Answer:

P(x) = x² - 15x + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We write the polynomial function P(x), given that P(x) = 0 has the given roots, x = 5 and x = 10.

Since x = 5 and x = 10 are the roots of P(x) = 0, it follows that (x - 5) and (x - 10) are factors of P(x) = 0. So, P(x) = (x -5)(x - 10) = 0

Expanding the brackets, we have

x² - 10x - 5x + 50 = 0

Simplifying, we have

x² - 15x + 50 = 0 = P(x)

Thus,

P(x) = x² - 15x + 50

I need help, can someone tell me the answer to 13x + 3 - 7x - 1? Please and thank you.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

6x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

your combine like terms...

so 13x is teh same as -7x

13x-7x= 6x

3 and -1 are the same as well

3-1=2

so teh answer would be

6x+2

A granola bite contains 27 calories. Most of the calories come from c grams of carbohydrates. The rest come from other ingredien

joja [24]

Answer:

a. 5 represents the number of calories that come from other ingredients.

b. Neither 8 nor 3 satisfy the given equation, so neither 8 nor 3 can be the solution to the equation.

c. <em>c = 5.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$4c + 5 = 27$

Where $c$ represents the grams of carbohydrates

27 is the total number of calories that are received by the granola bite.

4 is the number of calories from 1 gram of carbohydrates and

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Answer of Part a:

5 is the number of calories that are received from other ingredients.

Part b:

Let us take left hand side (LHS) and put values of c = 8 and 3 one by one.

So, LHS becomes:

4 \times 8 + 5 = 37 $\neq RHS\ i.e.\ 27$

4 \times 3 + 5 = 17 $\neq RHS\ i.e.\ 27$

So, Priya is correct that neither 8 or 3 could be solution.

Part c:

$4c + 5 = 27\\\Rightarrow 4c = 22\\\Rightarrow \bold{c = 5.5}$

So, solution to the equation is: <em>c = 5.5</em>

Siri is grocery shopping. She is buying macaroni. One box is 6 inches long, 1 inch wide and 9

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The second box

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid can be given by the formula: V=31Ah. Where. A: Area of the V=(1/3)(B)(h)

multiply both sides by 3

3V=Bh

divide both sides by B

3V/B=h

Therefore, If it is wider it has more space to carry more items such as macaroni.

I hope this helps! (:

The sand at the bottom of an hourglass has the approximate shape of a cone with a diameter of 9.85 cm and a height of 6 cm.

Murljashka [212]

Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius and then plug into cone volume pi*r^2*h/3 which is a bit under 160 so the answer is A
