Each game at an arcade costs $1.50. Chuck spent no more than $12.50 at the arcade. He bought a snack for $5.25 and spent the res

t of his money on arcade games. What is the maximum number of games Chuck could have played?

4 because $12.50-$5.25=$7.25 you then divide $7.25 by $1.50 which is 4.833333 Therefore the maximum number of games Chuck can play is 4

Factor the polynomial, x2 + 5x + 6

patriot [66]

Answer:

Choice b.

$x^{2} + 5\, x + 6 = (x + 3)\, (x + 2)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest power of the variable $x$ in this polynomial is $2$ . In other words, this polynomial is quadratic.

It is thus possible to apply the quadratic formula to find the "roots" of this polynomial. (A root of a polynomial is a value of the variable that would set the polynomial to $0$ .)

After finding these roots, it would be possible to factorize this polynomial using the Factor Theorem.

Apply the quadratic formula to find the two roots that would set this quadratic polynomial to $0$ . The discriminant of this polynomial is $(5^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 6) = 1$ .

$\begin{aligned}x_{1} &= \frac{-5 + \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 + 1}{2} \\ &= -2\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly:

$\begin{aligned}x_{2} &= \frac{-5 - \sqrt{1}}{2\times 1} \\ &= \frac{-5 - 1}{2} \\ &= -3\end{aligned}$ .

By the Factor Theorem, if $x = x_{0}$ is a root of a polynomial, then $(x - x_0)$ would be a factor of that polynomial. Note the minus sign between $x$ and $x_{0}$ .

The root $x = -2$ corresponds to the factor $(x - (-2))$ , which simplifies to $(x + 2)$ .
The root $x = -3$ corresponds to the factor $(x - (-3))$ , which simplifies to $(x + 3)$ .

Verify that $(x + 2)\, (x + 3)$ indeed expands to the original polynomial:

$\begin{aligned}& (x + 2)\, (x + 3) \\ =\; & x^{2} + 2\, x + 3\, x + 6 \\ =\; & x^{2} + 5\, x + 6\end{aligned}$ .

If p varies directly with q, and p = 10 when q = 5, what is the value of p when q = 20

Inessa [10]

The value of p would be 40. This is because the ratio of p:q = 10:5. this could be simplify into p:q = 2:1. Applying the ratio p:20 = 2:1, P=40.
