if -1 is a zero of polynomial ax^²-x²+x+4, find the value of a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

-1 is a zero of the polynomial. i.e. x = -1.

The polynomial is :

p(x) = ax²-x²+x+4

We need to find the value of a.

Put x = -1 in the above polynomial.

p(1) = a(-1)²-(-1)²+(-1)+4

For zeroes,

p(1) = 0

a(-1)²-(-1)²+(-1)+4 = 0

a-1-1+4 = 0

a = -2

So, the value of a is equal to -2.

21 tokens. What is the total number of tokens Rachel has?

Answers

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what they are asking is to subtract the 3 tokens from 21 tokens he already has giving us 18. and since it says "Twice the number of tokens" I'm assuming you divide 2 from 18 giving you 9 tokens.

Answer:

9 divided by 21

Yes, this parabola is a function because it passes the vertical line test!

The vertical line test is a test where you move left to right over a graph, and look to see if there are any instances where the vertical line touches two points at the same time. If not, then the graph is a function!

A vendor supplies 32 litres of milk to a hotel in the morning and 68 litres of milk in the evening. If the milk costs Rs 15 per litre, a. Write a numerical expression for the given statement. B. Which property of whole numbers would you use to form a numerical expression for the given statement? C. How much money he gets per day for the supply?

Answers

Answer:

a) (15 × 32) + (15 × 68)

b) Distributive property

c) $1500

Step-by-step explanation:

A vendor supplies 32 litres of milk to a hotel in the morning and 68 litres of milk in the evening. If the milk costs Rs 15 per litre,

a. Write a numerical expression for the given statement.

The numerical expression for the given statement is written as:

$15 × 32 liters + $15 × 68 liters

15 × 32 + 15 × 68

B. Which property of whole numbers would you use to form a numerical expression for the given statement?

The property that I would use to form a numerical expression is a distributive property

a × (b + c) = (ab + ac)

Where a = $15

b = 32 liters

c = 68 liters

Hence:

15 (32 + 68) = (15 × 32) + (15 × 68)

C. How much money he gets per day for the supply?

The amount he gets per day:

15 (32 + 68) = (15 × 32) + (15 × 68)

= $1500

O salário mensal de um vendedor é de R$ 750,00 fixos mais 2,5% sobre o valor total em reais, das vendas que ele efetuar durante o mês. Em um mês em que suas vendas totalizaram x reais, o salário do vendedor será dado pela expressão: *

Answers

Responder:

750 + 0,025X

Explicação passo a passo:

Dado que :

Rendimento Fixo = R $ 750

Ganho variável = 2,5% das vendas totais

Se vendas totais em um mês = x

O valor total ganho = custo fixo + variável

Custo variável = 2,5% * x = 0,025X

Custo total: 750 + 0,025X

Tiffany took her friends out to dinner. If the dinner was $29.53 and she gave a 20% tip, how much money did she spend total (dinner + tip)?

Answers

Answer:

$35.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a proportion to solve this problem

20 : 100 : x : 29.53

x = (29.53*20)/100 = $5.906 (value of the tip)

total cost = 29.53 + 5.906 = $35.436 = $35.44

The correct answer is "4.5 liters". A further explanation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the solution needed be "x".

then, according to the question,

⇒ [tex]4 \ percent(9)+10 \ percent(x)=6 \ percent(9+x)[/tex]

By solving the above expression, we get

⇒ [tex]0.04\times 9+0.1x=0.06\times 9+0,06\times x[/tex]

⇒                [tex]0.04 x=0.54-0.36[/tex]

⇒                [tex]0.04x=0.18[/tex]

a. y-4=1/4(x-4)

c. y-12=4(x-6)
d. y-6=4(x-12)
e. y-4=4(x-4)
f. y-6=1/4(x-12)

Answers

Answer:

f. y-6 = 1/4(x-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope eliminates some options right away :

slope = y/x = 1/4, because x has to increase by 8 units for y to increase by 2 unit (or then simplified 4 units for 1).

so, we only need to look at equations with 1/4 as factor of x.

a. covers (12,6) but not (4,4) - wrong

b. covers none of the 2 points - wrong

c., d., e. have the wrong slope

f. is right. for x=12 y is then 6. for x=4 y is then also 4. correct !

In a test, +3 marks are given for every correct answer and -1 mark are given for every incorrect answer. Sona attempted all the questions and scored +20 marks, though she got 10 correct answers. How many incorrect answers has she attempted? (ii) How many questions were given in the test?

Answers



x = number of questions

3y = points for a correct answer
-1x or -x = points for an incorrect answer

Adding up the correct and incorrect points/answers gives us the final score. We can solve to see how many questions were incorrect. (We are told 10 were correct)

3y + (-1x) = 20
3(10) + (-1x) = 20
30 - x = 20
10 = x
x = 10

So she got 10 correct and 10 incorrect, and there were 20 questions in all.
