Answer:

c. x - 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is f(x) = 3x^4 - 5x^3 - 71 x^2 + 157x + 60

To test if the given equations are factors of the polynomial, check if the remainder is equal to zero if substituted into the equation.

For x - 3, x = 3

Substituting x = 3 into the given polynomial:

f(3) = 3(3)^4 - 5(3)^3 - 71 (3)^2 + 157(3) + 60\\f(3) = 0

x - 3 is a factor

For x - 4, x = 4

Substituting x = 4 into the given polynomial:

f(4) = 3(4)^4 - 5(4)^3 - 71 (4)^2 + 157(4) + 60\\f(4) = 0

x - 4 is a factor

For x - 2/3, x = 2/3

Substituting x = 2/3 into the given polynomial:

f(2/3) = 3(2/3)^4 - 5(2/3)^3 - 71 (2/3)^2 + 157(2/3) + 60\\f(2/3) = 132.22

x - 2/3 is  not a factor

For x + 1/3, x = -1/3

Substituting x = -1/3 into the given polynomial:

f(-1/3) = 3(-1/3)^4 - 5(-1/3)^3 - 71 (-1/3)^2 + 157(-1/3) + 60\\f(-1/3) = 0

x + 1/3 is  a factor

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission to the fair is $5 and the cost per ride is 50 cents.

Let the number of rides that he can go on be x

If one ride costs 50 cents, x rides will cost 50×x = 50x cents. Converting 50 cents to dollar, it becomes 50/100 = $0.5.

So x rides will cost $0.5x

If his parents gave him $20, he will pay $5 to be admitted into the fair. He would be left with 20- 5 = $15

The equation to find how many rides he can go on will be

0.5x = 15

Since one ride costs $0.5

x rides cost $15

x = 15/0.5 = 30

He can go on 30 rides

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

<u>Two</u>

============================

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution for any system of equations is the intersection points between the graph that representing the system of equation.

So, for the given system of equation, we have  a circle and a parabola.

As shown in the figure, The circle and parabola are intersects at two points

So, there are two solutions for the system of equations on the graph.

So, The answer is option two.
