Determine the intervals on which f(x) is x>0 and on which f(x) is x<0.

Mathematics

Simora [160]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  • f(x) > 0 for (-2.203, -1) U (2.203, ∞)
  • f(x) < 0 for (-∞, -2.203) U (-1, 2.203)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows real zeros at ±2.203 and -1. The value of f(x) changes sign at each of these.

The positive leading coefficient indicates the graph trends generally upward, so the function will be positive in intervals with an even number of zeros to the right.

<h3>f(x) positive</h3>

There are an even number of zeros to the right of x = 2.203 and the interval (-2.203, -1).

  f(x) is positive in the intervals (-2.203, -1) or (2.203, ∞).

<h3>f(x) negative</h3>

The function will be negative where it is not positive (except at the zeros)

  f(x) is negative in the intervals (-∞, -2.203) or (-1, 2.203).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The graph shows the only rational real root of the function is x=-1. Using synthetic division to reduce the polynomial, we find ...

  f(x) = (x +1)(x^4 -3x^2 -9)

The remaining factor is a quadratic in x^2, which has roots ...

  x = ±√(1.5 ±√11.25)

The real roots are approximately ±2.20320266118. The value 2.203 used above is a stand-in for the exact value √(1.5 +√11.25)).

a cord of wood is a bundle measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet. What's the volume of a cord of wood in cubic feet?
lisabon 2012 [21]
To find the volume of a rectangular prism, like this one, we take the measure of the Width, Length, and Height and multiply them together. So the answer is: 4*4*8. 4*4=16, and 16*8=128, so the answer is 128 Cubic Feet.

Give an example of how you use positive and negative numbers, and explain the meaning of 0 in your example.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Meanings of the numbers:

Most numbers represent an amount. Positive numbers represent above zero. Zero is the only number that does not represent an amount. It means nothing. When you go lower than nothing, you are in the negative numbers. Negative numbers represent absent values pretty much.

How I would use them in every day life:

I would use positive numbers to represent... maybe something I'm trying to get at a store. Ex: 4 bananas

I would use negative numbers to... maybe look at the temperature. Ex: -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative numbers are in temperature all the time.

Hope this helps! (^-^)
