Solve for all possible values of x. square root of the quantity x minus 9 end quantity plus 4 equals 8

a) x = −5
b) x = 7
c) x = 13
d)x = 25

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Option d)  x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

√(x-9)+4=8

Solve for x

Subtract 4 both sides

√(x-9)+4-4=8-4

√(x-9)=4

squared both sides

(x-9)=(+/-)4^2

(x-9)=(+/-)16

Adds 9 both sides

x=9(+/-)16

x1=9(+)16=25

x2=9(-)16=-7

Verify

1) For x=25

√(25-9)=4

√(16)=4

4=4 ----> is true

therefore

x=25 is a solution

2) For x=-7

√(-7-9)=4

√(-16)=4

The radicand cannot be a negative number

therefore

x=-7 is not a solution

Graph of a cubic polynomial that falls to the left and rises to the right with x intercepts negative 2, negative 1, and 2 Which of the following functions best represents the graph?

f(x) = x3 + x2 − 4x − 4
f(x) = x3 + 4x2 − x − 4
f(x) = x3 + 3x2 − 4x − 12
f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 4x − 8

Answers

Based on the given intercepts, the factors of the polynomial are
f(x) = (x-2)(x+1)(x-2)
Multiplying the binomials would give us the correct answer. Multiplying the first two,
f(x) = (x2 - x - 2)(x-2)
Then multiplying the result with other binomial,
f(x) = x3 + x2 - 4x - 4

Using the Factor Theorem, the function that best represents the graph is given by:

f(x) = x³ + x² - 4x - 4.

What is the Factor Theorem?

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient

In this problem, we consider a = 1, and the roots are the x-interceptsx_1 = -2, x_2 = -1, x_3 = 2, hence:

f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 2)

f(x) = (x² + 3x + 2)(x - 2)

f(x) = x³ + x² - 4x - 4.

There are 70 students in a school band. 40%are sixth graders,20% are seventh graders and the rest are eighth graders.How many sixth graders are there.

Answers

Answer:the number of sixth graders is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in the school band is 70. 40% are sixth graders. 20% are seventh graders and the rest are eighth graders. This means that the percentage of eighth graders is 100 - (40+20) = 100 - 60 = 40%

This means that the number of sixth graders would be 40% of the total number of students in the school band. It becomes

40/100 × 70 = 0.4×70 = 28

Andy cut rope for an activity at outdoor camp. He had 504 centimeters of rope to cut into equal-length pieces. How many of the ways given below would use the entire amount of rope? Circle all that apply. A. 12 pieces of 42.3 centimeter long rope B. 15 pieces of 33.6 centimeter long rope C. 16 pieces of 31.5 centimeter long rope D. 20 pieces of 25 centimeter long rope E. 35 pieces of 14.4 centimeter long rope

Answers

Answer: B, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to know if the options are correct, we just have to multiply the length the rope was cut into by the number of pieces and check if it equals 504 centimeter.

A. 12 pieces of 42.3 centimeter long rope.

= 12 × 42.3

= 507.6

This is wrong

B. 15 pieces of 33.6 centimeter long rope

= 15 × 33.6

= 504cm

This is correct

C. 16 pieces of 31.5 centimeter long rope

= 16 × 31.5

= 504cm

This is correct

D. 20 pieces of 25 centimeter long rope

= 20 × 25

= 500cm

This is incorrect

E. 35 pieces of 14.4 centimeter long rope

= 35 × 14.4

= 504cm

This is correct

Therefore, the correct option are B, C and E.
