Upon a slight rearrangement this problem gets a lot simpler to see.
x^3-x+2x^2-2=0 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms...
x(x^2-1)+2(x^2-1)=0
(x+2)(x^2-1)=0 now the second factor is a "difference of square" of the form:
(a^2-b^2) which always factors to (a+b)(a-b), in this case:
(x+2)(x+1)(x-1)=0
So g(x) has three real zero when x={-2, -1, 1}
To find the area of a regular polygon, all you have to do is follow this simple formula: area = 1/2 x perimeter x apothegm. Here is what it means: Perimeter = the sum of the lengths of all the sides. Apothegm = a segment that joins the polygon's center to the midpoint of any side that is perpendicular to that side.
Answer:
4 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cookies he sold be c and that of brownies be b.
Assuming that brownies and cookies are the only type of baked goods sold,
b +c= 10 -----(1)
Amount of money received= $20
b(cost of brownie) +c(cost of cookie)= $20
2.50b +1.25c= 20 -----(2)
From (1): b= 10 -c -----(3)
Substitute (3) into (2):
2.50(10 -c) +1.25c= 20
Expand:
2.50(10) +2.50(-c) +1.25c= 20
25 -2.50c +1.25c= 20
-1.25c +25= 20
Being constants to 1 side:
-1.25c= 20 -25
-1.25c= -5
c= -5 ÷(-1.25)
c= 4
Thus, Joe sold 4 cookies.
The answer is option B
hope it helps!!
0.8 is greater than 0.08, the reason for that is that 0.8 is equal to 8/10=80/100 and 0.08 is equal to 8/100. As a percentage, 0.8 would be 80% and 0.08 would be equal to 8%.
