Possible roots are the factors of 20:  {1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20} and their negatives.

Use synthetic division.  For example, if I chose 4 as a possible root, the synthetic division setup would be

     ____________
4  /  1   -4   -5   20
            4     0   -20
     _____________
       1    0    -5     0

This tells us that 4 is a root (I was just lucky) and (x-4) is a factor.

The quotient (remaining factor) is (x^2 - 5), which, if factored, yields 

x = sqrt(5) and x = -sqrt(5)


In summary, the roots (or zeros) of   <span>f(x)= x^3-4x^2-5x+20  are
 {sqrt(5), -sqrt(5), 4}</span>

denis-greek [22]

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total watches in an inventory = 1000

Number of shipments sent out = 168, 231, 411

So, Remaining inventory of watches would be :

1000-(168+231+411)\\\\=1000-810\\\\=190

New receipts = 21, 145 and 11

So, Number of watches on hand becomes :

190+(21+145+11)\\\\=367

Hence, Third option is correct.

There were 567 people at a concert when a band started playing. After each song, only one-third of the people stayed to hear the
emmasim [6.3K]
To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.

At x = 0   y = 567
at x = 1   y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)

Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:

y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )
