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.

140 fluid ounces increased by 45%
Leokris [45]
First divided 140 by 100 to find out how much 1 percent is
140 ÷ 100 = 1.4

multiply 1.4 by 45 to find 45 %; 1.4 x 45 = 63

then add 63, which is 45%, to 140, which is 100%, and you get 203, which is 140 + 45%, or 145%

please mark brainliest if this helped you. I hope it did!

The diagram below shows 5 identical bowls stacked one inside the other. The height of 1 bowl is 2 inches. The height of 5 bowls
padilas [110]

(Bowls, Height) (1, 2)  (5,5)

Slope is (5-2)/(5-1) = 3/4 inch
y = (3/4)x + b
(2) = (3/4)(1) + b
(2)-(3/4) = b

B=1.25.  Y= 0.75*x + 1.25. 

Part B
X is the number of bowls in the stack and Y is the corresponding height of the stack.
