Answer:
7 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3 brothers
First , Second, Third
Let the total number cookies be represented by A
1 cookie = 1
Working backwards, we start from the third brother
If we work backwards
It means he gave everything away
We start from the youngest
He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie
This means,
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The second brother
He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies
Half of what is left from brother
= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie
= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2
= 1.5 + 1/2
= 2 cookies
For the first brother
He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie
= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies
= 3 1/2 + 1/2
= 4 cookies
The first brother got 4 cookies
The second brother got 2 cookies
The third broth got 1 cookies
The length of pencil A is 5 cm
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the length of pencil A be "x"
Let the length of pencil B be "y"
Let the length of pencil C be "z"
<em><u>The total length of pencils A, B and C is 29 cm</u></em>
Therefore,
length of pencil A + length of pencil B + length of pencil C = 29
x + y + z = 29 ------------ eqn 1
<em><u>Pencil A is 11 cm shorter then pencil B</u></em>
x = y - 11 ------- eqn 2
<em><u>Pencil B is twice as long a pencil C</u></em>
y = 2z
------ eqn 3
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 and eqn 3 in eqn 1</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute y = 16 in eqn 2</u></em>
x = 16 - 11
x = 5
Thus length of pencil A is 5 cm
Answer:
height = (x^3 – 3x^2 + 5x – 3) / (x^2 – 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is the product of its base area and height
Volume_prism = area_base * height
height = Volume_prism / area_base
Volume_prism = (x^3 – 3x^2 + 5x – 3)
area_base = (x^2 – 2)
height = Volume_prism / area_base
height = (x^3 – 3x^2 + 5x – 3) / (x^2 – 2)

Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look through the data, it is clear that 46, 59, 63, 68, 72, 76, 78, 85, and 89 are all less than 90. There are <em>9 elements total </em>that are less than 90.
For percentages, you take the number you have and divide by the total. Since we know that there are 15 students, we can do 9 / 15. This gives us 0.6 which is 60%
x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 45 = 0
It is a polynomial of degree three, therefore, it has three roots.
For this case, what we can do is factorize to write the polynomial in an easier way and thus be able to find the roots.
Factoring we have:
(x - 5) (x ^ 2 + 9) = 0
x = 5
x = 3i
x = -3i
Answer:
three roots:
x = 5
x = 3i
x = -3i
