X^3-3x^2-10x+24 rational zero theorem

The rational zero theorem looks at the number of sign changes in the equation's terms when x is evaluated with a positive or negative number. In your problem, if we insert a positive value for x:
1st term stays +, 2nd term stays  -, 3rd term stays -, last term stays +.
Read from left to right and determine the number of sign changes:
+ - - + [there is a change from + to -, no change from - to -, and a change from - to +] Therefore 2 sign changes. There can be two positive rational zeros, or zero rational zeros [It's always the number of sign changes, and then every other number less than the number of sign changes, and zero]

Let's now do it for a negative x:
1st term becomes -, 2nd term stays -, 3rd term becomes +, last term stays +
- - + + [there is no sign change from - to -, one change from - to +, no change from + to +] Therefore one sign change. There can be one negative rational zero, or zero rational zeros.
This is a difficult concept to type out in a screen box. Please post me a comment if you need additional clarification!

Answer:

The length of river frontage for each lot are 96.55 ft. 98.85 ft, 101.15 ft and 103.45 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The river frontage of 400 ft will be divided into 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 for each lot as AP, BQ, CR, DS and ET all are parallel.

Therefore, PQ : QR : RS : ST = 84 : 86 : 88 : 90 = 42 : 43 : 44 : 45

Let, PQ = 42x, QR = 43x, RS = 44x and ST = 45x

So, (42x + 43x + 44x + 45x) = 400

⇒ 175x = 400

⇒ x = 2.2988.

So, PQ = 42x = 96.55 ft.

QR = 43x = 98.85 ft.

RS = 44x = 101.15 ft and  

ST = 45x = 103.45 ft

Ok, first you need to read a - g and mark down the information you know. Also, this continuous function can look pretty much like anything long as it has the a - g constraints/rule. 

A) We know the domain(x values) is between -10 to infinity
(-10,-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3-,2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, to ---------> infinity)
B) We know the range(y values) is between -6 to infinity
(-6,-5,-4,-3-,2,-1,01,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, to ---------> infinity) 

C) Next we know f(0) = f(4) = 0
So we know when x = 0  that f(0) = 0 or we can say  y = 0. We also know when f(4) = 0 so when x = 4 y = 0. So we have two points (0,0) and (4,0) that our function will be on so plot the two points (0,0) (4,0)

D) It tells us that f(x) (y) is increasing between the x values (-10,-6)  or (-2,2) or (4, to infinity)

E) It tells us that f(x) (y) is decreasing between the x values (-6,-2) or between (2,4)

F) Tells us that f(x) (y) is greater than or equal to between the x values of [-8,-4] or between the x values [0, to infinity) so this lets us know our drawing is going to be above or equal to 0 when we are in the values [-8,-4] or [0, to infinity)

G) Tells us that f(x) (y) is less than 0 when the function / drawing is between the x values of (-10, -8) or (-4,0)  

The picture is what the function could look like. It can be different but needs to following the rules that are given

Possible my last brainliest if its right question idk may be more but this one is harsh for me

Correct Solution: He read 1.5 pages per minute.


Error Analysis: You should’ve divided 3 by 2 not 300. There are 300 pages in the book total. This information is irrelevant to the question. Cole reads 3 pages in two minutes. So you divide 3 by to to find out how many pages he reads per minute. 3/2=1.5
