Penny has a rectangular flower garden. The following polynomial gives the volume, V, of the garden with soil height, h. V(h) = h3 +5h2 – 24h
The product (h+8)(h-3) is a factor of the polynomial V(h). What does this product represent?

answers below.

-one-half of the volume of the flower garden
-the area of one of the bases of the flower garden
-two-thirds of the volume of the flower garden
-the surface area of one of the lateral faces of the flower garden

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)

im guessing (23,14). hope this : )

there is no picture in order for this question to be answered
