A relationship between two variables in which the product is a constant. When one variable increases the other decreases in proportion so that the product is unchanged. If b is inversely proportional to a, the equation is of the form b = k/a (where k is a constant). Equation: y = 60/x
Answer:
x=0 x=3 x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x)= 3x^3 – 3x^2– 18x
Factor out the greatest common factor, 3x
p(x)= 3x (x^2 – x– 6)
Factor inside the parentheses
What 2 numbers multiplies to -6 and adds to -1
-3*2 = -6
-3+2 = -1
p(x)= 3x (x-3)(x+2)
Setting the function equal to zero to find the zeros
0 = 3x (x-3)(x+2)
Using the zero product property
3x = 0 x-3 =0 x+2 =0
x=0 x=3 x=-2
Second binomial formula
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(3x - 4)^2 = (3x)^2 - 2 × 3x × (-4) + (-4)^2
=9x^2 + 24x - 16
Answer:
- Walnuts - $1.25, chocolate chips - $3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let walnuts = x, chocolate chips = y
<u>Set a system and solve:</u>
<u>Double the first equation and subtract the second one from it:</u>
- 6x + 10y - 6x - 2y = 40 - 14
- 8y = 26
- y = 26/8
- y = 3.25
<u>Find the value of x:</u>
- 6x + 3.25*2 = 14
- 6x = 14 - 6.5
- 6x = 7.5
- x = 7.5/6
- x = 1.25
