Answer:

±2

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity let's take a look at a general third order polynomial:

ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d.  In this particular case,

rational roots have the form ±d/±a.  Note that these are fractions/ratios.  Beyond that, we factor d and choose numerators ±(all possible whole number factors of d, dividing these results by all possible factors of a.

Looking at 4x^3 + 9x^2 - x + 10 = 0, we see that d = 10 and that factors of d include ±1, ±2, ±5 and ±10.  a = 4 and factors of a include ±1, ±2, ±4.

So, any rational roots of the given polynomial will stem from the possible rational roots

±1    ±2    ±5    ±10    ±1    ±2    ±5    ±10

--- , ----- , -----, ------- , ---- , ----- , --- , ------ , and so on,

±1    ±1     ±1      ±1      ±2    ±2   ±2     ±2

until you have used up all of the possible factors of 10 and all of the possible factors of 4.  

Of the four possible rational roots you have shared, only ±2 (which would actually be ±2 / ±1) is acceptable.

50 squared equals 2 + 25 squared equals 2 * 5 equals 10 what is wrong
Klio2033 [76]

Convert to an equation:

50^2=2+25^2=2*5=10

Simplify:

2500=625=10=10

What is wrong is that 2500 does not equal 625 which does not equal 10.

Explain how to write 50,000 using exponents. Answer can only be one number but the answer can have as much exponents as wanted
Oksana_A [137]
The examples of 50,000 written as an exponent are as follows (but not limited to):

500 * 10^2
50 * 10^3
5 * 10^4
0,5 * 10^5

Doublecheck (optional):

500 * 10^2 = 500 * 100 = 50,000
50 * 10^3 = 50 * 1000 = 50,000
5 * 10^4 = 5 * 10000 = 50,000
0,5 * 10^5 = 0,5 * 100000 = 50,000

Answer:

Slope = ⅓ Y-intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

by transforming the equation to y= ⅓x -2

then it becomes Y= ⅓x +(-2)

then you should get m= ⅓ and b = -2
