Kaylen has 2 packages to mail. the packages weigh 6 1/8 lbs total. if her first package weighs 4 1/2 lbs total, then how many pounds does her second package weigh?

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Kaylen is going to mail 2 packages, where

the total weight of the packages is given by

And the weight of the first package is

Therefore, the weight of the second package will be

Thus, the weight is

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
