Answer:

<h2>x = 0, x = 5 + √13 and x = 5 - √13.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^3 + 12x – 10x^2 can and should be rewritten in descending powers of x:  

f(x) = 2x^3 – 10x^2 + 12x

This, in turn, can be factored into f(x) = x·(x² - 10x + 12).

Setting this last result = to 0 results in f(x) = x·(x² - 10x + 12).

Thus, x = 0 is one root.  Two more roots come from x² - 10x + 12 = 0.

Let's "complete the square" to solve this equation.

Rewrite x² - 10x + 12 = 0  as  x² - 10x +              12 = 0.

a) Identify the coefficient of the x term.  It is -10.

b) take half of this result:  -5

c) square this last result:  (-5)² = 25.

d) Add this 25 to both sides of x² - 10x +              12 = 0:

     x² - 10x +  25      +      12 = 0 + 25

e) rewrite x² - 10x +  25 as the square of a binomial:

       (x - 5)² = 13

f)  taking the sqrt of both sides:  x - 5 = ±√13

g) write out the zeros:  x = 5 + √13 and x = 5 - √13.

The three roots are x = 0, x = 5 + √13 and x = 5 - √13.

You are playing a game where you draw a card from a standard deck, and you will win $13 if you draw a face card,
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

win

There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.

There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 =  12

There is 1 ace / suit

There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4

The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156

The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 =               12

Total gain = 168

Losses

Any other card costs you $5

How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36

Each one costs 5 dollars

Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180

So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.

Damm [24]

Think of the entire population of 6th graders here. 3/7 are boys and 4/7 are girls. 5/8 of these boys are in Ms. Jones' class; that fraction would be (5/8)(3/7), or 15/56. This 15/56 represents the fraction of the entire sixth grade class who are in Ms. Jones' class.
