Find all real zeros of 4x^3-20x+16

Answer:

  {1, (-1±√17)/2}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.

___

Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.

It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.

__

Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.

The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:

  a=1, b=1, c=-4

  x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2

  x = (-1 ±√17)2

The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.

_____

The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.

__

The given expression factors as ...

  4(x -1)(x² +x -4)

What type of transformation takes the graph of f(x)=|x| to the graph of g(x)=−3+|x|?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

vertical translation of 3 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f\left(x\right)=\left|x\right| ----> the parent function

The vertex of f(x) is the point (0,0)

g\left(x\right)=-3+\left|x\right| ----> the transformed function

The vertex  of g(x) is the point (0,-3)

so

The rule of the translation is

f(x) -----> g(x)

(0,0) ----> (0,-3)

(x,y) ----> (x,y-3)

That means ---> The translation is 3 units down

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Round each number to the nearest 10 212+87 then add
Softa [21]
~212 rounded to the nearest 10 would be 210.

~87 rounded to the nearest 10 would be 90.

210 + 90 = 300

Your answer would be 300.
