The inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week is
The remaining hours of TV Julia can watch this week can be expressed is 3.5 hours
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week
So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours
To find: number of hours Julia can still watch this week
<em>Let "x" be the number of hours Julia can still watch television this week</em>
"no more than 5" means less than or equal to 5 ( ≤ 5 )
Juila has already watched 1.5 hours. So we can add 1.5 hours and number of hours Julia can still watch television this week which is less than or equal to 5 hours
number of hours Julia can still watch television this week + already watched ≤ Total hours Juila can watch
Thus the above inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week.
Solving the inequality,
Thus Julia still can watch Television for 3.5 hours
Answer:
-3, 1, 4 are the x-intercepts
Step-by-step explanation:
The remainder theorem tells you that dividing a polynomial f(x) by (x-a) will result in a remainder that is the value of f(a). That remainder will be zero when (x-a) is a factor of f(x).
In terms of finding x-intercepts, this means we can reduce the degree of the polynomial by factoring out the factor (x-a) we found when we find a value of "a" that makes f(a) = 0.

For the given polynomial, we notice that the sum of the coefficients is zero:
1 -2 -11 +12 = 0
This means that x=1 is a zero of the polynomial, and we have found the first x-intercept point we can plot on the given number line.
Using synthetic division to find the quotient (and remainder) from division by (x-1), we see that ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x² -x -12)
We know a couple of factors of 12 that differ by 1 are 3 and 4, so we suspect the quadratic factor above can be factored to give ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x -4)(x +3)
Synthetic division confirms that the remainder from division by (x -4) is zero, so x=4 is another x-intercept. The result of the synthetic division confirms that x=-3 is the remaining x-intercept.
The x-intercepts of f(x) are -3, 1, 4. These are the points you want to plot on your number line.
