Karen and Dale and Tom sent a total of 84 messages during the weekend. Dale sent six fewer messages and Karen and Tom sent four times as many as Karen. How many did they send each.

Karen: 15; Dale: 9; Tom: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

"Karen and Dale and Tom sent a total of 84 messages during the weekend."

k + d + t = 84

"Dale sent six fewer messages than Karen"

d = k - 6

"Tom sent four times as many as Karen."

t = 4k

Substitute k - 6 for d and 4k for t in the first equation.

k + d + t = 84

k + k - 6 + 4k = 84

6k - 6 = 84

6k = 90

k = 15

d = k - 6 = 16 - 6 = 9

t = 4k = 4(15) = 60

Karen: 15; Dale: 9; Tom: 60

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )
