We are given Polynomial p(x) = x^4 + 22x^2 – 16x – 12.

We need to find the potential roots of the function.

We know, potential roots are all the rational numbers in terms of p/q.

Where p are the factors of constant term and q are the factors of leading coefficient.

For the given polynomial x^4 + 22x^2 – 16x – 12, we have constant term -12 and leading coefficent is the coefficent of x^4, that is 1.

So, the factors of -12 would be ±1,±2,±3,±4,±6 and ±12.

And factors of 1 is just ±1.

Therefore, ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12 would be it's potential roots.

<u>In the given options, we can see ±6 ±1 ±3 are potential roots of the function.</u>

Answer:

The potential roots of the function are ±6, ±1, ±3. The options 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

p(x)=x^2+22x^2-16x-12

According to the rational root theorem, all the possible roots of the function are in the form of

x=\pm \frac{\text{Factors of constant term}}{\text{Factors of leading coefficient}}

In the given function constant term is -12 and the leading coefficient is 1.

Factors of -12 are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12.

The factors of 1 are ±1.

By using rational root theorem, the potential roots of the function are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12.

Therefore the options 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

Find f(-5) f(x) -4x + 3
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

if f(x)= -4x+3

f(-5)= 23

Step-by-step explanation:

first you substitute x for -5

f(-5)= -4(-5)+3

then you multiply

-4(-5)

f(-5)=20+3

you get the positive 20 because negative times negative equals positive

then you just add the rest (20+3) which will give you your answer

f(-5)= 23

Using a calculator, the line of best fit for the function is given by:

y = 51.7x - 5.7.

<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?</h3>

To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator. For this problem, a linear regression is used because the data only increases.

From the given table, the points are:

(1, 68), (2,97), (3, 134), (4, 176), (5, 241), (6,335).

Inserting these points on the calculator, the line of best fit for the function is given by:

y = 51.7x - 5.7.
