What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x4 − x2 − 2?

Mathematics

Answer:

x = ± \sqrt{2} , x = ± i

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^{4} - x² - 2

to find the zeros , equate f(x) to zero , that is

x^{4} - x² - 2 = 0

using the substitution u = x² , then

u² - u - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

(u - 2)(u + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u - 2 = 0 ⇒ u = 2

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

convert u back into terms of x

x² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{2}

x² = - 1 ( take square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i

The function for the cost of materials to make a muffin is f(x) = Three fourths x + 3, where x is the number of muffins. The fun
larisa [96]

So first let’s put g(f(x)) together by putting f(x) for every x in g(x)

We get g(f(x))=3(3/4x+3)+4 which is the selling price equation

Then you plug in 20 to find the selling price for 20 muffins.

g(f(x))=3(3/4(20)+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(60/4+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(18)+4

g(f(x))=54+4

g(f(x))=58

So the selling price will be $58 for 20 muffins.

A farmer has a collapsable grain bag which can expand both vertically and horizontally as he needs it to. He wants to find a fun
bija089 [108]

Answer:

3x^{3}+15x^{2}+x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the area of the bag can be represented by the function f(x)=3x^{2} +1 and as the bag is raised up its height can be represented by the function g(x)=x +5.

Since we know that we can find volume of cuboid by multiplying base area to its height. We are given area and height of bag as functions. Now we will find volume of the bag by multiplying these functions.  

\text{Volume of collapsible bag}=f(x)*g(x)  

\text{Volume of collapsible bag}=(3x^{2}+1)*(x +5)

After using distributive property we will get,

\text{Volume of collapsible bag}=3x^{2}(x+5)+1(x+5)

\text{Volume of collapsible bag}=3x^{3}+15x^{2}+x+5

Therefore, the collapsible bag can hold 3x^{3}+15x^{2}+x+5 grain.
