Consider p(x)=3x^3+ax+5a, a is an element of the integers.
The polynomial p(x) leaves a remainder of -7 when divided by (x-a). Show that only one value of a satisfies the above condition and state it’s value.

Answers

Answer 1

By the remainder theorem,

p(a) = 3a³ + a² + 5a = -7

so that

3a³ + a² + 5a + 7 = 0

Since you know a is an integer, you can try to factorize this, or use the rational root theorem to generate a list of potential rational roots, and from there you'd select the integer roots. The rational ones are of the form m/n, where m divides the constant term 7 and n divides the leading coefficient 3. They are

a = ± 1 or ± 1/3 or ± 7 or ±7/3

so there are 4 integer candidates,

a = -1 or 1 or -7 or 7

Check the value of f(a) = 3a³ + a² + 5a + 7 at each of these:

a = -1   →   f(a) = 0

a = 1   →   f(a) = 16

a = -7   →   f(a) = -1008

a = 7   →   f(a) = 1120

and only a = -1 is a root of 3a³ + a² + 5a + 7, so that's your answer. In fact,

3a³ + a² + 5a + 7 = (a + 1) (3a² - 2a + 7)

If r is the radius of a circle and d is its diameter, which of the following is an
equivalent formula for the circumference C = 2 pie r?

A. C= pie d
B. C= 2 pie d
C. C=2 pie d^2
D. C = 2 pie rd

because r is 1/2 of d so you would have 1 d instead of 2 r

Holly begins with 1 penny in her piggy bank. She adds 2 pennies on day 1, 4 pennies on day 2, and 8 pennies on day 3. She continues this pattern for 30 days.

Which statement describes why this sequence is a function?

Select EACH correct answer.

a Each amount of pennies corresponds to a unique day in this sequence.
b The graph of this sequence would pass the horizontal line test.
c Each day corresponds to a unique amount of pennies in this sequence.
d The graph of this sequence would pass the vertical line test.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is c and b

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test

Options B, C and D are correct.

The Graph of this sequence would pass the horizontal line test.Each day corresponds to a unique amount of pennies in this   sequence.The Graph of this sequence would pass the vertical line test.

We have Holly and her penny collection.

We have to select the correct alternatives from the given.

Starting from 1 marble if you add 'x' marble every day for n days, then you have a total of 40 marbles. Find n.

1 + nx = 40

nx = 39

n = 39/x

According to the question-

Initial Amount in piggy bank = 1 penny.

Now -

She adds -

2 Pennies on Day 1.

4 Pennies on Day 2.

8 Pennies on Day 3.

Therefore, the following sequence represents her collection -

1, 2, 4, 8 .....

It can be seen that each day corresponds to a unique amount of pennies in this sequence.

Now -

Vertical line test → to satisfy this test the graph should not have two or more points going through a vertical line.

Horizontal Line test → to clear this test the graph should not have two or more points going through a Horizontal line.

If we plot the graph of this function - Refer to image attached. It can be seen that the graph of this sequence passes horizontal line and vertical line test.

Hence, Options B, C and D are correct.

A series is defined by 5+9+13+17+.......+805 a. Find the number of terms of the series. b. Find the sum of the first 20 terms.​

Answers

Answer: the number of terms of the series is 201 numbers

              the sum of the first 20 terms is 890    

the number of terms of the series is [tex]\frac{805-5}{4}+1=201[/tex]

the series have:

u1 = 5

d = 4

=> u(n) = 5 + 4.(n - 1)

=> u(20) = 5 + 19.4 = 81

so the sum of the first 20 terms is (81 + 5).20/2 = 890

( u1 is the first number of the series, d is the  distance between front and rear numbers, u(n) is the overall term of the sequence, u(20) is the 20th of the series)

Consider a large population with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 21. A random sample of size 36 is taken from this population. The standard error of the sampling distribution of sample mean.

Answers

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Population mean (m) = 100

Standard deviation (σ) = 21

Sample size (n) = 36

The standard error of the sampling distribution of sample mean :

Standard Error is given by:

Standard deviation / sqrt(n)

Thus,

Standard Error = 21 / sqrt(36)

Standard Error = 21 / 6

Standard Error = 3.5

Find the equation of the straight line which is perpendicular to the straight line 3x+4y=12 such that perpendicular distance from the origin is equal to the perpendicular distance from (3,2) on the given line

Answers

Answer:

3y-4x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the slope of the given line;

Given the equation of the line 3x+4y=12

Rewrite in standard form y = mx+c where m is the slope;

3x+4y=12

4y = -3x + 12

y = -3x/4 + 12/4

y = -3x/4 + 3

Hence the slope of the given line is -3/4

Since the required line is perpendicular to this line, the slope of the required line will be M = -1/(-3/4) = 4/3

Get the equation:

Substitute M = 4/3 and the point (3,2) into the point slope equation of a line as shown;

y-y0 = m(x-x0)

y - 2 = 4/3(x-3)

Cross multiply

3(y-2) = 4(x-3)

3y - 6 = 4x - 12

3y - 4x = -12 + 6

3y-4x = -6

Hence the required equation of the line is 3y-4x = -6

Betty is three times as old as her son now. In 12 years, Betty's age will be three years less than twice her son's age. How old is Betty's son now?

Answers

Answer:

Betty is 27. Her son is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use b to represent Betty's age. We will use s to represent her son's age.

This year:

b = 3s

In 12 years' time:

b + 12 = 2(s + 12) - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 24 - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 21

b = 2s + 9

We know that b = 3s, so we can substitute this value into our equation.

3s = 2s + 9

s = 9

b = 3 x 9

b = 27

7. You are ordering sweaters from American Eagle. Each sweater costs $25. They also charge a shipping fee of $7. You spent. $132 How many sweaters?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, after reading this problem, let’s highlight some key points. Each sweater costs $25, we can write that down as 25x because will represent the amount of sweaters we buy. But we have a shipping fee of $7, so we will +7 to our highlights. And the total money spent was $132.

So far, we have: 25x + 7 = 132

Let’s subtract the 7 from the 132. Now we have: 25x = 125

Then we can divide by 25 on each side, and get x by itself.

X = 5 sweaters.

BONUS: Let’s replace 5 for our x to prove our answer

25(5) + 7 = 132 >>> 125 + 7 = 132 >>> 132 = 132 :D

There you go!! We buy 5 sweaters from American Eagle..!

A clearance rack is marked as 60% off the regular price to be taken at the register. If a jacket on the clearance rack is marked $239.99, what will it ring up for at the register

Answers

Answer:

$399.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Mark down percent = 60%

Mark down price = $239.99

Required

Original price of the rack

Let x be the original price of the product. The equation to get x is as expressed below;

60% of x = 239.99

0.6x = 239.99

x = 239.99/0.6

x = 399.98

Hence the rack will ring up for $399.98 at the register

Problem 1: Bob’s Citrus and Nursery sells cartons of citrus fruits. There are 24 oranges in each carton. They have 5,643 oranges to pack into cartons. How many cartons can they fill?

Problem 2: This year, 4,338 grapefruits have been harvested so far. Bob’s has 18 storage bins for grapefruits. If the grapefruits are distributed evenly among 18 bins, how many grapefruits are in each bin?
248 per bin.

Answers

The number of cartons that the oranges would fill in  Bob’s Citrus and Nursery would be 235 cartons.

The number of grapefruits in each bin would be 241 grapefruits per bin.

How to find the number of cartons ?

To find the number of cartons of oranges that would be filled, use the number of oranges that go into carton in Bob’s Citrus and Nursery and the number of oranges they have to pack. The formula would be:

= Number of oranges / Number of oranges per carton

= 5, 643 / 24

= 235 cartons

How to fin the number of grapefruits per bin ?

The same logic is applied to find the number of grapefruits that would be in each bin. If each bin would have an equal number of grapefruits, the number of grapefruits per bin would be:

= Number of grapefruits / Number of bins

= 4, 338 / 18

= 241 grapefruits per bin
