The favorable polynomial with a GCF of 3x will be 21x² + 41x + 10.
What is a polynomial?
A polynomial in mathematics is an expression made up of coefficients and indeterminates and involves only the operations of multiplication, addition, subtraction, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.
The polynomial will be solved as below:-
21x³ + 35x²
Form 1:
21x³ + 35x² - unfactored
Form 2:
7x²(3x + 5) - factored with GCF of 7x² brought to the front
You could also multiply two binomials and make a quadratic.
E = (7x + 2)(3x + 5)
E = 7x(3x + 5) + 2(3x + 5)
E = 21x² + 35x + 6x + 10

2) What is the smallest number of paintballs that Carolina can buy along with the entrance fee to get the promotion?
paintballs
Inequalities are used to show unequal expressions; in other words, it is the opposite of equalities.
The inequality that represents the scenario is, [tex]18 + 0.08B \ge 75[/tex] and the smallest number of balls Carolina can buy is 713
Given that:
[tex]Entrance\ Fee = \$18[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \$0.08[/tex] per ball
Let:
[tex]B \to Balls[/tex]
The amount (A) Carolina can spend on B balls is:
A = Entrance Fee + Rate * B
This gives:
[tex]A = 18 + 0.08 * B[/tex]
[tex]A = 18 + 0.08B[/tex]
To get $10, Carolina must spend $75 or more.
This means:
[tex]A \ge 75[/tex]
So, the inequality is:
[tex]18 + 0.08B \ge 75[/tex]
The smallest number of balls is calculated as follows:
[tex]18 + 0.08B \ge 75[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]0.08B \ge 75 - 18[/tex]
[tex]0.08B \ge 57[/tex]
Divide both sides by 0.08
[tex]B \ge 712.5[/tex]
Round up
[tex]B \ge 713[/tex]
Hence, the inequality is [tex]18 + 0.08B \ge 75[/tex] and the smallest number of balls is 713

Arthur drops a ball from a height of 81 feet above the ground. Its height, h, is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 81, where t is the time in seconds. For which interval of time is the height of the ball less than 17 feet?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.
Create an inequality that represents this situation:
[tex]-16t^2+81<17[/tex] The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.
The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:
[tex]-16t^2<-64[/tex] then divide both sides by -16:
[tex]t^2>4[/tex] Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is
t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's denote the number of members ordered chicken a, the number of members ordered beef b.
We have:
a + b = 12 (total number of members is 12)
10a + 14b = 136 (the chicken costs 10$, the beef costs 14$)
a + b = 12 => a = 12 - b
Substitute a into second equation, we have:
10(12 - b) + 14b = 136
=> 120 - 10b + 14b = 136
=> 4b = 16
=> b = 4
=> a = 12 - b = 12 - 4 = 8
=> Number of members ordered chicken: a = 8

Answer: 0.28157
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, The proportion of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborhood: p= 0.75
Number of citizens are chosen: n= 10
Let x be the binomial variable that represents the number of citizens favor the building of the police substation.
Then, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation will be :
[tex]P(x=8)=\ ^{10}C_8(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^2[/tex]
[Using binomial probability function [tex]P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]]
[tex]=\dfrac{10!}{8!2!}(0.100113)(0.0625)\\\\=0.2815678125\approx0.28157[/tex]
Hence, the probability that exactly 8 of them favor the building of the police substation =0.28157

Answer:
20 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If your computer can download a movie in 5 hours, then it downloads [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of a movie in 1 hour.
The extra processor in 1 hour, reduces the time down to 5 hours, so it downloads [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the movie in 1 hour.
The time that the extra processor will spend to download a whole movie added to [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] will equal [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] .
So our equation is [tex]\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex].
To simplify this, lets multiply all sides by 20x.
[tex](\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{x} \cdot 20x) = \frac{1}{4}\cdot20x\\ 4x + 20 = 5x[/tex]
Now we can simplify this equation.
[tex]20 = 5x-4x\\\\20 = x\\x = 20[/tex]
So the extra processor alone would take 20 hours to download the movie.

A penny is dropped from a height of 144 feet. Calculate the time between when the rock was dropped and when it landed. If we choose
"down" as positive and ignore air friction, the function is h(t) 16t2 - 144.
Answer:
3 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
h(t) = 16t2 - 144.
h = height = 144 and t = time after t seconds the ball penny was dropped.
When the penny lands, h = 0
Therefore, our function becomes ;
16t2 - 144 = 0
The we can solve for t
16t^2 - 144 = 0
16t^2 = 144
Divide both sides by 16
(16t^2 / 16) = 144 / 16
t^2 = 9
Take the square root of both sides
t = 3
Therefore, the time between when the rock was dropped and when it landed is 3seconds
Answer:
t = 3 seconds

A waffle cone has a height of 7 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. What is the volume of ice cream that can be contained within the cone? Use 3.14 to for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
15.43 in^3
16.49 in^3
17.86 in^3
18.89 in^3
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
To find the volume of a cone, we multiply the base by the height and then divide by three.
First, we find the area of the base, which is a circle. To find a circle, you square the radius and then multiply by pi (or 3.14 in our case).
Radius is half of the diameter.
3/2=1.5
We square this.
1.5²=2.25
We multiply by 3.14
2.25×3.14=7.065
Now, we multiply this base area by the height.
7.065×7=49.455
We divide by 3.
49.455/3=16.485
Therefore, if we round this, our answer is 16.49 in³.
Now you can find the volume of a cone! Have a wonderful day! :D

The distance from Parrot Point Airport to the Ivy Cliffs is 178 miles at and angle of 7.1 degrees northeast. There is a wind blowing southeast at 30 miles per hour. You want to make this trip in 2 hours by flying straight there. At what speed* and heading should you fly? * Round the speed to the nearest tenth of a mile per hour and angle to the nearest tenth of a degree. Where north is 0 degrees and positive is clockwise.
Answer:
The speed is 74.0 miles per hour and the angle is 65.1° north-east
Step-by-step explanation:
We resolve the distance moved by the wind and plane into horizontal and vertical components. The direction moved horizontally by the plane is 178sin7.1 = 22 miles.
Since the wind is moving south east, it is at 45 south of east or a bearing of 135.
Since the wind speed is 30 mph and it takes 2 hours to complete the trip, the horizontal distance moved by the wind is vtcos135 = 30 × 2cos45 = 42.43 miles
Also, the vertical displacement moved by the wind is vtsin135 = -30 × 2 sin45 = -42.43 miles
The displacement moved vertically by the plane is 178cos7.1 = 176.64 miles
The total horizontal displacement of the plane is 22 miles + 42.43 miles = 62.43 miles
The total vertical displacement of the plane is 176.64 miles - 42.43 miles = 134.21 miles
The resultant displacement is thus d = √(62.43² + 134.21²) = 148.02 miles
The direction of this displacement is thus
Ф = tan⁻¹(total vertical displacement/total horizontal displacement)
= tan⁻¹(134.21/62.43)
= tan⁻¹(2.1498)
= 65.05°
= 65.1° to the nearest tenth degree.
The speed is thus v = distance/ time = 148.02 miles/ 2 hours = 74.01 mph ≅ 74 mph. Since the direction of the displacement is the direction of the velocity, the velocity is thus 74 miles per hour at 65.1° north-east.
So the speed is 74.0 miles per hour and the angle is 65.1° north-east
The Hernandez family ordered one jumbo pizza with a diameter of 20 inches, cut it into 15 equal slices, and had 3 slices left over after dinner. The Mullins family ordered two medium pizzas, each with a diameter of 12 inches, cut them into 8 equal slices each, and had 6 slices left over after dinner. How much pizza did the Mullins family eat as a fraction of the pizza the Hernandez family ate?
Answer: Mullins family eat [tex]\dfrac{9}{20}[/tex] of the pizza the Hernandez family ate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of circle = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex] , where r is the radius
Given, Diameter of Hernandez family's pizza = 20 inches
Radius = [tex]\dfrac{20}{2}[/tex] = 10 inches
Area of Hernandez family's pizza = [tex]\pi (10)^2=100\pi \text{ in.}^2[/tex]
Since, they divide pizza into 15 pieces , area of each slice = [tex]\dfrac{100\pi}{15}=\dfrac{20}{3}\pi\text{ in.}^2[/tex]
They left with 3 slices i.e. they ate 12 slices, area of all 12 slices = 12 x (area of each slice)
= [tex]12\times\dfrac{20}{3}\pi\text{ in.}^2= 80\pi\text{ in.}^2[/tex]
Diameter of Mullins family's pizza = 12 inches
Radius = [tex]\dfrac{12}{2}[/tex] = 6 inches
Area of Mullins family's pizza = [tex]\pi (12)^2=144\pi \text{ in.}^2[/tex]
Since, they divide pizza into 8 pieces , area of each slice = [tex]\dfrac{144\pi}{8}=18\pi\text{ in.}^2[/tex]
They left with 6 slices i.e. they ate 2 slices, area of all 2 slices = 2 x (area of each slice)
= [tex]2\times18\pi\text{ in.}^2=36\pi\text{ in.}^2[/tex]
Since, [tex]\dfrac{36\pi}{80\pi}=\dfrac{9}{20}[/tex]
Hence, Mullins family eat [tex]\dfrac{9}{20}[/tex] of the pizza the Hernandez family ate.

Consider the two functions. Which statement is true?
A)Function 1 has a greater rate of change by 13/4
B)Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4
C)Function 1 has a greater rate of change by 13/2
D)Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/2
Answer: Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We must work with linear equations, remember that the general shape is:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Ok, first we want to find the rate of change (or the slope) of the graphed line:
We know that for a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
The slope is:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Then for the graphed function, we can see that it passes through the points:
(0, -2) and (4, 0)
Then the slope is:
a = (0 -(-2))/(4 - 0) = 2/4 = 1/2
Now, the slope of the second line is 15/4.
Let's calculate the difference between the slopes:
15/4 - 1/2 = 15/4 - 2/4 = 13/4
(notice that we are calculating slope2 - slope1)
Then the correct option is:
Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4
Answer:
B) Function 2 has a greater rate of change by 13/4

Which value of m will create a system of parallel lines with no solution? y=mx-6 8x-4y=12 A coordinate grid with one line labeled 8 x minus 4 y equals 12. The line passes through a point at (0, negative 3), (1, negative 1) and a point at (1.5, 0). -2 - 2
Answer:
A system of parallel lines will be created where the two lines will never meet and have no common solution at a value of m = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the given line is 8·x - 4·y = 12
Which gives;
8·x- 12= 4·y
y = 2·x - 3
Given that the line passes through the points (0, -3) and (1, -1), we have;
[tex]Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]
When (x₁, y₁) = (0. -3) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, -1), we have;

y - (-3) = 2×(x - 0)
y = 2·x - 3 which is the equation of the given line
For the lines 8·x - 4·y = 12, which is the sane as y = 2·x - 3 and the line y = m·x - 6 to have no solution, the slope of the two lines should be equal that is m = 2
Given that the line passes through the point (1.5, 0), we have;
y - 0 = 2×(x - 1.5)
y = 2·x - 3...................(1)
For the equation, y = m·x - 6, when m = 2, we have;
y = 2·x - 6..................(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2) gives;
2·x - 3 = 2·x - 6, which gives;
2·x - 2·x= - 3 - 6
0 = 9
Therefore, a system of parallel lines will be created where the two lines will never meet and have no common solution at a value of m = 2.

Answer:
(D) [tex]p^{2} -9p+18[/tex]
Step-by-step Explanation:
Assuming that the equation [tex]x^{2} -2[/tex] = p, we can convert the equation into this.
[tex]p^{2} +18=9p[/tex]
We can convert [tex]9x^{2} -18[/tex] into 9p because [tex]x^{2} -2[/tex] × 9 = [tex]9x^{2} -18[/tex]
Now we simplify this equation.
We can subtract 9p from both sides of the equation.
[tex]p^{2} +18-9p = 0[/tex]
Re-ordering the equation gets us:
[tex]p^{2} -9p+18[/tex]
So, (D) [tex]p^{2} -9p+18[/tex] is equivalent to the original expression of [tex](x^{2} -2)^{2} + 18 = 9x^{2} -18[/tex]
