Answer:
a = - 2, b = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the values of the zeros into the polynomial and equate to zero.
x² +(a + 1)x + b
x = - 2 → (- 2)² - 2(a + 1) + b = 0 , that is
4 - 2a - 2 + b = 0
2 - 2a + b = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- 2a + b = - 2 → (1)
x = 3 → 3² + 3(a + 1) + b = 0, that is
9 + 3a + 3 + b = 0
12 + 3a + b = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
3a + b = - 12 → (2)
Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate b
5a = - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )
a = - 2
Substitute a = - 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for b
Substituting into (2)
3(- 2) + b = - 12
- 6 + b = - 12 ( add 6 to both sides )
b = - 6
Thus a = - 2 and b = - 6
About $73.05 or $73; multiply .335 with $54.72 then add that answer to $54.72
By simplifying the number given which is 8 2/3, we get an improper fraction of 26/3. Also, when we try to divide 26 by 3, we get an answer of 8.6667, with 6 as a repeating number after the decimal place. Therefore, this number is an example of real and rational number. Thus the answer is the second choice.
<span>Amount
of Rice (cups) Amount of Water (cups)
2 5
3 7.5
5 12.5
8 20
Let's find the ratio of rice and water:
5 / 2 = 2.5 => 2 * 5 = 5
7.5 / 3 = 2.5 => 3 * 2.5 = 7
12.5 / 5 = 2.5 => 5 * 2.5 = 12.5
20 / 8 = 2.5 => 8 * 2.5 = 20
So, as the ratio of water ot rice is constant, and the first variable is the amount of rice, you can calculate the amount of water given the amount of rice.
So, the amount of rice is independent value and the amount of water is dependent (it depends on the amount of rice).
The amount of rice is
the dependent value. FALSE
The amount of water is the dependent value.TRUE
The
amount of rice is the independent value. TRUE
The amount of water is the
independent value.</span>FALSE
