Answer:

José has 49 used stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

7 used stamps for every 4 new stamps

To solve this type of problem, we can use a ratio

7 : 4 ratio

He has 28 new stamps

7 : 4 = x : 28

Ratios can be written as fractions

$\frac{7}{4} = \frac{x}{28}$

Cross multiply

4x = 7(28) = 196

Divide by 4 on both sides

x = 49

Hope this helps :)

According to the rational root theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x)=5x^3-7x+11

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$\pm11,\pm1,\pm\frac{11}{5},\pm\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial function is

$f(x)=5x^3-7x+11$

According to the Rational Roots Theorem, the ratio of all factors of the constant term expressed over the factors of the leading coefficient.

The potential rational roots are

$\pm\frac{11}{1}=\pm11$

$\pm\frac{1}{1}=\pm1$

$\pm\frac{11}{5}$

$\pm\frac{1}{5}$

(4,9) is in quarter I and (4,-9) is in quarter IV of the graph. (4,-9) is the point (4,9) reflected over the x-axis. they are similar bc both have 4 as their x coordinate.
