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

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship which crosses through the origin (0,0) and which has a proportional constant. We can determine this either by finding (0,0) where x=0 and y=0 in the table or by dividing y/x. None of the tables contain (0,0) so we will divide y by x. We are looking for a table which when each y is divided by its x we have the same constant appearing.

<u>Table A</u>

\frac{12}{3} \neq \frac{15}{6} \neq \frac{18}{8} \neq \frac{20}{10}

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

<u>Table B</u>

\frac{0.5}{1}=\frac{1}{2}  =\frac{3.5}{7} =\frac{4}{8}

These fractions are equal and each shows the numerator to be half of the denominator. This is proportional.

<u>Table C</u>

\frac{1}{3}\neq \frac{2.5}{7.5} \neq \frac{4}{15} \neq \frac{6}{20}

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

<u>Table D</u>

\frac{7}{2} \neq \frac{9}{3}\neq  \frac{11}{4} \neq \frac{13}{5}

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

333.3

Step-by-step explanation:

45 % = 150

100% = <u>100% x 150</u>

                  45%

= 333.3

non of the answers presented makes sense as 45 % = 150 the number (100%) should be more than 150
