The <u>integer roots</u> of the <u>polynomial function</u> f(x)=x^3-5x^2-2x+24 can be only among the<u> divisors</u> of <u>free term</u>.

The divisors of free term are:

\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3,  \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm 8, \pm 12, \pm 24.

Check them:

1. f(1)=1^3-5\cdot 1^2-2\cdot 1+24=18\neq 0, 1 is not a root.

2. f(-1)=(-1)^3-5\cdot (-1)^2-2\cdot (-1)+24=20\neq 0, -1 is not a root.

3. f(2)=2^3-5\cdot 2^2-2\cdot 2+24=8\neq 0, 2 is not a root.

4. f(-2)=(-2)^3-5\cdot (-2)^2-2\cdot (-2)+24=0, -2 is a root.

5. f(3)=3^3-5\cdot 3^2-2\cdot 3+24=0, 3 is  a root.

6.  f(-3)=(-3)^3-5\cdot (-3)^2-2\cdot (-3)+24=-42\neq 0, -3 is not a root.

7. f(4)=4^3-5\cdot 4^2-2\cdot 4+24=0, 4 is  a root.

The cubic function has at most 3 roots, then

Answer: roots of the function are -2, 3 and 4.

the number of grams a woman should eat in a day to maintain her weight is proportional to her weight. a woman weighing 102 pound
vitfil [10]
Given:
grams of fat : 34 grams TO weight of woman : 102 pounds
grams of fat : ? TO weight of woman : 180 pounds

This is a proportion problem: 34 grams to 102 pounds.

We first have to convert a unit of measure to another to maintain uniformity of measure. let us convert pounds to grams:

102 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 46,266.384 grams
180 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 81,646.560 grams

34 grams to 46,266.384 grams = x grams to 81,646.560 grams

proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc

34 grams * 81,646.560 grams = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² ÷ 46,266.384 grams = x
60 grams = x 

A woman weighing 180 pounds should eat 60 grams of fat to maintain her weight.
