I’m confused ???can you post the table that they provide you with?
Answer:
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x - 7
when x = 4
y = 4 - 7
y = -3
Part A
The equation is b = 36*a or simply b = 36a
We take the size of the farm 'a' and multiply it by 36 to get the number of bushels of corn 'b'.
-----------------------------------
Part B
The 36 means there are 36 times more bushels of corn compared to the size of the farm in acres
For example, if the size is 2 acres then
b = 36*a
b = 36*2
b = 72
yielding 72 bushels of corn
-----------------------------------
Part C
Along the first row you should have: 25 and 30 in the missing blanks (over 900 and 1080 respectively)
You find this by dividing the value of b over 36
eg: b/36 = 900/36 = 25
-------
Then along the bottom row you should have the following for the blanks: 0, 360, 1800
These values are found by multiplying the 'a' value by 36
eg: if a = 10 then b = 36*a = 36*10 = 360
-----------------------------------
Part D
Plot any two points you want from the table back in part C
So plot say (0,0) and (10,360). Then draw a straight line through those two points.
-----------------------------------
Part E
The point (30,1080) means a = 30 and b = 1080
So if the farm is 30 acres, then it can produce 1080 bushels of corn
Notice how
b = 36*a
b = 36*30 <<-- replace 'a' with 30
b = 180
And how this matches up with the fourth column of the table in part C. So you can use this part to get a hint of how to fill out the table (or at least know what one column looks like)
The general form of a polynomial is: x² + bx + c = 0. Substituting the roots,
3² + b(3) + c = 0
3b + c = -9 --> eqn 1
(5 + √5)² + (5 +√5)(b) + c = 0
(5+√5)b + c = -30-10√5 --> eqn 2
Solving both equations simultaneously by subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1,
(-2 - √5)b = 21 + 10√5
b = -8 - √5
Using eqn 1,
3(-8 - √5) + c = -9
-24 - 3√5 + c = -9
c = -9 + 24 + 3√5
c = 15 + 3√5
Hence, the polynomial is: <em>f(x) = x² + (-8 - √5)x + (15 + 3√5)</em>.
