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.

Consider the following series.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The series is convergent.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 + 1/8 + 1+12 + 1/16 + 1/20

In each term, the numerator stays 1, while the denominator is multiplied by 4. Thus, the series is given by:

\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4n}

Convergence test:

We compare the sequence of this test, f_n = \frac{1}{4n}, with a sequence g_n = \frac{1}{n}.

If \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{f_n}{g_n} \neq 0, the series is convergent. So

\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{f_n}{g_n} = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\frac{1}{4n}}{\frac{1}{n}} =  \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{n}{4n} = \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \neq 0

As the limit is different of zero, the series is convergent.
