Answer: C) Sometimes positive; sometimes negative
============================================================
Explanation:
Pick a value between x = -1 and x = 0. Let's say we go for x = -0.5
Plug this into f(x)
f(x) = x(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)
f(-0.5) = -0.5(-0.5+3)(-0.5+1)(-0.5-4)
f(-0.5) = -0.5(2.5)(0.5)(-4.5)
f(-0.5) = 2.8125
We get a positive value.
This shows that f(x) is positive on the region of -1 < x < 0
----------------
Now pick a value between x = 0 and x = 4. I'll use x = 1
f(x) = x(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)
f(1) = 1(1+3)(1+1)(1-4)
f(1) = 1(4)(2)(-3)
f(1) = -24
Therefore, f(x) is negative on the interval 0 < x < 4
----------------
In short, f(x) is both positive and negative on the interval -1 < x < 4
It's positive when -1 < x < 0
And it's negative when 0 < x < 4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For this equation: a=3, b=4, c=2
3x2+4x+2=0
Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=3, b=4, c=2.
x= −b±√b2−4ac / 2a
x= −(4)±√(4)2−4(3)(2) / 2(3)
x= −4±√−8 / 6
Answer:
No real solutions.
Answer: -6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number between them,find their average or mean .
-6 + -7 = -13
-13/2 = -6.5
The number between them is -6.5
