Hi there!
We are asked to find the graph that represents the cubic function y = x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6. To do this, we have to find the roots of the function, and we can do that by using the Rational Root Theorem, which is basically constant over the leading coefficient.
<u>+</u> 6 / <u>+</u> 1
Now, just list all the factors of 6 and replace that as the numerators.
Factors: 1, 2, 3, 6
<u>+</u>1, <u>+</u>2, <u>+</u>3, <u>+</u>6 / <u>+</u>1
Now, just simplify for each one. We get the possible roots: 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 6, -6. All we have to do now is plug each one back into the equation and see which ones turn out to evaluate the function to zero. After doing so, we get the roots 1, -2, and 3. Now, look for the graph that has x-intercepts of 1, -2, and 3, and the only graph that works is Graph B. Therefore, the graph that represents the function y = x³ - 2x² - 5x + 6 is Graph B. Hope this helps and have a marvelous day!

6^2r=800 round it to the nearest hundreth
kogti [31]

Question: solve for r: 6 ^ (2r) = 800


Answer: 1.87


Step-by-step explanation:

6 ^ (2r) = 800

log(6 ^ (2r)) = log(800)

2r log(6) = log(800)

r = log(800) / (2 log(6))

r = 1.86537641979

round

r = 1.87

log can be any logarithm function.


6^(2×1.86) = 784.734328546

6^(2×1.87) = 813.365367336

Cheryl paid $37.20 for 12 gallons of ice cream for a school picnic. How much would 1 quart of ice cream cost?
Stells [14]
First, you need to get to one gallon, which is 37.20 divided by 12. (3.1)
Divide that number by four, which is: 0.775, or 0.78 rounded up to the nearest hundredth.
Hope that helped.
