The values of m and n from the given equation are 1/4 and -2

<h3>Polynomial functions</h3>

Given the polynomial function below

f(x) = mx^4+2x^3-3x^2+nx-4

If the zeros are 2 and -2, hence;

0 = 16m+16-12+2n-4
0 = 16m-16+12-2n-4

_______________
16m+2n = 0
16m - 2n = 8

Subtract

2n+2n = -8
4n = -8

n = -2

Substitute for "m'

16m + 2(-2) = 0
16m = 4

m = 1/4

Hence the values of m and n from the given equation are 1/4 and -2

A cube has sides with a length of 1/3 cm. What is its volume?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

1 / 27 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

side = 1 / 3 cm

To find : Volume ( cube ) = ?

Formula : -

Volume ( cube ) = ( side )^3

Volume ( cube )

= ( 1 / 3 )^3

= 1^3 / 3^3

= 1 / 27

= 1 / 27 cm^3

Find the value.<br> 9x+6 when x=-2/3

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$- \frac{2}{3}$

Now, let's find the value of 9x + 6

$9x + 6$

plug the value of X

$= 9 \times (- \frac{2}{3} ) + 6$

Multiplying a positive and negative equals a negative

$( + ) \times ( - ) = ( - )$

$= - 9 \times \frac{2}{3} + 6$

Reduce the number with Greatest Common Factor 3

$= - 3 \times 2 + 6$

Multiply the numbers

$= - 6 + 6$

The sum of two opposites equals 0

$= 0$

Hope this helps..

best regards!!

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels 16 miles per hou

Verizon [17]

We'll use variables to represent the speeds of the eastbound and westbound trains.

x will represent the speed of the eastbound train.
y will represent the speed of the westbound train.

The eastbound train is 16 mph faster than the westbound train. An equation can be made from this:

$x - y = 16$

Subtraction is used, because it represents the difference in distances between the two trains if they travel the same direction.

After 4 hours, the trains are 800 miles apart. An equation can be made from this:

$4x + 4y = 800$

Addition is used, because the trains are heading in opposite directions, which means their distances from the starting point are added together.

Set the two equations up vertically:

$x - y = 16$
$4x + 4y = 800$

We will use elimination to solve for x.

Multiply the entire first equation by 4 so that the coefficients for y will be opposite numbers:

$(x - y = 16) \times 4 = 4x - 4y = 64$

$4x - 4y = 64$
$4x + 4y = 800$

Combine the two equations together to cancel out y:

$8x = 864$

Divide both sides by 8 to get x by itself:

$x = 108$

The speed of the eastbound train is 108 mph.
