Answer:

\textsf{Factored function}: \quad f(x)=(x+2)(3x-5)(x-1)

\textsf{Zeros}: \quad x=-2, \quad x=\dfrac{5}{3},\quad x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function</u>:

f(x)=3x^3-2x^2-11x+10

If (x + 2) is a factor then:

\implies f(x)=(x+2)(ax^2+bx+c)

Expand:

\implies f(x)=ax^3+bx^2+cx+2ax^2+2bx+2c

\implies f(x)=ax^3+2ax^2+bx^2+2bx+cx+2c

\implies f(x)=ax^3+(2a+b)x^2+(2b+c)x+2c

To find <em>a</em>, compare the coefficients of x³:

\implies a=3

To find <em>b</em>, substitute the found value of <em>a</em> into the coefficient for x² and compare:

\implies 2a+b=-2

\implies 2(3)+b=-2

\implies b=-8

To find <em>c</em>, compare the constants:

\implies 2c=10

\implies c=5

Therefore:

\implies f(x)=(x+2)(3x^2-8x+5)

Now factor (3x²-8x+5):

\implies 3x^2-3x-5x+5

\implies 3x(x-1)-5(x-1)

\implies (3x-5)(x-1)

Therefore the factored function is:

\implies f(x)=(x+2)(3x-5)(x-1)

<u>Zero Product Property</u>

\boxed{\text{If \; $a \cdot b = 0$ \; then either \; $a = 0$ \;or \;$b = 0$ (or both)}.}

To find the zeros, set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

\implies x+2=0 \implies x=-2

\implies 3x-5=0 \implies x=\dfrac{5}{3}

\implies x-1=0 \implies x=1

Therefore, the zeros of the function are:

x=-2, \quad x=\dfrac{5}{3},\quad x=1

Find four fractions between 1/10 and 1/8
Alex17521 [72]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5/48, 5/46, 5/44, 5/42

Step-by-step explanation:

We can choose unit fractions with denominators between 8 and 10, separated by (10-8)/5 = 0.4 units:

  1/8.4 = 5/42

  1/8.8 = 5/44

  1/9.2 = 5/46

  1/9.6 = 5/48

__

<em>Check</em>

  • 1/8 = 0.125
  • 5/42 ≈ 0.119
  • 5/44 ≈ 0.114
  • 5/46 ≈ 0.109
  • 5/48 ≈ 0.104
  • 1/10 = 0.100

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are an infinite number of such fractions. We are given unit fractions with different denominators, so it works reasonably well to choose denominators between those given. Then the trick is to convert the fraction to a ratio of integers. In this case, multiplying by (5/5) does the trick.

__

Another approach is to write the fractions with a common denominator, then choose numerators between the ones given. For example, 1/10 = 4/40, and 1/8 = 5/40, so you could write some fractions with numerators between 4 and 5. Possibilities are 4.1/40 = 41/400, 4.3/40 = 43/400, 4.7/40 = 47/400, 4.9/40 = 49/400.

" According to the Joy Cone Company, their waffle cones have a diameter of 2 5/8 inches and a
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

No, the cone will not hold all of the ice cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

" According to the Joy Cone Company, their waffle cones have a diameter of 2 5/8 inches and a  height of 6 inches.

If you place one scoops of ice cream (in the shape of a sphere) with a diameter of 2 7/8 inches would let  it melt.

Now, to explain mathematically will the cone hold all of the ice cream.

<u>Taking the value of π = 3.14.</u>

So, to get the volume of waffle cone we put formula:

Height (h) = 6 inches.

Diameter = 2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}\ inches.

Thus radius (r) = Diameter ÷ 2 = \frac{\frac{21}{8}}{2} =\frac{21}{16} \ inches.

Volume=\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}

Volume=3.14\times \frac{21}{16} \times \frac{21}{16} \times \frac{6}{3}

Volume=3.14\times 1.31\times 1.31\times 2

Volume=10.78\ inches^3.

The volume of waffle cone = 10.78 inches³.

Now, to get the volume of scoop which is in the shape of sphere we put formula:

Diameter = 2\frac{7}{8} =\frac{23}{8} \ inches.

Thus radius (r) = Diameter ÷ 2 =\frac{\frac{23}{8}}{2} =\frac{23}{16} \ inches.

Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Volume = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14\times \frac{23}{16} \times \frac{23}{16} \times \frac{23}{16}

Volume=1.33\times 3.14\times 1.44\times 1.44\times 1.44

Volume=12.47\ inches^3.

<em>The volume of one scoop of ice cream = 12.47 inches³.</em>

<u><em>So, as the volume of scoop of ice cream is more than the volume of cone.</em></u>

<u><em>Thus, if placing one scoop of ice cream in the cone and let it melt, the cone will not hold all of the ice cream.</em></u>

Therefore, no the cone will not hold all of the ice cream.

enot [183]

Answer: 135*

Step-by-step explanation:

35* is what the bottom left side of the triangle angle equals because of congruency.

All triangles = 180*

180 - 100 - 35 = 45*

top angle of triangle = 45 *

said angle (45) +  x angle = 180

x = 135*
