Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First confirm that x = 1 is one of the zeros.

f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 14(1)^2 + 38(1) - 26

f(1) = 2 - 14 + 38 - 26

f(1) = -12 + 38 = + 26

f(1) = 26 - 26

f(1) = 0

=========================

next perform a long division

x -1  || 2x^3 - 14x^2 + 38x - 26 || 2x^2 - 12x + 26

          2x^3 - 2x^2

          ===========

                    -12x^2 + 28x

                     -12x^2 +12x

                     ==========

                                  26x -26

                                  26x - 26

                                 ========

                                      0

Now you can factor 2x^2 - 12x + 26

                                 2(x^2 - 6x + 13)

The discriminate of the quadratic is negative. (36 - 4*1*13) = - 16

So you are going to get a complex result.

x = -(-6) +/- sqrt(-16)

     =============

                 2

x  = 3 +/- 2i

f(x) = 2*(x - 1)*(x - 3 + 2i)*(x - 3 - 2i)

The zeros are

1

3 +/- 2i

What is represented by p v q?
Stella [2.4K]
\lor is the logical or/disjunction symbol. p\lor q means "p or q". Disjunction is commutative, which means p\lor q is equivalent to q\lor p.

So if p represents x and q represents x>3, then p\lor q\equiv q\lor p means x>3 or x.

Mrs. Wright bought some notebook paper for her class. She decided to keep 3/4 of the paper for her own use. How much paper did s
larisa [96]
So the total amount of paper is 4/4 right?
And she kept 3/4.
So we have to minus 3/4 from 4/4.
Because it has the same denominator we need not change it to similar one.So 4-3 is one.
So answer is 1/4
