Question

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). Find the factors of function f, and use them to complete this statement. From left to right, function f has zeros at , , , and .

Answer 1

The factorized form of the given function, f(x) = 2x⁴ - x³ - 18x² + 9x, is, f(x) = x(2x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 3), and the complete statement is, From left to right, function f has zeros at x = -3, x = 0, x = 1/2, and x = 3.

In the question, we are asked to find the factors of the function f, and complete the given statement.

The function f, given to us is:

f(x) = 2x⁴ - x³ - 18x² + 9x.

To factor the function, we first group the terms as follows:

f(x) = (2x⁴ - 18x²) - (x³ - 9x).

Now, we take common terms out of the group as follows:

f(x) = 2x²(x² - 9) - x(x² - 9).

Now, we again take common terms, as follows:

f(x) = (2x² - x)(x² - 9),

or, f(x) = x(2x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 3).

This is the factored form of the given function, f.

The statement given to us is:

From left to right, function f has zeros at x = _, x = _, x = _, and x = _.

To find the zeroes of the function, we equate the factorized form to 0.

x(2x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 3) = 0.

By zero-product rule, the zeroes are at:

x = 0,

2x - 1 = 0, or, x = 1/2,

x + 3 = 0, or, x = -3,

x - 3 = , or, x = 3.

Arranging these in ascending order, the zeroes are at: -3, 0, 1/2, and 3.

Thus, the factorized form of the given function, f(x) = 2x⁴ - x³ - 18x² + 9x, is, f(x) = x(2x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 3), and the complete statement is, From left to right, function f has zeros at x = -3, x = 0, x = 1/2, and x = 3.
