Answer is C: 14
Explanation:
On the image added, the pounds of apples is half the cost. So if you would keep that same relationship and add $28.00 to one of the costs the outcome would be 14
You start off by multiplying the second bracket by -1 to get rid of the bracket.
So,
(2x3 + x2 - 4x) - 9x3 + 3x2 =
2x3 +x2 - 4x - 9x3 + 3x2 =
(2x3 - 9x3) + (x2 + 3x2) - 4x =
-7x3 + 4x2 - 4x
x=11.4242....
100x=1142.4242....
100x-x = 99x = 1131
x=1131/99 = 11 42/99 (unreduced) = 11 14/33 (reduced fraction)
Answer:
(x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'd use synthetic division instead. If we were to find the roots of the given polynomial, we could from them write the factors as well.
The divisor x + 5 corresponds to root x = -5. Setting up synthetic div.,
-5 ) 1 3 -13 -15
-5 10 +15
-----------------------------
1 -2 -3 0
Since the remainder is 0, we know that -5 is a root and (x + 5) is a factor. Moreover, we know that the coefficients of the quotient are 1, -2 and -3.
1x² - 2x - 3 can be factored: the factors are (x - 3) and (x + 1).
So the end result for this problem is (x - 3)(x + 1)(x + 5).
