Hello Razerthebrainieace!

The answer would be True because prime numbers have more than one factors.

Cheers!

When using the rational root theorem, which of the following is a possible root of the polynomial function below f(x)=x^3-5x^2-1

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf \ \ 7 \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

The polynomial function is

$x^3-5x^2-12x+14$

The rational root theorem states that each rational solution

$x=\dfrac{p}{q}$

, written in irreducible fraction, satisfies the two following:

p is a factor of the constant term

q is a factor of the leading coefficient

In this example, the constant term is 14 and the leading coefficient is 1. It means that p is a factor of 14 and q a factor of 1.

Let's proceed with the prime factorisation of 14:

14 = 2 * 7

Finally, the possible rational roots of this expression are :

and we need to test for negative ones too

-1

-2

-7

-14

From your list, the correct answer is 7.

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

A recipe calls for 1/2 cup of celery,2 1/3 of water and 3/4 cups of carrots. What the combined amont of these three ingredients?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

43/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find a common denominator for all 3 fractions, 1/2 cup, 2 1/3 cup, and 3/4 cup all share 12 as a common denominator.

However, let's convert 2 1/3 cup into an improper fraction: there are 2 (3/3 cups) here multiply (3/3) and (2/1) you get 6/3. Finally, add the remaining 1/3 to 6/3 and you get 7/3.

Now, to get all these fractions to have the same common denominator.

(1/2) ×(6/6)=(6/12)

(7/3)×(4/4)=(28/12)

(3/4)×(3/3)=(9/12)

Add them all together and your answer is: (43/12)

How do I solve this? help please! xx

Anna35 [415]

This graph is composed of four straight line segments. You'll need to determine the slope, y-intercept and domain for each of them. Look at the first segment, the one on the extreme left. Verify yourself that the slope of this line segment is 1 and that the y-intercept would be 0 if you were to extend this segment all the way to the y-axis. Thus, the rule (formula, equation) for this line segment would be f(x)=1x+0, or just f(x)=x, for (-3,-1). Use a similar approach to write rules for the remaining three line segments.

Present your answer like this:
x, (-3,-1)
f(x) = -1, (-1,0)

A coffee mixture has beans that sell for 0.20 a pound and beans that sell for 0.68. If 120 pounds of beans create a mixture wort

Andrew [12]

X=pounds of coffee bean ($0.20 per pound)
y=pounds of coffee bean ($0.68 per pound )

We can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=120
(0.20x+0.68 y) / (x+y)=0.54 ⇒ (0.2x+0.68y)=0.54(x+y)

We can solve this system by substitution method.
x+y=120 ⇒ y=120-x

0.2x+0.68(120-x)=0.54[x+(120-x)]
0.2x+81.6-0.68x=0.54(120)
-0.48x+81.6=64.8
-0.48x=64.8-81.6
-0.48x=-16.8
x=-16.8/-0.48
x=35

y=120-x=120-35=85

Answer: the coffee mixture has 35 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.2 a pound, and 85 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.68 a pound, the solutions is reasonable because the price of a coffee mixture ($0.54 a pound) is greater than $0.2 and smaller than $0.68.
