Jenny has nine marbles, but her best friend Susie gives her ten more! However, the neighborhood bully, Danny, steals four marbles from her. Jenny's marbles are all of very high quality, so she trades each of her marbles for three of John's marbles apiece. The very next day is Jenny's birthday so she receives seven marbles from her parents, and finally gives two to her sister. How many marbles does she have now?

Recall the definition of a polynomial expression. find two polynomial expressions whose quotient, when simplified,is. use that division problem to determine whether polynomials are closed under division. then describe how theother three operations-addition, subtraction, and multiplication-are different from division of polynomials.

If f(x)=3x+1 and f^-1=x-1/3, then f^-1(7)=

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
