Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Ana started the work nicely by multiplying out factors to get:\

(x+4)(x+2)(2x+1)(x-2)=0

She multiplied (x+2)(x-2) correctly using difference of two squares to get: x^2-4

Unfortunately: She made a mistake in multiplying (x+4)(2x+1) she mistakenly got x^2+9x+4 instead of 2x^2+9x+4. <em>She left out the coefficient of 2.</em>

Therefore the second step should have been:

(x^2-4)(2x^2+9x+4)

The next step will now be:

2x^4+9x^3+4x^2-8x^4-36x-16=0

This simplifies to

2x^4+9x^3-x^4-36x-16=0

musickatia [10]

Answer: Time t = 33.0 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the vertical distance H between the dock and the top of the boat's mast t seconds after its first peak is modeled by the function

H(t) = 5cos( 2π/3 ​t) − 35.5H

Where the maximum vertical distance = 5

At the down position, H(t) = 0

5cos( 2π/3 ​t) − (35.5/100)H = 0

5cos( 2π/3 ​t) − 0.355 × 5 =0

5cos( 2π/3 ​t) − 0.1775 = 0

5cos( 2π/3 ​t) = 0.1775

cos( 2π/3 ​t) = 0.1775/5

cos( 2π/3 ​t) = 0.355

2π/3 ​t = cos^-1 (0.355)

2π/3 ​t = 69.2

2πt = 69.2 × 3

2πt = 207.6

t = 207.6/2π

t = 33.0 seconds

If rounded to the nearest dime, what is the greatest amount of money the rounds to $105.40? What is the least amount of money th
NISA [10]
<span>The answer is: the least amount is 105.35 and the greatest amount is 105.44. If the number after the one you want to round is 5 or bigger, you need to round up the number. For instance, 105.35 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40. If the number after the one you want to round is smaller than 5, you need to round down the number. For instance, 105.44 is rounded to 105.4 which is equal to 105.40.</span>
