Answer:  The necessary factored form of the polynomial is (x-4)(x-12).

Step-by-step explanation:  We are tasked with determining the factored version of this polynomial:

P(x)=x^2-16x+48.

To achieve the factored form, we need to identify two numbers that add up to 16 and multiply to 48.

The required numbers are 12 and 4.

The factorization proceeds as follows:

P(x)\\\\=x^2-16x+48\\\\=x^2-(12+4)x+48\\\\=x^2-12x-4x+48\\\\=x(x-12)-4(x-12)\\\\=(x-4)(x-12).

Thus, the necessary factored representation of the polynomial is (x-4)(x-12).

AnnZ [12381]

Response:

If there are "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of a mixture containing '20% peanuts and 80% almonds', then we can formulate the following equations:

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

The solution yields 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture.

Detailed explanation:

In the mixture that Delaney desires to create, there will be

\frac {10 \times 60}{100} lb

= 6 lb of peanuts

Thus, there will be (10 - 6) lb

= 4 lb of almonds

If Delaney has "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of the '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then based on the problem statement,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

From equation (2), we derive

m = 5 --------------(3)

From (1) and (3), we find that

p = (10 - 5) = 5

Talia wants to write the equation of the graphed line in point-slope form. These are the steps she plans to use:
Zina [12379]

Examining Talia's steps to derive the line equation, we identify the erroneous step as detailed below:
Step 1:
Select a point on the line, such as (2,5)
Step 2:
<span>Select another point on the line, such as (1, 3)
Step 3:
</span><span>Measure units to find the slope. The line moves 1 unit to the right and 2 units upward, resulting in a slope of
(5-3)/(2-1) = 2/1 = 2
Step 4:
</span><span>Apply these values in the point-slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = 2(x - 1)
y = 2x + 1
Hence, the conclusion is:
</span><span>Step 4 is erroneous due to incorrect application of (1, 3) in the point-slope format.</span>

How many solutions does the equation sin(5x) = 1/2 have on the interval (0, 2PI]
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

Sin(5x) = ½

5x = arcSin(½)

5x = 30°

Then,

The general formula for sin is

5θ = n180 + (-1)ⁿθ

Dividing throughout by 5

θ = n•36 + (-1)ⁿ30/5

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

The solution range is

0<θ<2π which means 0<θ<360

First solution

When n = 0

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿθ

θ = 0×36 + (-1)^0×6

θ = 6°

When n = 1

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36-6

θ = 30°

When n = 2

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×2 + 6

θ = 78°

When n =3

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×3 - 6

θ = 102°

When n=4

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×4 + 6

θ = 150

When n=5

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×5 - 6

θ = 174°

When n = 6

θ = 36n+ (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×6 + 6

θ = 222°

When n = 7

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×7 - 6

θ = 246°

When n =8

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×8 + 6

θ = 294°

When n =9

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×9 - 6

θ = 318°

When n =10

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×10 + 6

θ = 366°

When n = 10 surpasses the θ range

Thus, the solutions range from n =0 to n=9

Therefore, there are 10 solutions within the interval 0<θ<2π

a video game arcade offers a yearly membership with reduced rates for game play. A single membership costs $60 per year. Game to
PIT_PIT [12445]

The slope equals $0.10        (since $1.00 per 10 tokens translates to $0.10 per token)

The y-intercept is $60    (the fixed yearly membership fee)

The linear equation is y = 0.10x + 60    (following y = mx + b)  

The domain consists of all x values where x ≥ 0        (negative token quantities are impossible)

The range includes all y values with y ≥ 60        (plugging the domain values into the function)

The y-intercept of this function stands at $60
