Find an upper limit for the zeroes 2x^4 -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0

erik [133]

<u>Answer-</u>

2 is the upper limit for the zeros.

<u>Solution-</u>

The given function f(x) is,

$2x^4 -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0$

For calculating the zeros,

$\Rightarrow f(x)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x^4 -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0$

$\Rightarrow 2x^4-4x^3-3x^3+6x^2-2x^2+ 4x+3x-6=0$

$\Rightarrow 2x^3(x-2)-3x^2(x-2)-2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-2)(2x^3-3x^2-2x+3)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-2)(x^2(2x-3)-1(2x-3))=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-2)(x^2-1)(2x-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-2)(x+1)(x-1)(2x-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow x-2=0,\ x+1=0,\ x-1=0,\ 2x-3=0$

$\Rightarrow x=2,\ x=-1,\ x=1,\ x=\frac{3}{2}$

From all the 4 roots, it can be obtained that 2 is the greatest zero.

Can someone help meeee

Answer:

1. 0

2. undefined

3. -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-3/2. This value is constant and the x does not change the value at all. so the coordinate are going to be (x, -3/2) so if we take any 2 values you're going to get (-3/2 - (-3/2)) / (x2 - x1) = (-3/2 + 3/2) / (x2 - x1) = (0) / (x2 - x1) which is always going to be 0.

x=-3/2. This value is also constant except the x-value does not vary at all so x2 and x1 are always going to be equal which will result in a 0 as the denominator thus making the slope undefined

y=-3/2x. it's just -3/2 given the slope-intercept form y=mx+b where m is the slope

Answer:21 I used math. way. it is a great app

you do 5-12= -7x-3=21 . in the calculator you don't need the (-s)
