Problem number 26 of the Rhind Papyrus says: Find a quantity such that when it is added to StartFraction 1 Over 4 EndFraction of

itself the result is a 15. The modern day equation that models this problem is x plus StartFraction 1 over 4 EndFraction x equals 15.. What is the solution to the equation? x = 10 x = 12 x = 15 x = 30

Answer:

The quantity is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the solution to the equation.

Let the quantity we are looking for be x;

According to the question;

The quantity plus a quarter of the quantity = 15

x + 1/4(x) = 15

x + x/4 = 15

Multiply through by 4

4x + (x/4)*4 = 15 * 4

4x + x = 60

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12

Bas_tet [7]
Answer: B. -(x-2)^2 + 3

The vertex of the parabola is (2,3) so we can plug in those values into the equation for vertex form. And the parabola is facing down, so we know the function is multiplied by -1.

Therefore the equation is -(x-2)^2 + 3

Look at the attached image to see what vertex form is

What is the quotient (3x4 – 4x2 + 8x – 1) ÷ (x – 2) brainly
Karolina [17]

To find our quotient we are going to perform long division.

Long division step by step:

Step 1. Write the polynomial (dividend) in descending order (from highest to least exponent). If you encounter a missing term, use zero to fill the space of the term in the descending sequence.

Notice that even tough our polynomial is written in descending form, x^3 is missing, so we are going to use 0x^3 to fill the gap:

3x^4-4x^2+8x-1

3x^4+0x^3-4x^2+8x-1

Step 2. Divide the first term of the polynomial (dividend) by the first term of the divisor.

In our case the first term of the dividend is 3x^4 and the first term of the divisor is x, so \frac{3x^4}{x} =3x^3. Notice that 3x^3 is the first term of the quotient.

Step 3. Multiply the first term of the quotient by the terms of the divisor and subtract them from the respective term of the dividend.

The first term of our quotient (from the previous step) is 3x^3 and the divisor is (x-1), so 3x^3(x-2)=3x^4-6x^3. Now, we are going to subtract them from the respective term (the term with the same power) of the dividend. The respective terms of the dividend are 3x^4 and 0x^3, so 3x^4-3x^4=0 and 0x^3-(-6x^3)=0x^3+6x^3=6x^3

Step 4. Bring down the next term in the dividend and repeat the process for the remaining terms.

After finish the process (check the attached picture), we can conclude that the quotient of 3x^4-4x^2+8x-1 ÷ (x-2) is 3x^3+6x^2+8x+24 with a remainder of 47, or in a different notation: 3x^3+6x^2+8x+24+\frac{47}{x-2}

saul85 [17]

Answer: Annabelle is using  the a measure of central tendency defined as the Mode.

Step-by-step explanation: A measure of central tendency in its simplest definition is a single value or measure that can safely be used to represent all members belonging to an entire set of given data. Hence, as a good illustration, one figure can be used to confidently represent all other ninety nine figures where a set of one hundred figures were given.

The mean, median and mode are commonly accepted measures of central tendency.

The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a given set of data. As such, the modal value is statistically acceptable as a representative of the entire set of values or data.

If Annabelle measures the sides of 15 right triangles and based on her observations, she concludes that for any right  triangle the sum of the squares of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, what she has done is taking the most frequently occurring value, and in her experiment, the most frequent of all observed data satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.

That is why Annabelle can confidently make her assumption.
