QUESTION 16

The given function is,

y = 3x {(x + 2)}^{3}

To find the zeroes of this function, we equate the function to zero to get,

3x {(x + 2)}^{3} = 0

We now apply the zero product principle to get,

3x = 0 \: or \: {(x + 2)}^{3} = 0

The second factor is repeating 3 times, therefore the root has a multiplicity of 3.

This implies that,

x = 0 \: or \: x = - 2
-2 has a multiplicity of 3.

QUESTION 17.

The given expression is

{x}^{4} - 8 {x}^{2} + 16 = 0

({x}^{2}) ^{2} - 8 {x}^{2} + 16 = 0

This is now a quadratic equation in x².

We split the middle term to get,

({x}^{2}) ^{2} - 4 {x}^{2} - 4 {x}^{2} + 16 = 0

We now factor to obtain,

{x}^{2} ( {x}^{2} - 4) - 4( {x}^{2} - 4) = 0

This implies that,

( {x}^{2} - 4)( {x}^{2} - 4) = 0

( {x}^{2} - 2^2)( {x}^{2} - 2^2) = 0

We apply difference of two squares here to get,

(x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0

This is the same as,

(x - 2) ^{2} (x + 2) ^{2} = 0

This time both roots have a multiplicity of 2.

Applying the zero product property, we obtain,

(x - 2) ^{2} = 0 \: or \: (x + 2) ^{2} = 0

This implies that,

x = 2 \: or \: - 2

with a multiplicity of 2 each.

Write an expression for the sequence of operations described below.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

We conclude that:

''add 3 and the sum of 9 and v'' is algebraically represented by the expression as:

  • 3 + 9 + v

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement

''add 3 and the sum of 9 and v''

Let us break down the statement

  • Let the number be:  v
  • The sum of 9 and v: 9+v

so

Adding 3 and the sum of 9 and v will be: 3 + 9 + v

Therefore, we conclude that:

''add 3 and the sum of 9 and v'' is algebraically represented by the expression as:

  • 3 + 9 + v

Write and equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) for the graph below
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

y=1/3x+0 or y=1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope by taking two points and putting them in

y2 - y1/x2 - x1

so, (3,1) and (6,2) becomes 2-1/6-3 or 1/3 so, slope is 1/3

then to find y intercept you can put a point (6,2) and slope (1/3) into slope intercept form y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 1/3(x-6)

when you solve this you get y = 1/3x + 0, so y intercept is 0. you can also see. this on the graph given
