The zeros of the cubic function f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 are given as follows:

x = 5, x = -1 + i, x = -1 - i.

<h3>How to obtain the solutions to the equation?</h3>

The equation is defined by the rule presented as follows:

f(x) = 2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20.

One solution for the equation is given as follows:

x = 5.

Because f(5) = 0.

Then (x - 5) is a linear factor of the function f(x), which can be written as follows:

2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 = (ax² + bx + c)(x - 5).

This is because the product of a linear function and a quadratic function results in a cubic function.

Now we expand the right side to begin finding the coefficients of the quadratic function that we are going to solve to find the remaining zeros:

2x³ - 6x² - 16x - 20 =  = ax³ + (b - 5a)x² + (c - 5b)x - 5c.

Then these coefficients are obtained comparing the left and the right side of the equality as follows:

  • a = 2.
  • -5c = -20 -> c = 4.
  • b = -6 + 5a = 4.

Hence the equation is:

2x² + 4x + 4.

Using a quadratic equation calculator, the remaining zeros are given as follows:

  • x = -1 + i.
  • x = -1 - i.

Answer:

\sqrt{40} or 6.32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between two points by using this formula

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

where the x and y values are derived from the given points

The points given are ( -2 , 5 ) and ( 4 , 3 )

So we plug in the x and y values of those coordinates into the distance formula

\sqrt{(4-(-2)^2+(3-5)^2} \\4-(-2)=6\\3-5=-2\\d=\sqrt{6^2+-2^2} \\6^2=36\\-2^2=4\\36+4=40\\d=\sqrt{40}

or 6.32

The sum of two numbers is 51.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

21 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 51

x - y = 9

add the two equations and y's will cancel out

2x = 42  divide by 2

x = 21   so put 21 in for x in the top equation and solve

21 + y = 51

y = 30
