy salary

We have this as;

$\begin{gathered} 1750\text{ =1600 + 0.03x} \\ 1750-1600\text{ = 0.03x} \\ 150\text{ = 0.03x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{150}{0.03} \\ x\text{ = \$5000} \end{gathered}$
