Part A.
We're only told that the product of the mystery factor and the number shown is even. This is true when the number shown is odd as well as even, hence the mystery factor is even.
There are no other conditions on the product that might limit the value of the mystery factor (non-zero, or < 10, for example).
Hence, the mystery factor could be any single-digit even number. In our base-10 number system, there are 5 of them: {0, 2, 4, 6, 8}.
___
Part B.
There are only 5 even single-digit numbers in our base-10 number system, so by choosing 5, I know I have all of them.
f(x) = (x+2)(x-1)(2x+3)
Which statements are true? (Graph is pictured)
Select ALL that apply
A)The end behavior of functions f(x) and g(x) are exactly the same.
B)Both functions have exactly three x-intercepts.
C)The function f(x) is an odd degree function.
D)The function g(x) has a positive leading coefficient.
E)The x intercepts for g(x) are (1, 0); (2, 0) and (-3/2, 0)
Answer:
B) Both functions have exactly three x-intercepts.
C) The function f(x) is an odd degree function.
E) The x intercepts for g(x) are (1, 0); (2, 0) and (-3/2, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The function f is a function of degree 3 (there are 3 x-terms in the product contributing to the highest-degree term), so is of odd degree. The leading coefficient in f(x) is the product of the coefficients of x: 1·1·2 = 2, a positive number.
For a polynomial function of odd degree, the general shape of the graph will be "/" if the leading coefficient is positive, and "\" if the leading coefficient is negative. That is, end behaviors will be opposites of each other. Function f has a positive leading coefficient, so its end behavior will be (-∞, -∞) and (+∞, +∞). Function g has end behavior that is (-∞, +∞) and (+∞, -∞), so is not the same. Apparently, g(x) has a negative leading coefficient.
The graph of g(x) shows it to have 3 x-intercepts. They can be read from the graph as (-3/2, 0), (1, 0) and (2, 0). The factoring of f(x) shows it to have 3 x-intercepts, the same number. There is an x-intercept of f(x) for each factor. (The x-intercept value is the value of x that makes the factor zero.)
The function f(x) is of odd degree and has three x-intercepts at -2, 1, and -3/2. The statements regarding the function g(x) cannot be confirmed without further information.
Explanation:The function given is f(x) = (x+2)(x-1)(2x+3). The degree of the function is 3 as there are three terms multiplied together. Therefore, f(x) is an odd degree function, which makes option C correct.
The x-intercepts of the function occur where y = 0, i.e. where f(x) = 0. Solving this will give the roots or intercepts for x which are -2, 1, and -3/2. This means that the function f(x) has three x-intercepts, which makes option B correct.
Without information or a graph of function g(x), we cannot accurately answer options A, D and E. We cannot know the end behavior, the leading coefficient or the x intercepts for g(x). Therefore, only options B and C are true statements.

A cardboard box has a square base and an open top. the four sides are made of wood that costs 2 dollars per square foot, while the base is made of aluminum that costs 25 dollars per square foot. if the volume of the box is to be 50 cubic feet, what is its minimum possible cost?
Answer:
$300
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the side length of the square base in feet. Then the height of each side is ...
... h = (50 ft³)/(x ft)² = (50/x²) ft
The cost of the sides of the box is then ...
... (4 sides) × (x ft)(50/x² ft)/side × $2/ft² = $400/x
The cost of the bottom is ...
... (x ft)² × $25/ft² = $25x²
So, the total dollar cost is
... C = 400/x + 25x²
This will be a minimum where its derivative with respect to x is zero.
... 0 = -400/x² +50x
... 400/50 = 8 = x³ . . . . . add 400/x²; multiply by x²/50
... x = ∛8 = 2
For this value of x, the minimum cost is ...
... C = 400/2 + 25·2² = 300
The minimum possible cost is $300.
_____
Comments on the problem
1) Cardboard boxes are usually made of cardboard. They are rarely made of wood and alumninum.
2) The cost of the bottom is half the cost of the sides. When the dimensions are unconstrained, you will find (as here) the cost is shared equally between the bottom and pairs of opposite sides—each being 1/3 the total cost.

In one year, a bird farm sold 375 total chickens. of these, there were 37 more Cornish hens than turkeys. How many Cornish hens and how many turkeys were sold?
Answer:
206 Cornish hens
169 turkeys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of Cornish hens sold. Then c-37 is the number of turkeys sold. The total sales would be ...
... c + (c-37) = 375
... 2c = 412 . . . . collect terms, add 37
... c = 206 . . . . Cornish hens sold
... (c-37) = 169 . . . turkeys sold
_____
Comment on this type of problem
Note that the solution to this problem is that the larger number (number of cornish hens) is half the sum of the total and the difference: (375+37)/2 = 206. This is the general solution for this type of "sum and difference" problem.
The larger contributor is half the total plus half the difference; the smaller contributor is half the total minus half the difference.
Cornish hens = (1/2)(375 +37) = 206
Turkeys = (1/2)(375 -37) = 169

Part A: which type of function (linear or exponential) best models this situation. EXPLAIN
Part B: describes the approximate monthly growth demonstrated in the table USING WORDS.
Part C: assuming that the growth rate was the same for the entire year, give me an estimate of the number of visitors to the website for month 7. SHOW WORK OR EXPLAIN
Part A: The exponential function is the best model for the given data. The data shows that every month the number of visitor approximately doubles from previous month. In other words the number is some base value (2, in this case) with the number of month (t) being in the exponent. This the a key characteristic of an exponential growth.
Part B: (also explained above). Every month the number of visitors approximately doubles. Starting with 5.74 at month 8, the numbers goes up by about the same amount to 12.0 at month 9. At month 10, a similar increase occurs (doubling would be 24, and the data shows 25, so this is all "aproximate"). This trend continues throughout the table.
Part C:
Month 7 will be estimated as half of month 8 (going backward):
Month 7: 5.74/2=2.87
Estimate for month 7 = 2.87 thousand visitors.

The second attachment shows my synthetic division. The first division takes out the root x=3 to give a quotient of x³ +3x² +3x +2. The second division takes out the root -2 to give the quotient of x² +x +1. (You can see that I tried -1 as a root first.)
The graph shows both the quartic and the quadratic factor of it. The latter has a leading coefficient of 1 and a vertex at (-1/2, 3/4), so you know the complex roots are -1/2 ±i√(3/4).
_____
From the beginning
There is only a very complicated formula for the roots of a quartic equation, so these are usually solved by machine or by some form of trial and error (iteration). There are some helps, like Descarte's Rule of Signs, and the Rational Root theorem.
Here, the former looks at the one sign change in the coefficients to tell you there will be 1 positive real root. Changing the sign of the odd-degree terms makes there be 3 sign changes, so there will be 3 or 1 negative real roots. Thus, we're assured at least two real roots, one of each sign.
We can look at the constant term to find the y-intercept to be -6. We can add the coefficients to find the value of the function is -18 for x=1, so the positive real root is larger than 1.
The Rational Root theorem says any rational roots will be factors of 6, the constant term. Choices are 1, 2, 3, 6. We have already eliminated 1 as a possibility, and we consider it unlikely that 6 will be a root. (The 4th power overwhelms the other terms in the function.) We tried 2 and found it doesn't work (this was before we graphed the function). The attached division result shows that 3 is a root, as does the graph.
Once you get down to a quadratic, you can find the remaining roots in the usual way. Because it is so simple to read them from the graph, we decided to graph the quadratic factor.
_____
Comment on terminology
"root" and "zero" are essentially the same thing when the function is equated to zero, as here. The terms refer to the value(s) of x that make the polynomial function evaluate to zero.
To find the zeros of the equation x^4-6x^2-7x-6=0, we can apply the rational root theorem and synthetic division. By trying different factors of the constant term -6, we can determine that one of the roots is x = -2. After dividing the equation by (x + 2), we obtain a quadratic equation x^3 - 2x^2 - 11x + 3 = 0. We can then solve this equation by factoring or using a graphing calculator to find the remaining two roots.

A customer placed an order with a bakery for cupcakes. the Baker has completed 37.5% of the order after being 81 cupcakes how many cupcakes with a customer order
Answer:
216 cupcakes
Step-by-step explanation:
81 = 0.375 × order
81/0.375 = order = 216 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable

About percentages
% means /100
37.5% = 37.5/100 = 375/1000 = 0.375
I need help answering this question
21 miles
Step-by-step explanation:Big Bird's nest is halfway between Bert's place and Ernie's place, so the distance from the nest to either apartment is the same. Equating those distances, we have ...
... 5x +4 = 15x -30
... 34 = 10x . . . . . . add 30-5x
... 3.4 = x . . . . . . . .divide by 10
The value of x is not the distance. The distance is given by either of the two expressions
5x+415x-30Using the first of these, the distance from either apartment to Big Bird's nest is ...
... 5·3.4 +4 = 17 +4 = 21 . . . . miles
Of course, using the second gives the same answer:
... 15·3.4 -30 = 51 -30 = 21
Evaluate f(3) x(5x-9)
I think I have the answer just now sure thanks if you can help
18
Step-by-step explanation:Put 3 where x is, then do the arithmetic.
... f(x) = x(5x -9)
... f(3) = 3(5·3 -9) = 3(15 -9) = 3·6
... f(3) = 18

Your calculator can do this, too.
Solve the inequality) 3a - 4 < 5 (line under greater or less then) As you solve the problem, do it with numbers instead of the word form, for example, 1+1=2 instead of one plus one equals two.
a ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:Undo what is done to the variable. The variable is multiplied by 3 and 4 is subtracted from that result. To undo these operations, you add 4, then divide by 3.
... 3a ≤ 9 . . . . 4 is added to both sides of the inequality
... a ≤ 3 . . . . . both sides of the inequality are divided by 3

Comment on solving inequalities
These are the same steps you would use to solve the 2-step equation ...
... 3a -4 = 5
The only difference between solving equations and solving inequalities is that when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you reverse the sense of the comparison (> becomes <, and vice versa; ≥ becomes ≤, and vice versa). You can see this if you consider numbers: 2 > 1. Multiplying by -1 gives -2 < -1.
Mr. O'Brien is paid $7.30 per hour for the first 40 hours he works in a week. he is paid 1.5 times that rate for each hour after that.
Last week, Mr O'Brien work 44 hours he says he earned $321.20 last week do you agree?
