Answer:

  16 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert can group his coins into groups consisting of 1 nickel and 4 pennies. The value of each group is 9¢, so the number of groups Robert can make is ...

  $1.44/$0.09 = 16 . . . groups

Since there is 1 nickel in each group, Robert has 16 nickels.

Find a factorization of x² + 2x³ + 7x² - 6x + 44, given that<br> −2+i√√7 and 1 - i√/3 are roots.
Levart [38]

A factorization of x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 is (x^2+4x+11)(x^2-2x+4).

<h3>What are the properties of roots of a polynomial?</h3>
  • The maximum number of roots of a polynomial of degree n is n.
  • For a polynomial with real coefficients, the roots can be real or complex.
  • The complex roots of a polynomial with real coefficients always exist in a pair of conjugate numbers i.e., if a+ib is a root, then a-ib is also a root.

If the roots of the polynomial p(x)=ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e are r_1,r_2,r_3,r_4, then it can be factorized as p(x)=(x-r_1)(x-r_2)(x-r_3)(x-r_4).

Here, we are to find a factorization of p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44. Also, given that -2+i\sqrt{7} and 1-i\sqrt{3} are roots of the polynomial.

Since p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 is a polynomial with real coefficients, so each complex root exists in a pair of conjugates.

Hence, -2-i\sqrt{7} and 1+i\sqrt{3} are also roots of the given polynomial.

Thus, all the four roots of the polynomial p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44, are: r_1=-2+i\sqrt{7}, r_2=-2-i\sqrt{7}, r_3=1-i\sqrt{3}, r_4=1+i\sqrt{3}.

So, the polynomial p(x)=x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 can be factorized as follows:

\{x-(-2+i\sqrt{7})\}\{x-(-2-i\sqrt{7})\}\{x-(1-i\sqrt{3})\}\{x-(1+i\sqrt{3})\}\\=(x+2-i\sqrt{7})(x+2+i\sqrt{7})(x-1+i\sqrt{3})(x-1-i\sqrt{3})\\=\{(x+2)^2+7\}\{(x-1)^2+3\}\hspace{1cm} [\because (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2]\\=(x^2+4x+4+7)(x^2-2x+1+3)\\=(x^2+4x+11)(x^2-2x+4)

Therefore, a factorization of x^4+2x^3+7x^2-6x+44 is (x^2+4x+11)(x^2-2x+4).

How can you determine the difference between an arithmetic and geometric sequence if you are given the first 4 terms of the sequ
Bess [88]
Compute successive differences of the terms.

If they are all the same, the sequence is arithmetic and the common difference is the difference you have found.

If successive pairs of differences have the same ratio, the sequence is geometric and the common ratio is the ratio you have determined.


Example of arithmetic sequence:
  1, 3, 5, 7
Successive differences are 3-1 = 2, 5-3 = 2, 7-5 = 2. All the differences are 2, which is the common difference of the sequence.

Example of geometric sequence:
  1, -3, 9, -27
Successive differences are -3-1 = -4, 9-(-3) = 12, -27-9 = -36. These are not the same, so the sequence is not arithmetic. Ratios of successive pairs of differences are 12/-4 = -3, -36/12 = -3. These are the same, so the sequence is geometric with common ratio -3.

In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 5 ft and casts a shadow 3 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shad
leva [86]
The tree is 25 feet tall. Given the height of the stick and the shadow it cast, the angle formed by the sun and the stick's height can be obtained by taking the Inverse Tangent of 3/5. This is equal to 30.93. This angle is equal to the angle formed by the sun and the tree's height. Using the tangent formula, Tan (30.93)=tree's shadow (15 ft)/ height of the tree, giving the answer 25 feet.

Two trucks leave a warehouse at the same time. one travels due west at an average speed of 49 miles per hour, and the other trav
Gre4nikov [31]

Well there can be two different solutions for this but i will choose the easier one. Obviously one requires a system of equations which obviously will involve a lot of thinking and some good algebra solving in order for them to solve.

So we can just keep adding the distance as we know they are in different directions. 49 + 65 = 114. So 114 * 4.5 = 513 miles. SO after around 4.5 hours they will be 513 miles apart.
