Answer:

7 and 34

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the 2 numbers with x > y

The 2 equations to solve are

x = 4y + 6 → (1)

x + y = 41 → (2)

Substitute x = 4y + 6 into (2)

4y + 6 + y = 41 , that is

5y + 6 = 41 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

5y = 35 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 7

Substitute y = 7 into (1)

x = 4(7) + 6 = 28 + 6 = 34

The 2 numbers are 7 and 34

all the coordinates of the original triangle have been multiplied by 1/2

A (-4,-6) x 1/2 = -2,-3

B (-8,2) * 1/2 = -4,1

C (-2,4) *1/2 = -1,2

so the scale factor is 1/2

Answer is B

Tom [10]

Answer:

(22,2) and (18,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Heyyyy so the equation is y=24-x

So let's do 24-x to get y

24-18=6

Same thing

24-22=2

I also did this on Khan so yeah its right :D

telo118 [61]

5 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 16

16 - 4 = 12

12/16 = 3/4

The probability that the toy will not be green is 3/4.

Is (x + 7) a factor of f(x) = x^3 − 3x^2 + 2^x − 8? Use either the remainder theorem or the factor theorem to explain your reaso

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Not a factor

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Factor Theorem to answer this question. According to this theorem, in order to find if (x - a) is a factor of a polynomial f(x), calculate f(a). If f(a) comes out to be equal to zero, this will mean that (x-a) is factor of f(x).

Here, the expression we have is (x + 7), so we need to find f(-7) in order to check if (x+7) is a factor of f(x) or not

$f(x)=x^{3}-3x^{2}+2x-8$

Substituting x = -7, we get:

$f(-7)=(-7)^{3}-3(-7)^{2}+2(-7)-8\\\\ f(-7)=-512$

Since f(-7) ≠ 0, (x + 7) is not a factor of the polynomial f(x)
