Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solutions, zeros, and roots of a polynomial are all the same exact thing and can be used interchangeably. When you factor a polynomial, you solve for x which are the solutions of the polynomial. Since, when you factor a polynomial, you do so by setting the polynomial equal to 0, by definition of x-intercept, you are finding the zeros (don't forget that x-intercepts exist where y is equal to 0). There's the correlation between zeros and solutions.
Since factoring and distributing "undo" each other (or are opposites), if you factor to find the zeros, you can distribute them back out to get back to the polynomial you started with. Each zero or solution is the x value when y = 0. For example, if a solution to a polynomial is x = 3, since that is a zero of the polynomial, we can set that statement equal to 0: x - 3 = 0. What we have then is a binomial factor of the polynomial in the form (x - 3). These binomial factors found from the solutions/zeros of the polynomial FOIL out to give you back the polynomial equation.
D+Q=61 => D=61-Q
3+D=Q
10D+25Q=1090
10(61-Q) + 25Q=1090
610-10Q+25Q=1090
610+15Q=1090
-610 -610
15Q=480
480/15=32
32 quarters
Answer:
x² - 5x = 14
x = -2 or x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x = 14
x² - 5x - 14 = 0
(x+2)(x-7) = 0
x = -2 or x = 7
Answer:
the answer is 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
12+4.3 is 16.3
16.3-15 is 1.3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
