How do i find the roots of this equation: f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0

Fantom [35]

The equation is <span>f(x) = 2x5 - 9x4 + 12x3 - 12x2 + 10x - 3 = 0
remark:
the sum of coefficients is = 2-9+12-12+10-3=-7+7=0, so a=1 is a zero of f
f can be written as </span>f(x) = (x-1)Q(x), and f(x) / (x-1)= Q(x)
after euclid's division
Q(x) = 2x4 - 7x3 + 5x2 - 7x +3
so for finding the other roots, making Q(x) for product of factors is a must

HELP PLEASE GEOMETRY find x and y

dimulka [17.4K]

$3x + 30 + 2x - 20 = 360 \\ 5x + 10 = 360 \\ 5x = 350 \\ x = 70$
$y = \frac{3x + 30 - 2x + 20}{2} = \frac{x + 50}{2} = \frac{120}{2} = 60$

a fisherman travels 9mi downstream with the current in the same time he travels 3 mi upstream against the current. if the speed

netineya [11]

Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10

A group of 100 students took a quiz. Their average score was 76 points. If the average score for the boys was 80 points and the

sveta [45]

Answer:

The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of students took quiz = 100

Average score of 100 students = 76 points

The Average score of boys = 80 points

The Average score of girls = 70 points

Let The number of boys participated in quiz = b

Let The number of girls participate in quiz = g

Now, According to question'

Total number of students took quiz = number of boys participated in quiz + number of girls participated in quiz

Or, b + g = 100 ........A

<u>Again</u>

∵ Average score of 100 students = 76 points

∴ Total score of 100 students = 76 × 100 = 7600

So, Average score of boys × number of boys participated + Average score of girls × number of girls participated = Total score of 100 students

Or, b × 80 + g × 70 = 7600

Or, 80 b + 70 g = 7600 .........B

Now, Solving equation A and B

(80 b + 70 g ) - 70 ×( b + g ) = 7600 - 70 × 100

I.e (80 b - 70 b) + (70 g - 70 g) = 7600 - 7000

Or, 10 b + 0 = 600

∴ b = $\dfrac{600}{10}$

i.e b = 60

So, The number of boys participated in quiz = b = 60

Put the value of b into eq A

∵ b + g = 100

So, g = 100 - b

Or, g = 100 - 60

i.e g = 40

So, The number of girls participated in quiz = g = 40

Hence, The number of girls participated in quiz is 40 . Answer
