Answer:D.) 3, √2, −√2


Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial: f(x)=x^3-3x^2-2x+6

Let's check all the given options, by substituting given value on x.

A.) −3, −√2, −√2

f(-3)=(-3)^3-3(-3)^2-2(-3)+6=-27-27+6+6=-42\neq 0

⇒ -3 is not a zero of given polynomial.

Thus, this not the required answer.

B.) 3, −√2, −√2

f(3)=(3)^3-3(3)^2-2(3)+6=27-27-6+6=0

f(-\sqrt{2})=(-\sqrt{2})^3-3(-\sqrt{2})^2-2(-\sqrt{2})+6\\\\=-2\sqrt{2}-6+2\sqrt{2}+6=0

But by Descartes rule of sigs , f(x) have 2 positive and 1 negative root.

Thus, this is not the right answer.

C.) −3, √2, √2

-3 is not a zero of given polynomial.

Thus, this not the required answer.

D.) 3, √2, −√2

f(-3)=(-3)^3-3(-3)^2-2(-3)+6=-27-27+6+6=-42\neq 0

f(\sqrt{2})=(\sqrt{2})^3-3(\sqrt{2})^2-2(\sqrt{2})+6\\\\=2\sqrt{2}-6-2\sqrt{2}+6=0

f(-\sqrt{2})=(-\sqrt{2})^3-3(-\sqrt{2})^2-2(-\sqrt{2})+6\\\\=-2\sqrt{2}-6+2\sqrt{2}+6=0

Thus, this is the right option to have zeroes of f(x).

Neat
of turf, 83.33333% of the 1050 were minor
so about 875 minor injuries in turf
and 10.857% of 1050 were substantial meaning about 114 substantial
leaving 63 severe field turf
 
meaning 938 minor in gras (totalminior-minorturf=grassminor)
so now we know that grassmionr=938 that that is 1
and hen that is 77.972 gras is mionr so 938=77.972%
1203 total gras
then 4.26 of gras is severe or about 51
and leaving about 217 substantial gras injuries
total them yourself

If 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), w
Yuliya22 [10]

The value of a is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of a point (x_0,y_0) from the y-axis can be written as

d_y = |x_0|

because the x-coordinate of the y-axis is zero.

Similarly, the distance of a point (x_0,y_0) from the x-axis can be written as

d_x=|y_0|

Since the y-coordinate of the x-axis is zero.

In this problem:

- The distance of the point A (−30, −45) from the y-axis can be written as

d_A = |-30|=30

- The distance of point B (a,a) from the x-axis can be written as

d_B = |a| = a

Since a>0.

We are told that 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), which means

\frac{2}{3}d_A = \frac{1}{4}d_B

Therefore,

\frac{2}{3}(30)=\frac{1}{4}a

And solving for a,

20=\frac{1}{4}a\\a=80
