Answer:

m=12

Explanation:

Given any quadratic function, y=ax²+bx+c.

We can determine the nature of the roots of such quadratic function by examining the discriminant, D where:

D=b^2-4ac

• If D>0, the roots are real and unequal.

,

• If D=0, the roots are real and equal.

,

• If D<0, the roots are complex.

In our given equation:

\begin{gathered} y=18x^2+mx+2 \\ a=18,b=m,c=2 \end{gathered}

For the function to have exactly one zero, the value of D=0.

\begin{gathered} D=b^2-4ac=m^2-4(18)(2)=m^2-144 \\ D=0\implies m^2-144=0 \\ Add\text{ 144 to both sides.} \\ m^2=144 \\ Take\text{ the square root of both sides} \\ \sqrt{m^2}=\sqrt{144} \\ m=12 \end{gathered}

The value of m for which the function will have one zero is 12.

Twelve decreased by twice a number is -8. Find the number
drek231 [11]
<h2>Solution :- </h2>

Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :

• 2x - 12 = -8

Further solving

→ 2x = -8 + 12

→ 2x = 4 .

→ x = 2

Find a polynomial function that has the given zeros. (there are many correct answers.) 0, 1, 6
aev [14]
Since those are the zeros, we can say that the equation would have to be
x(x-1)(x-6), then we just expand to get x^3 - 7x^2 + 6x

Answer:

m<R ≈ 22.62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = R

Side opposite to R = 5 cm

Adjacent side length = 12 cm

Thus, applying TOA, we have:

Tan R = opp/adj

Tan R = 5/12

R = tan^{-1}(5/12)

R ≈ 22.62° (nearest hundredth)

The graph of f(x)=2x^3+x^2-4x-2 is shown. How many of the roots of f(x) are rational
Alexeev081 [22]

We can one theorem to help us find rational roots of this polynomial.

2x^3 + x^2 - 4x - 2

We'll use Descartes' rule of signs.

Because there is 1 sign change, 1 of the 3 roots will be positive.

Now we can make the value of x -1 to see how many negative roots there will be.

-2  + 1 + 4 - 2

There are 2 sign changes, so we know there will be 2 negative roots.

Because of this, we should have 3 real, rational roots.
