Answer:
a = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given x = - 2 is a root then f(- 2) = 0
f(x) = x³ + x² + ax - 4, thus
f(- 2) = (- 2)³ + (- 2)² - 2a - 4 = 0, that is
f(- 2) = - 8 + 4 - 2a - 4 = 0, thus
- 8 - 2a = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 2a = 8 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
a = - 4
Divide 5/8 by 150, to see how thick each is, that'll give you 150 even pieces that add up to 5/8
To find a percentage of a number, you divide by that number.
So to find what percent of 150 162 is, you divide 162 by 150
162 ÷ 150 = 1.08
Now, to find the percentage, we take the decimal and move the point two places to the right.
1.08 = 108%
162 is 108% of 150.
the bag of rice weighs 4.5 pounds
Multiply 4.5 with 16 oz (as 1 lb = 16 oz)
4.5 x 16 = 72.
The bag of rice has 72 oz of rice inside.
The recipe only needs 60 oz of rice ∴ True, you will have enough, with 12 oz left over.
hope this helps
