A fraction? I don't understand since it is not multiple choice.
Answer:
x = -1 ± √109
Step-by-step explanation:
2x • 3x + (2 • 3)x + 6x = 648
According to PEMDAS (parentheses/exponents | multiplication/division | addition/subtraction), we should solve the parentheses first.
(2 • 3) = 6
Now we have:
2x • 3x + (6)x + 6x = 648
Now let's multiply.
2x • 3x = 6x²
6 • x = 6x
Now we have.
6x² + 6x + 6x = 648
Combine like terms.
6x² + 12x = 648
Let's factor out a 6.
6(x² + 2x) = 648
Divide both sides by 6.
x² + 2x = 108
Let's use completing the square.
Our equation is in a² + bx = c form.
Divide b by 2.
2/2 = 1
Then square it.
1² = 1
Add 1 to both sides.
x² + 2x + 1 = 108 + 1
Simplify.
x² + 2x + 1 = 109
Now we want to factor the left side. A shortcut is just to use b/2.
(x + 1)² = 109
Take the square root of both sides.
x + 1 = ±√109
The square root is as simplified as possible.
Subtract 1 from both sides.
x = -1 ± √109
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The remainder = 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Remainder Theorem the remainder when the function is divided by
x - 1 is f(1).
f(1) = 4(1)^3 + 4(1)^2 + 2(1) + 3
= 4 + 4 + 2 + 3
= 13.
So x - 1 is not a factor of f(x).
If it was a factor the remainder would be 0.
Set up a proportional relationship:
xf/1n=(f/5)/(n/3)
xf/1n=3f/(5n) multiply both sides by 1n
xf=3f/5 so
x=3/5
Dave must mix in 3/5 of a cup of fruit with a single cup of nuts.
You could of also just noted that you need to multiply 1/5 times 3 because 1/5 mixes with just 1/3 of a cup of nuts...
