Answer:
x² - 3x + 5 - [24÷(x+3)]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Expand (x³ + 2x - 6x - 9)
= x³ - 4x - 9
2. Divide [x³ - 4x - 9 by x+3]
= x² + [(-3x^2-4x-9) ÷ (x+3)]
3. Divide [(-3x^2-4x-9) by (x+3)]
= -3x + [(5x-9) ÷ (x+3)]
x² - 3x + [(5x-9) ÷ (x+3)]
4. Divide [(5x-9) ÷ (x+3)]
= 5 + [(-24) ÷ (x+3)]
x² - 3x + 5 + [(-24) ÷ (x+3)]
= x² - 3x + 5 - [24 ÷ (x+3)]

The youth group is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $64. Included in that price is $12 for a concert ticket and the cost of 2 passes, one for the rides and one for the game booths. Each of the passes costs the same price. Write an equation representing the cost of the trip, and determine the price of one pass. Solve your equation by showing your work and steps.
Answer:
12+26x=64
Step-by-step explanation:
64-12=52
52/2=26
$26 per pass
equation 12+26x=64
x=2 in this case x is representing the number of passes
12 is the ticket
and 64 is total cost
Which equation could possibly represent the graphed function?
OA. f(x) = (x-4)(x + 2)(x + 4)
OB. f(x) = (x-4)^2(x - 2)
OC. f(x) = (x+4)^2(x+2)
OC. f(x) = (x-4)(x-2)(x+4)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
You're looking for x-intercepts
From the graph you know that the x-intercepts are as follows:
x = -4, x = -2, x = 4
And this is when y or f(x) = 0
so you can rewrite each x-intercept as an equation
0 = x + 4
0 = x + 2
0 = x - 4
Now you know each of the terms
f(x) = (x-4)(x+2)(x+4)
Answer:
A choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you notice, you see the graph having x-intercepts which are x = 4, -2 and -4.
Because the graph passes through x = 4, -2 and -4, we have to find the function that satisfy x-values when f(x) = 0.
Finding x-intercepts, let f(x) = 0.
A choice
f(x) = (x-4)(x+2)(x+4)
Let f(x) = 0 to find x-intercepts.
0 = (x-4)(x+2)(x+4)
Then solve the equation like linear.
Hence, x = 4,-2,-4
Since the x-intercepts are (4,0),(-4,0) and (-2,0), it satisfies the graph and therefore A is correct.

2) Oil with ρ= 876 kg/m3 and μ= 0.24 kg/m · s is flowing through a 1.5 cm diameter pipe that discharges into the atmosphere at 88 kPa. The absolute pressure 15 m before the exit is measured to be 135 kPa. Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe if the pipe is (a) horizontal, (b) inclined 8° upward from the horizontal, and (c) inclined 8° downward from the horizontal.
The pressure in a fluid flowing with laminar flow through a pipe is given by
Hagen-Poiseuille equation.
The correct responses are;
(a) If the pipe is horizontal, the flow rate is approximately 1.622 × 10⁻⁵ m³/s(b) If the pipe is inclined 8° upwards, the flow rate is approximately 1.003 × 10⁻³ m³/s(c) If the pipe is inclined 8° downwards, the flow rate is approximately 2.24 × 10⁻⁵ m³/sReasons:
When the flow is a steady incompressible flow through pipe, the flow rate
can be derived from the Hagen-Poiseuille equation as follows;
[tex]\displaystyle \dot V = \mathbf{\frac{\left[\Delta P - \rho \cdot g \cdot L \cdot sin\left(\theta \right) \right] \cdot \pi \cdot D^4 }{128 \cdot \mu \cdot L}}[/tex]
ΔP = 135 kPa - 88 kPa = 47 kPa
The density of the oil, ρ = 876 kg/m³
μ = 0.24 kg/(m·s)
L = 15 m
The diameter of the pipe, D = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m
(a) When the pipe is horizontal, we have;
θ = 0°
Which gives;
[tex]\displaystyle \dot V = \mathbf{\frac{\left[47 \times 10^3 - 876 \, kg/m^3 \times 9.81 \, m/s^2 \times 15 \, m \cdot sin\left(0^{\circ} \right) \right] \times \pi \times (0.015 \, m)^4 }{128 \times 0.24 \, kg/(m \cdot s) \times 15 \, m}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \dot V = \frac{\left[47 \times 10^3\, Pa - 128903.4\, Pa \cdot sin\left(0^{\circ} \right) \right] \times \pi \times (0.015 \, m)^4 }{128 \times 0.24 \, kg/(m \cdot s) \times 15 \, m}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \dot V = \frac{\left[47 \times 10^3\, Pa - 128903.4 \, Pa \cdot sin\left(0^{\circ} \right) \right] \times \pi \times (0.015 \, m)^4 }{128 \times 0.24 \, kg/(m \cdot s) \times 15 \, m} =\frac{0.002379357\cdot \pi}{460.8}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \dot V=\frac{0.002379357\cdot \pi}{460.8} = \mathbf{1.622 \times 10^{-5}}[/tex]
The flow rate when the pipe is horizontal, [tex]\displaystyle \dot V[/tex] = 1.622 × 10⁻⁵ m³/s(b) When the pipe is inclined 8°, we have;
[tex]\displaystyle \dot V = \mathbf{\frac{\left[47 \times 10^3\, Pa - 128903.4\, Pa \cdot sin\left(8^{\circ} \right) \right] \times \pi \times (0.015 \, m)^4 }{128 \times 0.24 \, kg/(m \cdot s) \times 15 \, m}} = 1.003 \times 10^{-5} \, m^3/s[/tex]
The flow rate of oil through the pipe if the pipe is inclined 8° upwards from the horizontal, [tex]\displaystyle \dot V[/tex] = 1.003 × 10⁻⁵ m³/s(c) If the pipe is inclined 8° downward from the horizontal, we have;

A curve has equation y=4x^3 -3x+3. Find the coordinates of the two stationary points. Determine whether each of the stationary points is a maximum or a minimum.
Answer:
There are two stationary points
Local max = (-0.5, 4)Local min = (0.5, 2)Note that 1/2 = 0.5
==========================================================
How to get those answers:
Stationary points occur when the derivative is zero, when the graph is neither increasing nor decreasing (i.e. it's staying still at that snapshot in time).
Apply the derivative to get:
f(x) = 4x^3 - 3x + 3
f ' (x) = 12x^2 - 3
Then set it equal to zero and solve for x.
f ' (x) = 0
12x^2 - 3 = 0
12x^2 = 3
x^2 = 3/12
x^2 = 1/4
x = sqrt(1/4) or x = -sqrt(1/4)
x = 1/2 or x = -1/2
x = 0.5 or x = -0.5
----------------------
Let's do the first derivative test to help determine if we have local mins, local maxes, or neither.
Set up a sign chart as shown below. Note the three distinct regions A,B,C
A = numbers to the left of -0.5B = numbers between -0.5 and 0.5; excluding both endpointsC = numbers to the right of 0.5The values -0.5 and 0.5 are not in any of the three regions. They are the boundaries.
The reason why I split things into regions like this is to test each region individually. We'll plug in a representative x value into the f ' (x) function.
To start off, we'll check region A. Let's try something like x = -2
f ' (x) = 12x^2 - 3
f ' (-2) = 12(-2)^2 - 3
f ' (-2) = 45
The actual result doesn't matter. All we care about is whether if its positive or negative. In this case, f ' (x) > 0 when we're in region A. This tells us f(x) is increasing on the interval [tex]-\infty < x < -0.5[/tex]
Let's check region B. I'll try x = 0.
f ' (x) = 12x^2 - 3
f ' (0) = 12(0) - 3
f ' (0) = -3
The result is negative, so f ' (x) < 0 when [tex]-0.5 < x < 0.5[/tex]. The f(x) curve is decreasing on this interval.
The change from increasing to decreasing as we pass through x = -0.5 indicates that we have a local max here.
Plug x = -0.5 into the original function to find its paired y coordinate.
f(x) = 4x^3 - 3x + 3
f(-0.5) = 4(-0.5)^3 - 3(-0.5) + 3
f(-0.5) = 4
The point (-0.5, 4) is a stationary point. More specifically, it's a local max.
Side note: This is the same as the point (-1/2, 4) when written in fraction form.
----------------------
Let's check region C
I'll try x = 2
f ' (x) = 12x^2 - 3
f ' (2) = 12(2)^2 - 3
f ' (2) = 45
The positive outcome tells us that any number from region C does the same, and f ' (x) > 0 when [tex]0.5 < x < \infty[/tex]. The function f(x) is increasing on this interval.
Region B decreases while C increases. The change from decreasing to increasing indicates we have a local min when x = 0.5
Plug this x value into the original equation
f(x) = 4x^3 - 3x + 3
f(0.5) = 4(0.5)^3 - 3(0.5) + 3
f(0.5) = 2
The local min is located at (0.5, 2) which is the other stationary point.
The graph and sign chart are shown below.

f ' (0) = -3
The result is negative, so f ' (x) < 0 when f(x) curve is decreasing on this interval.

Tony’s birthday his mother is making cupcakes for his friends at his daycare that the recipe calls for 3 1/3 of flour I make 2 1/2 dozen cupcakes.Call me she’ll ask flower two dozen of cupcakes
Answer:
No, there is no enough flour for each of his friends to get a cupcake
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the ratio method to solve the question
∵ This recipe makes 2 dozen cupcakes
∵ Each dozen contain 12 cupcakes
∴ The number of cupcakes can the recipe make = 2 × 12
∴ The number of cupcakes can the recipe make = 30 cupcakes
∵ The recipe calls for 3 cups of flour
→ That means 3 cups of flour can make 30 cupcakes
∴ 3 cups of flour makes 30 cupcakes
∵ Anthony’s mother has only 1 cup of flour
→ By using the ratio method
→ flour : cupcake
→ 3 : 30
→ 1 : x
→ By using cross multiplication
∵ 3 × x = 1 × 30
∴ 3 x = 30
→ Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = 9
∵ x represents the number of cupcakes
∴ Anthony’s mother can make 9 cupcakes with 1 cup of flour
∵ Anthony has 12 friends at his daycare
∵ The number of the cupcakes = 9
∴ The number of cupcakes is not enough for each of his friends to
get a cupcake

How much interest will you earn if you deposit
$4000 into an account compounded semi-annually
at 2.8% for 5 years?
Answer:
45215.31
Step-by-step explanation:
$596.6 is the interest will you earn if you deposit $4000 into an account compounded semi-annually at 2.8% for 5 years.
What is compounding?
Compounding is the process whereby interest is credited to an existing principal amount as well as to interest already paid. Compounding thus can be construed as interest on interest—the effect of which is to magnify returns to interest over time, the so-called “miracle of compounding.”
According to question,$4000 into an account compounded semi-annually at 2.8% for 5 years.
We have to find interest rate.
Formula for compound interest is [tex]P[(1+i)^n-1][/tex]
Since compounding is semi-annually,
[tex]i=\frac{0.028}{2}[/tex][tex]=0.014[/tex] (since compounding is semi-annually)
[tex]n[/tex]=number of years=[tex]5[/tex] ×[tex]2=10[/tex] years (since compounding is semi-annually)
So, compound interest
[tex]=[/tex][tex]P[(1+i)^n-1][/tex]
[tex]=4000((1+0.014)^{10} -1))[/tex]
[tex]=4000[/tex]×[tex]0.1491[/tex]
[tex]=596.6[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that,$596.6 is the interest will you earn if you deposit $4000 into an account compounded semi-annually at 2.8% for 5 years.

The difference of 27 and k is 15 ⇒ a. 27 - k = 155. 8 less than 3 times x is 10 ⇒ f. 3x - 8 = 10 6. 3 times x increased by 8 is 20 ⇒ d. 3x + 8 = 20 7. A number minus 8 is 3 ⇒ e. k - 8 = 3 8. Three times a number is 9 ⇒ j. 3n = 99. Twice a number plus 1 is 11 ⇒ g. 2x + 1 = 11 10. 6 less than a number is 5 ⇒ c. c - 6 = 15Connor gets one hour of lunch and recess every day at school. He eats lunch first, and then gets to go outside for recess. He begins lunch at 11:15am. Based on this information, select All of the statements that are correct. a. If it takes Connor 25 minutes to eat lunch, he can go outside for recess at 11:40am. b. If it takes Connor 35 minutes to eat lunch, he will have 20 minutes left for recess. c. If it takes Connor 20 minutes for lunch, he can go outside for recess before 11:45am. d. If it takes Connor 25 minutes for lunch, he will still have at least 40 minutes left for recess. Vle. If it takes Connor 45 minutes for lunch, he can go out to recess at 12:00pm.
Answer: B ( sorry if im wrong )
Step-by-step explanation:
if Conner begins lunch at 11:15am then we need to find out what it'll be in +60 minutes, which is . . . 12:15pm
so it's not A, C, E - which now leaves us B and D
( I used a time calculator btw )
the answer is D because B is 25 minutes for recess
For how many positive integers n is it possible to have a triangle with side lengths five, 12, and n
Step-by-step explanation:
you know, a single side cannot be longer than the other 2 sides combined.
otherwise, the triangle cannot "close".
so, it starts with 12 cannot be longer than 5 + n.
therefore, n must be at least 7.
and n cannot be longer than 5+12 = 17
7 and 17 I would normally rule out a well, because in these cases the triangle would just be a flat line, when the 3rd side is as long as the other 2 combined.
so, in reality for a real, visible triangle, the range of valid values is 8 .. 16.
that is 9 positive integer values.
