7, 11, 2, 18. What number continues the pattern?

Mathematics

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Seems like the pattern is adding and then subtracting the next square number up:

7 + 4 = 11

11 - 9 = 2

2 + 16 = 18

so 18 - 25 = -7 is the next number

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.

What is 24.2% of 120
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

29.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply: 120*.242=29.04

It's multiplied by .242 bc if you want to turn a percentage into a decimal you need to move the decimal twice to the left. So, 24.2 becomes .242.
