P(1) = P(-1)
P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.
P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.
So, a = 3 and b = -2
Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)
P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.
Answer: x=2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pru, Piper, Phoebe ratio 5:3:4vadded = 12
What this means is Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total amount, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices.
pru = piper + 24
5/12x = 3/12x + 24
5/12x - 3/12x = 24
2/12x = 24
x = 24 / (1/6)
x = 24 * 6
x = 144 spices in total
Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices
Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices
Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices
I hope this can help.
Be more specific for yssss !!
