<span>(x - 2)(x - 3) = 2

x^2 - 2x - 3x + 6 - 2 = 0
x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 –
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We have to identify the function which has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x)= 3x^5-2x^4+9x^3-x^2+12.

Firstly, we will find the rational roots of the given function.

Let 'p' be the factors of 12

So, p= \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6

Let 'q' be the factors of 3

So, q=\pm 1, \pm 3

So, the rational roots are given by \frac{p}{q} which are as:

\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm \frac{2}{3}, \pm \frac{4}{3}.

Consider the first function given in part A.

f(x) = 3x^5-2x^4-9x^3+x^2-12

Here also, Let 'p' be the factors of 12

So, p= \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6

Let 'q' be the factors of 3

So, q=\pm 1, \pm 3

So, the rational roots are given by \frac{p}{q} which are as:

\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm \frac{2}{3}, \pm \frac{4}{3}.

Therefore, this equation has same rational roots of the given function.

Option A is the correct answer.

Melissa wants to make a table representing the area of her vegetable garden for a variety of different lengths of the tomato pat
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

\begin{array}{cc}Length \ of \ Tomato \ Patch \ (in \ feet)&Area \ of \ Vegetable \ Garden \ (in  \ square \ feet)\\\ [6.25]&338\\6.5&[242.625]\\  \ [6.75]&147.25\\7&[51.875]\end{array}

Step-by-step explanation:

The date from the given table, is expressed as follows;

Area of Vegetable Garden (in square feet); 338, ___, 147.25, ___

Length of Tomato Patch (in feet); ___, 6.5, ___, 7

The length of the tomato patch increases with decrease in the area of the garden

Given that the length of the tomato patch is the independent variable, we can have;

Length of Tomato Patch (in feet); 6.25, 6.5, 6.75, 7

Therefore, for an increase in the length of the tomato patch from 6.25 to 6.75, (a change of Δl = 0.5) the area of the vegetable garden decreased from 338 to 147.25 which is a decrease of ΔA = 190.75

Therefore, the width of the tomato patch, w = ΔA/Δl = 190.75/0.5 = 381.5

The width of the tomato patch, w = 381.5 ft.

The relationship between the total area, TA, the area of the vegetable garden, <em>A</em>, and the length of the tomato patch, <em>l</em>, is therefore, given as follows;

A = TA - 381.5·l

338 = TA - 381.5×6.25

TA = 338 + 381.5×6.25 = 2,722.375

Therefore, when l = 6.5, we get

A = 2,722.375 - 381.5×6.5 = 242.625

When l = 7, we get

A = 2,722.375 - 381.5×7 = 51.875

Therefore, we get;

\begin{array}{cc}Length \ of \ Tomato \ Patch \ (in \ feet)&Area \ of \ Vegetable \ Garden \ (in  \ square \ feet)\\\ [6.25]&338\\6.5&[242.625]\\  \ [6.75]&147.25\\7&[51.875]\end{array}

To make a profit, a company’s revenue must be greater than its operating costs. The company’s revenue is modeled by the expressi
myrzilka [38]
Revenue = 7.5x - 100
Operation Costs = 5.8x + 79.86

To break even, operation cost = Revenue
⇒ 7.5x - 100 = 5.8x + 79.86
7.5x = 5.8x + 179.86 (Add 100 to both sides)

7.5x - 5.8x = 179.86
1.7x = 179.86
x = 105.8

This implies that the company will need to sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

The inequality that will determine the number of items at need to be sold to make a profit is x ≥ 106

The solution to the inequality is as follows

Revenue = 7.5x - 100
if x =106
Revenue = 7.5(106) - 100
Revenue = 695

Operational Cost = 5.8x + 79.86
if x = 106
Operational Cost = 5.8(106) + 79.86
Operational Cost = 694.66

Profit ≥ (695 - 694.66)
Profit ≥ 0.34

The company must sell at least 106 items to make a profit.
