Given:

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8.

Polynomial roots are 1 and 2.

The graph passes through the point (4,5).

To find:

The 3rd root and the equation of the polynomial.

Solution:

The factor form of a polynomial is:

y=a(x-c_1)(x-c_2)...(x-c_n)

Where, a is a constant and c_1,c_2,...,c_n are the roots of the polynomial.

Polynomial roots are 1 and 2. So, (x-1) and (x-2) are the factors of the polynomial.

Let the third root of the polynomial by c, then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8. So, a=8 and the equation of the polynomial is:

y=8(x-1)(x-2)(x-c)

The graph passes through the point (4,5). Putting x=4,y=5, we get

5=8(4-1)(4-2)(4-c)

5=8(3)(2)(4-c)

5=48(4-c)

Divide both sides by 48.

\dfrac{5}{48}=4-c

c=4-\dfrac{5}{48}

c=\dfrac{192-5}{48}

c=\dfrac{187}{48}

Therefore, the 3rd root on the polynomial is \dfrac{187}{48}.

You can buy 5 cans for green beans at the Village Markets for $3.70. You can buy 10 of the same cans of beans at Sam’s Club for
mihalych1998 [28]

The place with the best buy between village market and Sam's club is Sam's club at $0.59 per can.

<h3>Unit rate</h3>

Village market:

  • Green beans = 5 cans
  • Total cost = $3.70

Unit rate = Total cost / green beans

= 3.70 / 5

= $0.74 per can

Sam's club:

  • Green beans = 10 cans
  • Total cost = $5.90

Unit rate = Total cost / green beans

= 5.90/10

= $0.59 per can

Therefore, the place with the best buy between village market and Sam's club is Sam's club at $0.59 per can.

2400 in prize money...

the first winner will receive 1/3 of the money..
1/3 * 2400 = 2400/3 = 800
leaving 2400 - 800 = 1600

the next 10 winners will receive 1/10 of the remaining amount
1/10 * 1600 = 1600/10 = 160 <== each will receive $ 160
