Answer:

Amir: 2/3

Whitney: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let w represent the fraction Whitney eats. Then the fraction Amir eats is (w+5/12). The total amount they eat is found by ...

w + (w +5/12) + 1/12 = 1

2w = 1/2 . . . . . subtract 6/12

w = 1/4 . . . . fraction Whitney eats

w+5/12 = 3/12 +5/12 = 8/12 = 2/3 . . . . fraction Amir eats

Nate has an account that pays 2. 76% simple interest per year and wants to accumulate $3,090 in interest from it over the next 1

lana66690 [7]

We have given that,

interest rate = 2.76%

simple interest = 3,090

term = 15 years

<h3>What is the principle of simple interest?</h3>

$Simple Interest = Principal * interest rate * term$

$3,090 = Principal * .0276 * 15\\3,090 = Principal * 0.414\\3,090 / 0.414 = Principal\\7,463.77 = Principal$

Therefore,Nate should invest 7,463.77 to meet his goal.

If -1 and 2 are the two zeros of the polynomial x3-4x2-7x+10 find the third zero

rewona [7]

note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2

the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)

and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2

thus x² + x - 2 is a factor

dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5

the third zero is x = 5

check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0

Find the distance between the two points (0,0), (4,3)

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Distance between the points=5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points in coordinate geometry is measured by using the distance formula:

If we have given two points

$(x_1,y_1)\\\\(x_2,y_2)$

Distance formula= $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

For (0,0) and (4,3)

Distance:

$\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(3-0)^2} \\\\\sqrt{4^2+3^2}\\\\\sqrt{16+9}\\\\\sqrt{25}$

Distance between the points=5
