What are the zeros of the polynomial function?

Mathematics

Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

The zeros of the function are 2 and 10. The points are (2,0) and (10,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the zeros, factor the polynomial function.

f(x) = x^2-12x+20\\f(x) = (x-2)(x-10)\\

To solve for x, set each factor equal to 0.

x-2 = 0 so x=2

x-10 = 0 so x=10

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 2 and 10


Discussion:

Approach 1:

20 = (-10)*(-2) and  (-10) + (-2) = -12 the coefficients of the polynomial. Hence

x^2 -12x + 20 = ( x- 2) * ( x-10)


Approach 2:

From the quadratic formula ( a = 1, b = -12, c = 20)

x =    (  -(-12) +\- sqrt( ((-12)^2 - 4*1*20) )  /  (2 * 1)

   =    ( 12 +\- sqrt( 144-80)  ) /2

  =   (12 +\-  sqrt(64) ) /2

  =  (12 +\- 8 ) /2


x  = ( 12 + 8) /2 = 20/2 = 10

or

x = ( 12 - 8)/ 2 = 4/2 = 2



Thank you,

MrB

What is the value of 6x (power of 2) when x=1.5
Yanka [14]
So you’d put 1.5 by the 6 so it’d be 6(1.5) to the power of 2. then you’d do 1.5*1.5=2.25*6=13.5

If Karri takes a 7 question true false test and guess on every question, what is the
dusya [7]

Answer:

The  probability that she gets all 7 questions correct is 0.0078.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Karri takes a 7 question true-false test and guess on every question.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,........        

where, n = number of samples (trials) taken = 7 question

            r = number of success = all 7 questions correct

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

                   question is correct, i.e. p = 50%

Let X = <u><em>Number of question that are correct</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.50)

Now, the  probability that she gets all 7 questions correct is given by = P(X = 7)

         P(X = 7)  =  \binom{7}{7} \times 0.50^{7} \times (1-0.50)^{7-7}

                        =  1 \times 0.50^{7} \times 0.50^{0}

                        =  <u>0.0078</u>

Emerson earns money from walking dogs and answering surveys. He earns $5 a week for each dog he walks and $0.10 for each survey
maria [59]
Part A: X=(35-(100*0.10))/5  35= 5X+(100*0.10)
Where X is the number of dogs he walked.

Part B: To solve the equation just simplify it by using inverse operations. It should give you 5 dogs walked. The algebraic property justifying this is inverse operations.

Part C: Emerson walked 5 dogs last week.
