Answer: (b) x = -7, x = 2, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remainder Theorem is used to determine if a given value is a root.

It is stated that (x + 7) is a root ⇒ x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = -7

We can confirm this by plugging in x = -7 and getting a value of 0.

f(x) = 5x³ + 5x² - 170x + 280

f(-7) = 5(-7)³ + 5(-7)² - 170(-7) + 280

= -1715 + 245 + 1190 + 280

= 0

CONFIRMED that x = -7 is a zero!

Next, let's try x = 2

f(2) = 5(2)³ + 5(2)² - 170(2) + 280

= 40 + 20 - 340 + 280

= 0

CONFIRMED that x = 2 is a zero!

Lastly, let's try x = 4

f(4) = 5(4)³ + 5(4)² - 170(4) + 280

= 320 + 80 - 680 + 280

= 0

CONFIRMED that x = 4 is a zero!

Which of the following rational functions is graphed below?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph represents a rational function having,

1). Vertical asymptote → x = 2

2). Horizontal asymptote → y = 0

Parent function representing the rational function will be in the form of,

F(x) = $\frac{1}{x^{2} }$

Since, vertical asymptote of the function is x = 2, denominator of the function will be in the form of (x - 2)².

Since, horizontal asymptote of the function is y = 0, highest exponent term in the numerator will be 0.

Therefore, numerator of the fraction will be x⁰.

The rational function given in the graph will be,

F(x) = $\frac{x^{0}}{(x-2)^2}$

F(x) = $\frac{1}{(x-2)^2}$

Option (D) will be the answer.

Write an equation in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form.

Sever21 [200]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (1, -5) and (-3, -7). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{7-(-5)}{-3-1}=\dfrac{12}{-4}=-3\\\\y-(-7)=-3(x-(-3))\\\\\boxed{y+7=-3(x+3)}$

Rewrite to the slope-intercept form:

$y+7=-3(x+3)$ use distributive property

$y+7=-3x-9$ subtract 7 from both sides

$\boxed{y=-3x-16}$
