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.

Stan's cookie recipe makes 24 cookies and calls for exactly 384 sprinkles. He is wondering how many sprinkles (p)eft parenthesis
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

960 sprinkles

Step-by-step explanation:

x = sprinkles

For this problem we will create a ratio

\frac{24}{384} :\frac{60}{x}

24x=384*60

24x=23,040

x=23,040/24

x=960

Stan would need 960 sprinkles!

Hope this helps!

(pls mark as brainiest)

Thanks!
