Answer:

There are 8 inventors.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let 's' be the salesperson
  • Let 'i' be the inventors

Given that there are 3 more than twice as many salespeople as inventors.

  • i.e s = 3+2i

Also given that the whole company has 27 employees.

i.e.

s + i = 27

substituting s = 3+2i

3 + 2i + i= 27

3 + 3i = 27

3i = 27 - 3

3i = 24

divide both sides by 3

i = 8

  • Thus, there are 8 inventors.

<u>VERIFICATION</u>

As the total number of employees is 27.

so the salespeople will be:

s = 3+2i

  = 3 + 2(8)

  = 3 + 16

  = 19

Thus, the total employees are verified as:

s + i = 27

19 + 8 = 27

27 = 27

Between 0 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, the volume V (in cubic centimeters) of 1 kg of water at a temperature T is giv
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

T = 3.967 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = mass / volume

Use the mass = 1kg and volume as the equation given V, we will come up with the following equation

D = 1 / 999.87−0.06426T+0.0085043T^2−0.0000679T^3

   = (999.87−0.06426T+0.0085043T^2−0.0000679T^3)^-1

Find the first derivative of D with respect to temperature T

dD/dT = \dfrac{70000000\left(291T^2-24298T+91800\right)}{\left(679T^3-85043T^2+642600T-9998700000\right)^2}

Let dD/dT = 0 to find the critical value we will get

\dfrac{70000000\left(291T^2-24298T+91800\right)}  = 0

Using formula of quadratic, we get the roots:

T =  79.53 and T = 3.967

Since the temperature is only between 0 and 30, pick T = 3.967

Find 2nd derivative to check whether the equation will have maximum value:

-\dfrac{140000000\left(395178T^4-65993368T^3+3286558821T^2+2886200857800T-121415215620000\right)}{\left(679T^3-85043T^2+642600T-9998700000\right)^3}

Substituting the value with T=3.967,

d2D/dT2 = -1.54 x 10^(-8)    a negative value. Hence It is a maximum value

Substitute T =3.967 into equation V, we get V = 0.001 i.e. the volume when the the density is the highest is at 0.001 m3 with density of

D = 1/0.001 = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore T = 3.967 C

What divisor is represented by the synthetic division below? A vertical line and horizontal line combine to make a L shape. Ther
g100num [7]

One of the ways of dividing polynomials is by synthetic division

The divisor of the synthetic division is x + 5

<h3>How to determine the divisor of the division</h3>

From the question, we understand that:

Entry -5 is on the outside to the left of the shape

The entry represents the zero of the divisor.

Next, we set this entry to the variable (assume the variable is x)

So, we have:

x = -5

Add 5 to both sides

x + 5= 0

Hence, the divisor of the synthetic division is x + 5
