Triple a number decreased by 14

1 answer:

3 0

Since we know 14, but we don't know the other number, we use a variable. To do that, we look at the problem, then we figure out the unknown. The unknown is: A number. We know 14. Since "Triple" means 3, we can put the exponent 3 by X.

Therefore, the answer is $X^3-14$ .

Yuri thinks that 3/4 is a root of the following function. q(x) = 6x3 + 19x2 – 15x – 28 Explain to Yuri why 3/4 cannot be a root.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yuri is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is q(x) = 6x³ + 19x² - 15x - 28

If 'a' is a root of the given function, then by substituting x = a in the expression, q(a) = 0

Similarly, for x = $\frac{3}{4}$ ,

$q(\frac{3}{4})=6(\frac{3}{4})^3+19(\frac{3}{4})^2-15(\frac{3}{4})-28$

= $6(\frac{27}{64})+19(\frac{9}{16})-15(\frac{3}{4})-28$

= $(\frac{162}{64})+(\frac{171}{16})-(\frac{45}{4})-28$

= $(\frac{162}{64})+(\frac{684}{64})-(\frac{720}{64})-\frac{1792}{64}$

= $-\frac{1666}{64}$

= $-\frac{833}{32}$ ≠ 0

Therefore, Yuri is not correct. x = $\frac{3}{4}$ can not be a root of the given expression.

ASAP HELP FOR NUMBER 12, Thank you so much!!! :)

qaws [65]

12a)
5x + 45 + 3x - 25 = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20

12b)
2x - 5 = 2(20) - 5 = 40 - 5 = 35
3x - 25 = 3(20) - 25 = 60 - 25 = 35

y = 180 - (35+35)
y = 180 - 70
y = 110
