\bf \begin{array}{cccccccccccllll}
P(x)= x^5&-&4x^4&+&3x^3&+&2x&-&6\\
&yes&&yes&&\textit{no}&&yes
\\\\\\
P(-x)= -x^5&-&4x^4&-&3x^3&-&2x&-&6\\
&\textit{no}&&\textit{no}&&\textit{no}&&\textit{no}
\end{array}

notice where how many "yes" sign change happen in the positive "x"
and the on the negative "-x"

for the P(x) is 3 changes, thus
so is either 3 real positive ones, or 3-2 = 1 real positive one

P(-x) gives no sign changes, so there are 0 negative ones

the polynomial has a degree of 5, thus 5 roots
if it has 3 real positive ones, then it has 2 complex ones
the complex ones pick up the slack per se

if it has 1 real positive one, then it has 4 complex ones

bear in mind complex ones always come in pairs

The ratio of blue cars to red cars in a garage is 9:7. If there are 49 red cars in the garage then how many blue cars must be in
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Blue cars, B = 63 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the blue cars be B.

Let the red cars be R.

Given the following data;

Ratio of B:R = 9:7 = 9 + 7 = 16

Red cars, R = 49

To find the number of blue cars;

First of all, we would determine the total number of cars using the expression;

R = 7/16 * x = 49

7x = 49 * 16

7x = 784

x = 112 cars

Now, we can find the number of blue cars;

B = 9/16 * 112

B = 1008/16

Blue cars, B = 63 cars

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

15.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b ^2= c^2

5^2 + b ^2=16^2

b ^2=256 - 25

√b ^2=√231

b= 15.2 inches

Punctele O, A, B, C sunt coliniare în această ordine, iar segmentele OA, AB și BC au lungimile exprimate în cm, prin numere natu
julia-pushkina [17]

Răspuns:

a) OC = 18cm

b) MN = 6cm

Explicație pas cu pas:

Găsiți diagrama la întrebarea atașată.

a) Din diagramă se poate observa că OC = OA + AB + AC

OC = 2n + 2n + 2 + 2n + 4

OC = 6n + 6

Următorul este să obțineți valoarea lui n:

OM = OA + AM

Să obținem segmentul AM;

Deoarece M este segmentul mijlociu al AC, atunci;

AM = AC / 2

AM = AB + BC / 2

AM = 2n + 2 + 2n + 4/2

AM = 4n + 6/2

AM = 2n + 3

Din moment ce OM = OA + AM

OM = 2n + 2n + 3

OM = 4n + 3

Dat fiind OM = 11

11 = 4n + 3

4n = 11-3

4n = 8

n = 2

Următorul pas este să calculați OC;

OC = 6n + 6

OC = 6 (2) + 6

OC = 18

Prin urmare, lungimea segmentului OC este de 18 cm

b) Această întrebare ne cere să găsim segmentul de linie MN.

Din diagramă, MN = AM - AN

Deoarece AM = 2n + 3 din întrebarea 1;

AM = 2 (2) +3

AM = 4 + 3

AM = 7

Acum, să obținem AN:

Din diagramă, AN = ON-OA și ON = OB / 2

AN = OB / 2 - OA

AN = (2n + 2n + 2) / 2 - 2n

AN = 4n + 2/2 - 2n

AN = 2n + 1 - 2n

AN = 2n-2n + 1

AN = 1

De la MN = AM - AN

MN = 7 - 1

MN = 6cm

Prin urmare, distanța dintre N, mijlocul segmentului OB și punctul M este de 6cm
