Answer:
A| 12, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial can be factored by looking for factors of 36 that sum to -15. The sum being negative while the product is positive means both factors will be negative. The answer choices suggest ...
y = (x -12)(x -3)
A quick check shows this product is ...
y = x^2 -12x -3x +36 = x^2 -15x +36 . . . . as required
The factors are zero when x is either 12 or 3.
The zeros of the equation are 12 and 3.
____
Once you realize the constants in the binomial factors both have a negative sign, you can immediately choose the correct answer (A).
Or, you can use Descartes' rule of signs, which tells you that the two sign changes in the coefficients (+-+) mean there are 2 positive real roots.
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. −16x2 + 24x + 16 = 0
-8(2x2 - 3x - 2) = 0
-8(2x + 1 )(x - 2) = 0
x = -0.5, 2.
So the x-intercepts are (-0/5, 0) and (2, 0).
B. As the leading coefficients is negative (-16) the vertex of the graph will be a Maximum.
To find its coordinates we convert the function to vertex form:
f(x) = −16x2 + 24x + 16
= -16(x^2 - 1.5x) + 16
Completing the square on contents of the parentheses:
= -16 [(x - 0.75)^2 - 0.75^2] + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 - 16 * -0.75^2 + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 9 + 16
= -16(x - 0.75)^2 + 25.
So the coordinates of the vertex are (0.75, 25)
For example, if he sell $100 amounts of products, than he will get $1.5 commissions.
$100 x 0.015 = $1.5
He could have 30 dimes and 13 quartars
