Answer:

Larger number = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Larger number = y

y - x = 8    -----------(I)

3y = 4x  ---------------(II)

3y/4 = x

Plug in x = 3y/4 in equation (I)

y - \frac{3}{4}y = 8\\\\\frac{4}{4}y - \frac{3}{4}y = 8\\\\\frac{1}{4}y = 8\\

 y = 8*4

  y = 32

Plug in y = 32 in equation (II)

3y = 4x

3*32 = 4x

4x = 3*32

x = \frac{3*32}{4}

x = 3 *8

x = 24

Find the markup and the cost of the following item. Round answers to the nearest cent.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

1st question: M=22.62 while C=75.38

2nd question: M=.22 while C=1.97

Step-by-step explanation:

If a mirror costing x dollars is marked up 30%, then we have to find x such that 30%x+x is 98 dollars.

We are solving:

.3x+x=98

Combine like terms:

1.3x=98

Divide both sides by 1.3:

x=75.38

M=98-75.38=22.62

C=75.38

So M=22.62 while C=75.38.

If ream of paper cost x and is marked up 11%, then we have to find x such that 11%x+x is 2.19.

We are solving:

.11x+x=2.19

1.11x=2.19

x=1 97

M=2.19-1.97=.22

So M=.22 while C=1.97

What is the polynomial function of lowest degree with lead coefficient 1 and roots 1 and 1 + i?
astra-53 [7]

x³ - 3x² + 4x - 2

complex roots occur in conjugate pairs

1 + i is a root then so is 1 - i

the factors of the polynomial are therefore

f(x) = (x - 1 )(x - (1 + i))(x - (1 - i))

     = (x - 1 )(x² - 2x + 2 ) ( expand factors and simplify )

     = x³ - 3x² + 4x - 2
