h =15 + 3.2t gives the height of a shrub in inches after t weeks.
When planting occurs the height is 15 + 3.2× 0 = 15 inches.
After one week the height is 15 + 3.2× 1 = 18.2 inches
The rate at which the height increases is 18.2 - 15 = 3.2 inches
The distance between numbers can be found by using absolute values (|a| or abs(a)).
The distance between these numbers is abs(-3/7 − -2/3 )
= abs(-(3/7 -2/3))
= abs(3/7 -2/3)
= abs(9/21 - 14/21)
= abs(-5/21 )
=5/21
The correct answer is 25%. The percentage discount is the reduction in price divided by the original price. The difference between original price and sale price is:
$60.59 − $45.44 = $15.15
The percentage discount is this difference divided by the original price:
$15.15 ÷ $60.59 = 0.25
Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying by 100%:
0.25 × 100% = 25%
Begin by looking for anything that is common to all three terms.
You should notice that each of the coefficients is divisible by three and that each of the x-terms has a power of 2 or more.
Factor out a 3 from each term and you have 3(4x⁴ - 9x³ + 2x²).
Next, factor out x2 from each term and you are left with 3x²(4x² - 9x + 2).
The portion inside the parentheses can be further factored as follows:
3x²(4x² - 9x + 2) = 3x²(4x - 1) (x - 2)
This step may take a bit of trial and error, but you should be able to find it without too much trouble.
Look at the answer choices to get a hint. If a combination you are considering is not a choice, then it is not the correct answer.
If you are having trouble factoring the problem, you can always work backwards. Look at the answer choices and multiply them out to see which one gives the original problem as its answer.
This method is more time consuming, but it will yield a correct answer if you get stumped.
The correct answer is $350. One method for solving this problem is to recognize that the ratio of the amount Zia spends on food to the amount he spends on transportation will equal the ratio of the percent of his income spent on food to the percent spent on transportation. Expressed mathematically:
$Food/210 = 25/15
$Food x 15 = $210x25
$Food = ($210x25)/15 = $350
Begin by factoring the numerator. Assume that (the denominator) is one of the factors for a quick start to the process.
At this point, you should have the following: 2x² + x - 6 = (x + 2) (2x - ?).
The first term of the second set of parentheses must be 2x because 2x² ÷ x = 2x.
The sign of the second set must be negative because a positive times a negative equals a negative, and the original problem has -6 as the final term in the numerator.
To determine what replaces the “?” above, determine what number multiplied by 2 equals 6. The answer is 3.
Now you have fully factored the numerator:2x² + x - 6 = (x + 2) (2x - 3).
Rewrite the original problem, substituting the factored numerator for the original numerator and solve:
(2x² + x - 6) / (x + 2) = ((x + 2) (2x - 3)) / (x + 2) = 2x - 3
One third of 84 is 84 × 1/3 = 84÷3 = 28. 28 people 25 years old or younger applied for the scholarship.
Two seventh of 84 is 84 × 2/7= 2×84÷7 = 24.
24 people who were at least 50 years old applied for the scholarship. 84 - 28 - 24 = 32.
32 people applied for the scholarship who were between 25 and 50.
The correct answer is (2,7), (3,6), (−4,5).
One way to solve this problem is to draw the figure and then count how many units each point is from the y-axis, and to then count the same number of units in the opposite direction to find each point’s reflection. A more efficient method is to recognize that reflecting over the y-axis causes the x-value to switch sign and does not influence the y-value of the point.
Reflecting (−2,7), (−3,6), (4,5) across the y-axis produces the points (2,7), (3,6), (−4,5).
Rearranging the equation gives 3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5), which is equivalent to 15y - 3y = 12 + 75, or 12y = 87, and solving for y, y = 87/12 = 29/4
10 workers can make a furniture in 5 days.
Each worker makes 1/10 of the furniture in 5 days. In 5 days 7 worker would make 7 × 1/10 of the furniture.
In 5 days 7 worker would make 7/10 of the furniture.
The correct answer is 6 units left and 2 units up. The rule of translation is the rule, which when applied to the first set of points, yields the second set of points. The difference between the x values of the non-translated and translated points is:
(x2 − x1) = (−3 − 3) = (0 − 6) = (−5 − 1) = −6
This corresponds to a shift of 6 units to the left.
Likewise, for the y values:
(y2 − y1) = (3 − 1) = (3 − 1) = (5 − 3) = 2
The correct answer is 1/5. Evaluate the expression by first distributing the −2 through the parentheses and then combining like terms:
4x + 3x − 2x – 10 = −9
7x − 2x − 10 = −9
5x = 1
x = 1/5
If 1/4, 2/3, 4/7, 1/2 are converted to decimals we get 0.25, 0.6666...., 0.571....., 0.5 then the correct order is obvious
or
If 1/4, 2/3, 4/7, 1/2 are converted to fractions with a common denominator 21/84, 56/84, 48/84, 42/84 then the correct order is obvious.
The zeros of an expression are the points at which the corresponding y-values are 0.
Thus, the zeros of the expression, represented by the given factors, will occur at the x-values that have corresponding y-values of 0.
Setting each factor equal to 0 gives x + 5 = 0 and x - 6 = 0.
Solving for x gives x = -5 and x = 6.
Thus, the zeros of the expression are x = -5 and x = 6.

Adding 10 to n gives n + 10.
Multiplying the number obtained by 3 gives 3(n + 10).
Making this equal to 42 gives 3(n + 10) = 42.
The polynomial can be factored as (x - 7) (x + 3). Thus, (x - 7) is a factor of the given polynomial.
The correct answer is 32.67. Recall that the % symbol means ‘per hundred.’ So, 181.5% is equivalent to 181.5/100 or 1.815.
Converting a percentage to a decimal always entails moving the decimal point two places to the left. Multiply this decimal value with 18 to answer the question:
1.815 × 18 = 32.67
The sale price of the phone is 1.12×280 = $313.60.
The tax is $313.60 - $280 = $33.60.
y =30-5x and y = 0
Hence 30 - 5x = 0
Hence 30 = 5x, divide both sides to 5. x = 6
