Answer:
f(x) = 3x² - 15x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given f(x) has roots x = a and x = b, then
(x - a) and (x - b) are the factors
f(x) is then the product of the factors
f(x) = a(x - a)(x - b) ← where a is a multiplier
Given roots are x = 4 and x = 1, then
(x - 4) and (x - 1) are the factors
With a = 3, then
f(x) = 3(x - 4)(x - 1) ← expand factors using FOIL
= 3(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute
= 3x² - 15x + 12
Answer: 24% of the books read are magazine
Step-by-step explanation:sum of the books read is 20+12+18=50 books.
Therefore 12 of the books are magazine.
Then, 12 of 50 =24%( 12÷50)× 100/1 = 24%
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Eqn. 1 ----> 4y = x
Eqn. 2 ----> 5x-10y = -50
(Simplifying eqn.2 further)


(Substituting the value of x from eqn. 1)



Now, substituting the value of y in eqn. 1 ,

A = 1/2 (b x h)
A = 1/2(12.5 x 2.4)
A = 1/2(30)
A = 15
Answer: The answer would be 3.91666666667
