Given that -5 is a zero of the polynomial P(x) = x³ + 3x²-12x-10, find the other zeros.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

If -5 is one of the roots then that means  (x+5) is one of the factors

divide (x+5) into x^3 + 3x^2 -12x -10

to get   x^2-2x-2   which you can easily  (using Quadratic Formula) find the roots       1 + sqrt 3   and        1 -sqrt 3

('roots'   and 'zeroes'   are the same thing)

C(25)=$



c. Suppose the maximum cost allowed is $1900 . What are the domain and range of the cost function, C(x) ?

Domain:
Range:

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

when we give a function an actual value as argument, we are using the variable(s) in the functional definition as intended : as placeholders for actual values.

so, we only need to replace any occurrence of the variable by the actual value and calculate.

a.

zero items are produced means x = 0.

C(0) = 10×0 + 900 = $900

fixed cost = $900

b.

making 25 items means x = 25.

C(25) = 10×25 + 900 = 250 + 900 = $1,150

c.

the domain is the interval or set of all valid values for x.

the range is the interval or set of all valid values for y (the functional result).

now, the maximum cost allowed is $1900.

how many items are that ?

1900 = 10x + 900

1000 = 10x

x = 100

so, the domain is

0 <= x <= 100

the range is

$900 <= y <= $1900

Answers

For given functions  f(x)= x^2 +2x-8 and g(x)= x+2,

(fog)(x) = x^2 + 6x

For given functions f(x)= x^2 +2x-8 and g(x)= x+2,

we need to find (fog)(x).

We know that the composition of function f(x) and g(x) would be,

= f(x + 2)

= (x + 2)^2 + 2(x + 2) - 8

same price and all the cassette tapes are the same price, find the cost of each CD and
each cassette tape.

Answers

The cost of each CD is $21 and the cost of each cassette tape is $11.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

Todd purchased two CDs and three cassette tapes for $75. Paulena went to the same music store and purchased one CD and five cassette tapes for $76.

Now, let's take the cost of each CD to be $x and the cost of each cassette tape to be $y.

So, we have the following expressions:

2x+3y = 75 ..(1)

x+5y = 76

x = 76-5y ..(2)

Putting the value of x in equation 1:

2(76-5y)+3y = 75

152-10y+3y = 75

152-7y = 75

Subtracting 152 from both sides:

-7y = 75-152

-7y = -77

y = 77/7

y = $11

Putting this value in equation 2:

x = 76-5y

x = 76-5*11

x = 76-55

x = $21

Hence, the cost of each CD is $21 and the cost of each cassette tape is $11.

The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2: A coordinate plane graph is shown. A horizontal line is graphed passing through the y-axis at y = 6. Function 2 y = 2x + 7 How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1? (4 points) a 1 b 2 c 3 d 4

Answers

The rate of change of function 2 is greater than the rate of change (slope) of function 1 by: B. 2.

How to determine the difference in the rate of change?

Since the line on this graph is perpendicular to the y-axis (horizontal line), we can reasonably and logically deduce that its rate of change (slope) is equal to zero (0) because there is no change in the y-value on the y-axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rate of change (slope) of function 1 (y = 6) with an horizontal line is equal to zero (0).

Next, we would calculate the rate of change (slope) of function 2 i.e y = 2x + 7. Mathematically, the standard form of the equation of a straight line function is given by;

y = mx + c

Where:

m represents the slope.x and y are the points.c represents the y-intercept.

By comparing the two (2) equations, we have the following:

y = mx + c  ≡ y = 2x + 7

Therefore, the rate of change (slope) of function 2 is equal to 2.

Now, we can calculate the difference between the rate of change (slope) of function 2 and the rate of change (slope) of function 1 as follows:

Difference = 2 - 0

Answers

If annual fundraising goal of a is​ $100,000 and so far ​$46,088 has been raised, then they have to raise $53912 to reach the goal

The goal of the annual fund raising = $100000

The raised amount = $46088

The amount of money needed to reach the goal = The goal of the annual fund raising - The raised amount

Here we have to use the subtraction

Substitute the values in the equation

The amount of money needed to reach the goal  = 100000 - 46088

Answers

The percent increase in the median monthly rent prices from 2005 to 2010, using proportions, was of:

What is a proportion?

A proportion represents a fraction relative to a total amount, and this fraction is combined with the basic arithmetic operations, especially multiplication and division, to find the desired amounts in the context of a problem.

One application of proportions is to obtain the percent increase in the context of a problem, as it is calculated as the division of the increase by the total amount and multiplied by 100%.

The parameters to obtain the percent increase in the context of this problem are given as follows:

Initial amount: $694.Increase: 810 - 694 = $116.

Hence the percent increase in the median monthly rent prices from 2005 to 2010 is calculated as follows:

What are Equivalent Algebraic expression?

Two expressions are equivalent if they can be simplified to the same third expression or if one of the expressions can be written like the other. In addition, you can also determine if two expressions are equivalent when values are substituted in for the variable and both arrive at the same answer.

2x - 3 can be written by expressing -3 as a sum of two numbers in which one of the numbers is -2, those two numbers are -1 and -2

so that,

2x -2 -1

now we can factorize 2x -2, which is 2(x - 1)

Finally the expression becomes 2( x - 1) -1

To check that it is equivalent we substitute any number in to 2( x -1 ) -1 and 2x - 3, if it gives same answer, then they are equivalent.

using x = 1

2( 1 - 1) -1 = -1

2(1) -3 = -1

Answer:

There are 105 boxes in all. If the truck is carrying a total of 3, 875 pounds in boxes, how many of each type of box is it carrying?

50 large boxes

55 small boxes


55 large boxes
50 small boxes


First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:
Let x = number of large boxes
y = number of small boxes

"There are 105 boxes in all" means x + y = 115 [eq1]

Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:
(pounds per box)*(number of boxes)

So,
pounds for large boxes + pounds for small boxes = 7,875 pounds
"the truck is carrying a total of 7,875 pounds in boxes"

(50)*(x) + (25)*(y) = 7,875) eq2]

It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables.

Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2. Let's solve for x:
x = 105 - y [from eq1]

50(105-y) + 25y = 4125 [from eq2]
5750 - 50y + 25y = 4125 [distribute]
5750 - 25y = 4125
-25y = -1625
y = 65 [divide both sides by (-25)]

There are 50 small boxes.

Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:
x = 115 - y
x = 115 - 65
x = 50

There are 55 large boxes.

Check (very important):

Is 50+65 = 115 ? [eq1]
115 = 115 ?yes
Is 50(50) + 25(65) = 4125 ?
2500 + 1625 = 4125 ?
4125 = 4125 ? yes
