Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = x3 − 11x2 + 38x − 40?
Delvig [45]
The answer is <span>5, 4, 2
</span>
Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
                          x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5)  * x² =      x³ - 5x²                   Subtract
____________________________
                              -6x² + 38x - 40
   (x - 5) * (-6x) =    -6x² + 30x          Subtract
____________________________
                                           8x - 40
                    (x - 5) * 8 =     8x - 40   Sutract
____________________________
                                              0

Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)

Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.

x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
                  = x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) = 
                  = x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
                  = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0            or             x - 4 = 0              or      x - 2 = 0
x = 5                 or              x = 4                   or      x = 2

Kind of confused on this question, please help
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

4th option

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{3}{5} x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{3}{5}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{3}{5} } = - \frac{5}{3}

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - \frac{5}{3} and (a, b ) = (- 2, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = - \frac{5}{3} (x - (- 2) ) , that is

y - 5 = - \frac{5}{3} (x + 2)
