a. There are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation and

b. There are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

<h3>What is the Descartes'rule of sign?</h3>

Descartes' rule of sign states that

The number of real positive zero of a polynomial f(x) is the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x) or an even number less than the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x)
The number of real negative zero of a polynomial f(x) is the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x) or an even number less than the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x)

<h3>How to find the number of possible positive and negative roots are there for the equation?</h3>

Given the equation 0 = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1, writing it as a polynomial function, we have f(x) = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

<h3>a. The number of positive roots</h3>

So, to find the number of positive roots, we find the number of sign changes of the polynomial f(x).

So, f(x) = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

Since f(x) has coefficients -8, -2, + 8, -4, -1, there are two sign changes from -2 to + 8 and from + 8 to -4.

So, there are 2 or 2 - 2 = 0 real positive roots.

So, there are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation.

<h3>b. The number of negative roots</h3>

So, to find the number of negative roots, we find the number of sign changes of the polynomial f(-x).

So, f(-x) = −8(-x)¹⁰ − 2(-x)⁷ + 8(-x)⁴ − 4(-x)² − 1

= −8x¹⁰ + 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

Since f(x) has coefficients -8, +2, + 8, -4, -1, there are two sign changes from -8 to + 2 and from + 8 to -4.

So, there are 2 or 2 - 2 = 0 real negative roots.

So, there are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

So,

There are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation and
There are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

Help pls ill love you forever

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$y-4=\frac{1}{5}(x-7)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is given by:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where

(x_1,y_1) is the coordinate pair (any of the points given)

m is the slope. The ratio of change in y coordinates by x coordinates

Let's calculate the slope:

$m=\frac{4-3}{7-2}\\m=\frac{1}{5}$

Now, it is given "y - 4", so y_1 is 4, so they are using the coordinate pair (7,4). So we can say x_1 = 7

Now we have all the values, lets write the equation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-4=\frac{1}{5}(x-7)$

This is the point-slope form.

(50 Points Please help)

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

A. Length of a Tour Bus ↔ #2. 1.1 × 10¹ meters

B. Width of an apple ↔ #3. 4 × 10⁰ centimeters

C. Distance from Earth to a Satellite ↔ #6. 8 × 10² kilometers

D. Thickness of a human hair ↔ #5. 9 × 10¹ micrometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a tour bus should be measured in meters. It sure is way less than 1 kilometer and way more than a few centimeters. It could be about some meters, more than 5 meters, may be between 10 meters and 15 meters.

The measurement in the box # 2. is 1.1 × 10¹ meters, which is equivalent to 1.1 × 10 meters = 11 meters. Thus, this is a reasonable length.

B. Width of an apple.

The most appropriate unit to measure the width of an apple should be centimeter. It certainly is shorter than 1 meter and bigger than 1 mm.

The width of an apple could be, more or less, around 8 centimeters. The only measurement in the boxes that is in that order is that in the box #3., 4 × 10⁰ centimeters, because 10⁰ = 1, so 4 × 10⁰ = 4 × 1 = 4 centimeters.

C. Distance from Earth to a Satellite

The distance from Earth to a satellite should be measured in kilometers.

You can find in the internet that the distances of the satellites are between 700 kilometers and 36,000 kilometers.

The number in the box #1 is too big, in the order of ten trillions of kilometers, because one trillion is 10¹²; thus that is nonseasonal (too big).

The number in the box #6 is 8 × 10² kilometers, which is equal to 8 × 100 = 800 kilometers.

Thus, 8 × 10² kilometers (box #6) is the most reasonable measurement for the distance from Earth to a Satellite

D. Thickness of a human hair

Of course, kilometers, meters, centimeters and even millimeters are units too big to measure the thickness of a human hair.

One micrometer is 10⁻⁶ meters or 10⁻³ millimeters.

In the internet you can find that diameter of the human hair is in the range from 17 micrometers to 181 micrometers.

The measurement in the box #5. is 9 × 10¹ micrometers, which is equivalent to 9 × 10 = 90 micrometers.

Thus, 9 × 10¹ micrometers is the most reasonable measurement for the thickness of a human hair.

Gnoma [55]

A jar of jelly beans contains 50 red gumballs , 45 yellow gumballs, and 30 green gumballs. You reach into the jar and randomly select a jelly bean, then select another without putting the first jelly bean back. What is the probability that you draw two red jelly beans? This is Dependent because you didnt put the other jelly bean in thus changing the total nmber of jelly beans.
