Easy
find equation
y=mn+b
for n=0, y=130
130=m0+b
130=b

y=mn+130
also
n=4 for 146
146=4m+130
minus 130 both sides
16=4m
divide by 4 both sides
4=m


y=4n+130

find n for y=200

200=4n+130
minus 130 both sides
70=4n
divide both sides by 4
17.5=n

answer is 17.5 months

13.5 months

146-130=16

16/4=4

200-146=54

54/4=13.5

Consider the function f(x)=x3+15x2+74x+120. If f(x)=0 for x=−6, for what other values of x is the function equal to 0? List the
jasenka [17]

Answer:

other x values are -5,-4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=0 for x=−6

Apply synthetic division to get the quotient . using that we find other two values of x

-6                1           15             74          120

                   0          -6           - 54          -120                    

                  -------------------------------------------------

                    1           9             20         0

the quotient is x^2+9x+20=0

now factor the left hand side, product is 20 and sum is 9

x^2+9x+20=0\\(x+5)(x+4)=0\\x+5=0 , x=-5\\x+4=0, x=-4

So  other x values are -5,-4

satela [25.4K]
He bought 36 baseball cards. Since 3/4 of the 48 cards are baseball cards, you need to find 75% of 48, which is 75*48, which is 36 cards. Hope this helps.

jarptica [38.1K]
3 and 11 are the only two because 33 only has four factors: 1,3,11,33.
1 - in some cases people say this is prime, but it is now widely considered to not be a prime number
3 - prime
11- prime
33 - not prime, divisible by 3 and 11
