Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12?

A).f(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 – 9x3 + x2 – 12

B).f(x) = 3x6 – 2x5 + 9x4 – x3 + 12x

C).f(x) = 12x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 3

D).f(x) = 12x5 – 8x4 + 36x3 – 4x2 + 48

Solution:

The function given to us is:

3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12

Find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors of 12 are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q'

The factors of 3 are:

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

We know that we write rational terms in p/q form.

Therefore the Rational roots are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Now we will solve the first function given in part A.

f(x) = 3x^5 – 2x^4 - 9x^3 + x^2 - 12

Again find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q' .

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

Rational root are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Therefore the rational roots of the given function matches the rational roots of the given equation.

Hence the correct option is A

Find the amount of interest owned for a $1,895 loan for 4 years at a 7.9% interest rate
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

principal (p)=$1895

time (t)=4years

rate(r)=7.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

  • compound interest amount=p((1+r/100)^t-1)=$1895((1+7.9/100)^4-1)=$1895×((1.355)-1)=$1895×(0.355)=$672.725
  • simple interest=ptr/100=$1895×4×7.9/100=$598.82

Im not so sure about this. I need help making a proof that is 9 steps long. (See image)
Leona [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

Not entirely sure, but I believe something like this:

∠1 + ∠2 = 180° since they are a linear pair;

Since ∠1  = ∠2, we can say:

∠1 + ∠1 = 180°

2(∠1) = 180°

∠1 = 90°

And since:

∠1 = ∠2

∠2 = 90°

So the angle between t and s is 90°;

An angle of 90° means t and s are perpendicular (⊥)
