Answer: 985 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Total mass = 8 × 500g = 4000g
Let the three new packs be X, Y, and Z, for first, second, and third pack respectively.
4000g = X + Y + Z
let's put X and Z in terms of Y, since we're trying to solve for the second pack.
X = 2Y, and Z = Y + 60
Therefore,
4000 = X + Y + Z
4000 = 2Y + Y +Y + 60
4000 = 4Y +60
4000 - 60 = 4Y
3940 = 4Y
3940 ÷ 4 = Y
985g = Y = mass of the second pack
Since y equals the product of the factors, any value for x which makes any factor equal to zero is a point where the graph touches the x-axis.
x=-5 and 2 (technically the points (-5,0) and (2,0))
1/2 of the books are science books because once you convert the other two books you get 2/6 +1/6= 1/2 so the science books will be the other half.
Using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression.
an = a + (n - 1)d
a(4) = a + 3d = 55
a(9) = a + 8d = 90
a(9) - a(4) => 5d = 35
d = 35/5 = 7.
From a(4): a = 55 - 3d = 55 - 3(7) = 55 - 21 = 34
a(2) = a + d = 34 + 7 = 41.
