8×.15=1.2 (how many more each month)
365×1.2=438 (how many for one year)
438×2=876 (two year rate)
876+8= 886 (total mice after two years)

may i recommend an exterminator

i hope this helped

Write an equation for the polynomial function that has 2 and -3 + 5i as zero

AysviL [449]

Answer:

$p(x) = {x}^{3} + 4{x}^{2} + 22x- 68$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write an equation for the polynomial function with roots;

$x = 2$

and

$x = - 3 + 5i$

Note that complex roots come in pairs and in conjugates.

Therefore

$x = - 3 - 5i$

is also a root.

By the factor theorem:

(x-2), (x+3+5i), and (x+3-5i) are factors of the polynomial.

Let p(x) be the polynomial, then in factored form.

$p(x) = (x - 2)(x + 3 + 5i)(x + 3 - 5i)$

We expand now to get:

$p(x) = (x - 2)( {x}^{2} + 3x - 5ix + 3x + 9 - 15i + 5ix + 15i + 25)$

Simplify now

$p(x) = (x - 2)( {x}^{2} + 6x +34)$

We expand further;

$p(x) = x( {x}^{2} + 6x + 34) - 2( {x}^{2} + 6x + 34)$

$p(x) = {x}^{3} + 6 {x}^{2} + 34x - 2 {x}^{2} - 12x - 68$

$p(x) = {x}^{3} + 4{x}^{2} + 22x- 68$

If sec(theta) =25/24, find cot(theta) (Picture provided)

larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition,

$\sec \theta=\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent leg}}.$

If $\sec \theta=\dfrac{25}{24},$ we can consider right triangle with hypotenuse 25 un. and adjacent leg 24 un. By the Pythagorean theorem,

$\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=25^2-24^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=625-576,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=49,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}=7\ un.$

So,

$\cot \theta=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{opposite leg}}=\dfrac{24}{7}.$
