Multiply, then identify the coefficient of x in the product (x - 5)(x + 2). *

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-3 is the coefficient of x here

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to open the brackets.

(x-5)(x + 2) = x(x + 2)-5(x + 2)

x^2 + 2x -5x -10

x^2 -3x -10

When we say the coefficient of x, we mean the value by which x only is multiplied by in the equation. That would be -3

This must not be confused with the coefficient of x^2 which is entirely different from the coefficient of x

1) Marlon had 6 hits in 15 at bats. How does Marlon's
hits to at bats ratio compare to Adrian's?​

Answers

Answer:

Marlon has a 40% of hits, which means Adrian needs more than 40% to be better.

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't have Adrian's batting data, but we can find Marlon's ratio thorugh dividing the hits by the total bats.

[tex]M=\frac{6}{15}=0.4[/tex]

Therefore, Marlon has a 40% of hits, which means Adrian needs more than 40% to be better.

When solving negative one over five (x − 25) = 7, what is the correct sequence of operations?

Multiply each side by negative one over five , add 25 to each side
Multiply each side by 5, subtract 25 from each side
Multiply each side by negative one over five , subtract 25 from each side
Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side

Answers

Answer:

Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/5(x-25) = 7

Multiply each side by -5/1 to clear the fraction

-5/1* -1/5(x-25) = 7*-5/1

x-25 = -35

Then add 25 to each side

x-25+25 = -35+25

x = -10

If a cubic polynomial has zeros at x= -4, x=0 and x=7, then


A). The polynomial has no imaginary zeros.

B). The polynomial as a pair of imaginary zeros.

Answers

I think the answer ia A that what i think

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental theorem of algebra tells us that a polynomial of degree n has n roots.

Here the polynomial is a cubic, that is of degree 3

Thus it will have 3 roots, real and/ or imaginary.

Since imaginary roots occur in conjugate pairs

Since the polynomial has 3 real roots there are no imaginary roots, thus

A is the required response.

A pillow that usually costs $18 is marked down 25%. Use the table to find the pillow’s new price.

Fill in the missing amounts to solve the problem.

100 percent is an 18 dollar original price, 25 percent markdown is a, and new price is b.

a =
b =

Answers

Answer:

In this case we can propose a rule of three:

$ 18 ---------------> 100%

x --------------------> 25%

Where x represents the discount made to the pillow:

So we have the new price (with the discount) is:

In addition, if 25% is discounted we have to, the price of the pillow is 75% of the original price. That is to say:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer :

a= $4.50

b= $13.50

Step by step explanation: 1- find 25% of 18 which is 4.50. 2- subtract 18-4.50= 13.50

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with one of each choice. That'll be 3 * 4 * 3 * 3 * 10 = 1080 pizzas. As for the second one, this time the toppings won't be 10 it will be 10 * 9 * 8 because we have 10, and then 9, and then 8 topping choices. This gives us 1080 * 9 * 8 = 77,760. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we can multiply the choices that they gave us, which is 3 by 4 by 3 by 3 by 10, which will give 1080 for the first part. Now, if you was to do only 3 toppings, it should be 3 by 4 by 3 by 3 by 3, which would give us 324. I don't know if this is right but I think this is the right answer.

Hi :) I need help with the question in the screenshot if anybody knows it can you plz help I will give you brainliest, thanks and points!!!!

Answers

This question is difficult to give a definite answer to because it's an approximation, but I estimate the solutions to be around x = 2.6 and x = -2.6.

When they ask for solutions of the graphed function they are asking for an approximation of where the graph intercepts the x-axis, and we can see it kind of intercepts in the middle of 2 and 3, except slightly closer to 3, which is why I estimated 2.6.

The graph also appears to be symmetrical, which means the solutions will be the same except one would be negative and one would be positive, which means the second solution would be -2.6.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

The owner of a collector car sold the car at a auction. The owner bought it in 1977 when it's value was $7500. The value of the car increased at the rate of 5.5% per year. The auction took place in 2000. What is the approximate value of the car at the time of the auction.

Answers

Answer:

$25,695

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the price of the car in 2000 using the formula to calculate the future value:

FV=PV(1+r)^n

FV= future value

PV= Present value: $7,500

i= rate: 5.5%

n= number of years: 2000-1977= 23

FV= 7,500*(1+0.055)^23

FV= 7,500*(1.055)^23

FV= 7,500*3.426

FV= 25,695

According to this, the approximate value of the car at the time of the auction is $25,695.

Twenty people apply for 5 job openings as teacher assistants. How many different groups of people can be hired?

Answers

Answer:

15504 different groups

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 20 people, and we want to know how many groups of 5 people we can make, where the order of the people inside the group doesn't matter, so we can solve this question calculating the combination of 20 choose 5.

The formula for combination is:

C(n, p) = n! / (p! * (n-p)!)

In this case, we have n = 20 and p = 5, so:

C(20, 5) = 20! / (5! * 15!) = 20*19*18*17*16 / (5*4*3*2) = 15504

So we have 15504 different groups.

A mixed bag of candy is 25% chocolate bars and 75% other filler candy. Of the chocolate bars, 50% of them contains caramel. Of the other filler candy, 10% of them contain caramel. What percent of candy contains caramel? *

Answers

Answer:

20% candy contains caramel.

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of mixed candy has chocolate bars = 25%

and other filler candy = 75%

Let the 'c' represents the percentage of candy containing caramel in the bag of mixed candy.

Of the chocolate bars, percentage of candy containing caramel = 50% of 25%

Of the other filler candy, percentage of caramel candy = 10% of 75%

1c = 0.50(0.25) + 0.10(0.75)

   = 0.125 + 0.075

   = 0.2

By converting into percentage = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

20% candy contains caramel.

The value of Melissa's Jeep is $28,000 and is depreciating at a rate of 14% per year. Use an exponential function to find the value of the Jeep after 6 years. Round to the nearest cent
Help please :/

Answers

Answer:

Jeep value after six years is $11,327.9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of depreciation, we use the exponential function below;

V = I(1-r)^t

where V is the future value of the Jeep which we are to calculate

I is the initial value of the jeep which is $28,000

r is the rate of decrease or depreciation which is 14% or simply 14/100 = 0.14

t is time which is 6 years

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

V = 28,000(1-0.14)^6

V =28,000(0.86)^6

V = 11,327.88

To the nearest cent; V = $11,327.9
