Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that pencils come in packages of 10 while erasers come in package of 12 .

We are further told that Phillip wants to purchase the smallest number of pencils and erasers so that he will have exactly 1 eraser per pencil, this simply means that we have to calculate the lowest common multiple for 10 and 12.

Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,

Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72

Therefore, the packages of pencils and erasers that Phillip should buy will be 60

Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, –5). Describe the ste
olga_2 [115]
1. "the graph has the same zeros" : so let a be the "triple" root of the cubic polynomial function.

2. So f(x)=(x-a)^{3}

3. Don't forget that the expression might have a coefficient b as well, and still maintain the conditions: 
 
f(x)=b(x-a)^{3}

4. Now, f(0)=-5 so  -5=f(0)=b(0-a)^{3}=b(-a) ^{3}=-ba ^{3}

-5=-ba ^{3}

5=ba ^{3}

b= \frac{5}{ a^{3} }

5. the function is f(x)=\frac{5}{ a^{3} }(x-a)^{3} where a can be any real number except 0

Need help with this math question
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

23%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 male and 3 female freshmen. Thus the total number of freshmen is 7.

On the other hand, we have 14 male students and 16 female students. Thus the total number of students is 30.

If a student is selected at random, the probability that the student is a freshman is;

( 7/30) * 100 = 23.33%
