Use the Factor Theorem to prove x^3 - 13x - 12 is divisible by x^2 – X – 12

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove that:

[tex]x^3-13x-12\text{ is divisible by } x^2-x-12[/tex]

We can factor the divisor:

[tex]x^2-x-12=(x-4)(x+3)[/tex]

According to the Factor Theorem, if we have a polynomial P(x) divided by a binomial in the form of (x - a) and if P(a) = 0, then the binomial is a factor of P(x).

Our two binomial factors our (x - 4) and (x + 3). Thus, a = 4 and a = -3.

Evaluate the polynomial for both of these factors:

[tex]P(4)=(4)^3-13(4)-12=0[/tex]

And:

[tex]P(-3)=(-3)^3-13(-3)-12=0[/tex]

Since both yielded zero, the original polynomial is divisible by both (x - 4) and (x + 3) or x² - x - 12. Hence:

[tex]x^3-13x-12\text{ is indeed divisible by } x^2-x-12[/tex]

A group of 2 adults and 4 children spent $38 on tickets to a museum. A group of 3 adults and 3 children spent $40.50 on tickets to the museum. Based on this information, how much is an adult ticket, and how much is a child ticket?

Answers

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x.

Let the price of 1 child ticket = y.

2x + 4y = 38

3x + 3y = 40.5

Multiply the first equation by 3. Multiply the second equation by -2. Then add them.

         6x + 12y = 114

(+)      -6x - 6y = -81

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

                  6y = 33

y = 33/6

y = 5.5

2x + 4y = 38

2x + 4(5.5) = 38

2x + 22 = 38

2x = 16

x = 8

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

Answer:

An adult ticket is $8.00 and a child's ticket is $5.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

We form a system of 2 equations and solve them.

Let a be the price of adult ticket and c the price of a child's.

2a + 4c = 38         (A)

3a + 3c = 40.5      (B)

Multiply equation A by 3 and equation B by -2:

6a + 12c = 114

-6a - 6c = -81        Adding these 2 equations:

0 + 6c = 33

c = 33/6 = 5.5.

Now we substitute for c in equation A:

2a + 4(5.5) = 38

2a = 38 - 22

2a = 16

a = 6.

Let's now check these results by substitution in equation B:

3a + 3c = 40.5

3(8) + 3(5.5) = 24.0 + 16.5 = 40.5

- so it checks out.

Show and explain all of the steps used in order to simplify the following rational expression 3x^(2)-3x / 3x^(3)-6x^(2)+3x to 1 / x-1.

Answers

Answer:

3x^2 + x^4 - x^3 + 3 - 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Find Least Common Multiplier of 3x^(2)-3x / 3x^(3)-6x^(2)+3x to 1 / x-1

3x^2 - 3 . x/3 x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x

Apply exponent rule: a^b + c = a^b a^c

x^2 = xx, x^3 x/3 = xx^2, x^2 = xx

= 3xx - 3xxx - 6xx + 3x

Rewrite -6 as 2 . 3

= 3xx - 3xxx + 2 . 3xx + 3x

Factor out common term 3x

= 3x(x - x^2(x/3) -2x + 1)

= 3x(- x^3/3 - x + 1)

Multiply each factor with the highest power:

(- x^3/3 - x + 1) . 3 . (1/x - 1\) . x

Simplify

3x^2 + x^4 - x^3 + 3 - 6x

A student buys 5-cent, 10-cent, and 15-cent stamps, with a total value of $6.70. If the
number of 5-cent stamps is 2 more than the number of 10-cent stamps, while the
number of 15-cent stamps is 5 more than one half the number of 10-cent stamps, how
many 15-cent stamps did the student obtain?

Answers

The value of the 10 cent stamps is, as you said, , the value of the 5 cent stamps is and the value of the 15 cent stamps is 15(0.5n + 5). These three values add up to the total value of the stamps, namely $6.70.

10n + 5(n+2) + 15 (1/2n + 5) = 6.70

10n +5n + 10 + 15/2n + 75 =670

10n + 5n + 15/2n =585

20n + 10n + 15n = 1170

45n = 1170

Melinda walked to the mall at 4 miles per hour and then rode back home in a bus at 24 miles per hour. If her total traveling time was 14 hours, how far was it to the mall?

Answers

Given:

Melinda walked to the mall at 4 miles per hour and then rode back home in a bus at 24 miles per hour.

Total traveling time was 14 hours.

To find:

The distance between Melinda's house and mall.

Solution:

Formula used:

[tex]Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

Let x miles be the distance between Melinda's house and mall.

Melinda walked to the mall at 4 miles per hour. So, the time taken by Melinda is [tex]\dfrac{x}{4}[/tex] hours.

Speed of bus is 24 miles per hour. So, the time taken by bus is [tex]\dfrac{x}{24}[/tex] hours.

Total traveling time was 14 hours.

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4}+\dfrac{x}{24}=14[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6x+x}{24}=14[/tex]

[tex]7x=14\times 24[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7.

[tex]\dfrac{7x}{7}=\dfrac{14\times 24}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x=2\times 24[/tex]

[tex]x=48[/tex]

Therefore, the mall is 48 miles far from Melinda's house.

Six teachers and 12 students volunteer for a committee to discuss extra-curricular activities. How many committees of 5 people can be made if:

a) there must be exactly 3 students on the committee

b) there must be at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee

Answers

Answer:

a) 11,880

b) 7,770

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of teachers that volunteer = 6 teachers

The number of students that volunteer = 12 students

The number of people in the committee = 5 people

a) The exact number of student on the committee = 3 student

Therefore, the number of teachers in the committee of 5 = 5 - 3 = 2

The number of teachers in the committee = 2 teachers

We get;

The number of committees that can be made = ₁₂C₃ × ₆C₂ = 792×15 = 11,880

b) When there is at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee, we have;

₁₂C₄ × ₆C₁ + ₁₂C₃ × ₆C₂ + ₁₂C₂ × ₆C₃ + ₁₂C₁ × ₆C₄ = 7,770

The number of committees having at least one teacher and at least one student = 7,770

Candice bought 6 dozen eggs and broke 9 eggs how many eggs did she have left

Answers

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

12x6=72

72-9=63

the answer is 63

Answer: 63 eggs


Step 1: Find initial amount of eggs

Before we can solve for how many eggs are left, we must first find out how many eggs Candice initially had. We are told she bought six dozen eggs. Since a dozen is twelve, we can find out how many eggs she had by multiplying twelve and six. Let’s do this now.

6×12= 72

Step 2: Find solution

Now let’s solve for how many eggs Candice has left. We know that she bought 72 eggs, and that she broke 9. To find the answer, we need to subtract 9 from 72.

72-9= 63

1) Se o 5o e o 9-o termos de uma PA são, respectivamente, 40 e 68, então a razão r da progressão é: a) r = 6 b) r = 7 c) r = 9 d) r = 11 e) r = 12 2) Inserindo-se 6 números entre 72 e 107, de modo que a sequência (72, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7 ,107) seja uma progressão aritmética, tem-se a3 igual a: a) 78 b) 79 c) 80 d) 81 e) 82

Answers

Answer:

1) b) r = 7

2) e) 82

Step-by-step explanation:

Progressão aritmética:

Em uma progressão aritmética, a diferença entre termos consecutivos é sempre a mesma, chamada de razão.

O n-ésimo termo de uma PA é dado por, tomando o primeiro termo como referência:

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)r[/tex]

Tomando o m-ésimo termo como referência, tem-se que:

[tex]a_n = a_m + (n-m)r[/tex]

1) Se o 5o e o 9-o termos de uma PA são, respectivamente, 40 e 68, então a razão r da progressão é:

[tex]a_5 = 40, a_9 = 68[/tex]. Então:

[tex]a_n = a_m + (n-m)r[/tex]

[tex]68 = 40 + 4r[/tex]

[tex]4r = 28[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{28}{4} = 7[/tex]

Então a resposta correta é dada pela alternativa b.

2) Inserindo-se 6 números entre 72 e 107, de modo que a sequência (72, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7 ,107) seja uma progressão aritmética, tem-se a3 igual a:

O primeiro termo é [tex]a_1 = 72[/tex] e o oitavo termo é [tex]a_8 = 107[/tex]. Com isso, é possível encontrar a razão.

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)r[/tex]

[tex]107 = 72 + 7r[/tex]

[tex]7r = 35[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{35}{7} = 5[/tex]

Então, o terceiro termo é:

[tex]a_3 = a_1 + 2r = 72 + 2(5) = 82[/tex]

Logo, a resposta correta é dada pela alternativa e.
