Billy started with 15 cookies and sold x amount for his boy scout club. Cecilia started with 25 cookies and sold twice as many cookies as Billy did. How many cookies did Cecilia sell if they had the same number of cookies left?

too many. (jk)

31 v bucks

step-by-step explanation:

since you bought 25 on friday and 6 on tuesday, you can just add them up.

25+6=31

check your work.

31-6=25

i hope this !

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.
