Answer:
x=499.83
y=500.16
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem with a system of equations:
The total quantity of Nerds in the box:
(1)
The amount of Nerds left in the box:
The number of portions Mrs. Konings has taken:
The amount of Nerds left in the box decreases by a third each time she dumps out a portion:
(2)
Substituting (2) in (1):
(3) This is the equation
Let's find :
(4)
Now let's find by substituting (4) in (2):
(5)
Answer:
w = 4
YZ = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, Y is a point lying between the points X and Z.
Therefore, relationship between the lengths of the segments will be,
length of segment XZ = length of XY + length of YZ
It's given in the question,
XZ = 12w - 8
YZ = 6w
XY = 4w
By substituting these values in the relation,
12w - 8 = 4w + 6w
12w - 8 = 10w
12w = 10w + 8
12w - 10w = 8
2w = 8
w = 4
Since, YZ = 6w
Therefore, YZ = 24
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
The function with the given zeros will factor as ...
f(x) = a(x +15)(x^2 +9) . . . . with leading coefficient 'a'
You have ...
f(2) = 221 = a(2+15)(2^2+9) = a(17)(13) = 221a
Then a = 221/221 = 1
The leading coefficient is 1.

<em>Additional comment</em>
As you know, a function with zero x=p has a factor of (x -p). The given zeros mean the function has factors (x -(-15)), (x -3i). and (x -(-3i)). The product of the last two factors is the difference of squares: (x^2 -(3i)^2) = (x^2 -(-9)) = (x^2 +9). This is how we arrived at the factorization shown above.
