Answer:

{ -1, -3i,3i,4,-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to try to get the Rational Root Theorem to work for us.

Since the coefficient of leading term is 1 we just need to look at the factors of the constant.

Possible rational zeros are going to be the factors of -144.

So here are some possible rational zeros: 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,24,36,48,72 and also the negative version of these numbers are numbers we must consider.

I'm going to see if -1 works.  

(-1)^5+(-1)^4-7(-1)^3-7(-1)^2-144(-1)-144

-1   +   1     +7      -7       +144  -144=0

So -1 is a zero so x+1 is a factor. I'm going to use synthetic division to see what multiplies to x+1 that will me the initial polynomial expression we had.

-1   |    1       1      -7        -7      -144    -144

     |           -1      0          7        0       144

     | ________ __________________

          1      0     -7         0       -144      0

So the (x+1)(x^4-7x^2-144)=0

The cool thing is that other factor is a sort of quadratic in disguise. That is it becomes a quadratic if you let u=x^2. So let's do that.

u^2-7u-144=0

(u+9)(u-16)=0

u=-9 or u=16

So x^2=-9 or x^2=16.

Square rooting both sides gives us:

x= \pm 3i \text{ or } x=\pm 4

So the solution set is { -1, -3i,3i,4,-4}

A quantity with an initial value of 9100 grows continuously at a rate of 0.85% per hour. What is the value of the quantity after
ycow [4]

Answer:

10,962,54

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth is equal to

y=a(1+r)^x

where

a is the initial value  

r is the rate of growth

x is the time in hours

y is the value of the quantity

we have

a=9,100\\r=0.85\%=0.85/100=0.0085

substitute

y=9,100(1+0.0085)^x

y=9,100(1..0085)^x

For x=22 hours

substitute

y=9,100(1..0085)^{22} =10,962,54

These tables represent an exponential function.Find the average rate of change for the interval from x=8 to x=9
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Option D. 13122 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see from the table having interval and average rate of change, figures under average rate of change are forming a geometric sequence.

Sequence is 2, 6, 18 , 54, 162, 486.

and we have to find the average rate of change from x = 8 to x = 9, means we have to find 9th term of the given sequence.

Now we know that explicit formula of the sequence can be written as T_{n}=ar^{n-1}

where Tn is the nth term of the sequence.

a = first term

r = common ratio

n = number of the term

Now from this explicit formula we can find the 9th term of the sequence.

From the given table

a = 2, r = 3, n = 9

T_{9}=2.3^{9-1}=2.3^{8}

T9 = 13122

Therefore Option D. 13122 will be the answer.

Which of the following expressions are equivalent (equal) to 3(2x - 7)
velikii [3]

Answer:

6x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x - 7)

Use the Distribute Property of Multiplication by multiplying the number outside the parenthesis with the numbers inside.

3 × 2x = 6x

3 × -7 = -21

Combine:

6x - 21

Hope this helped.

What is the solution, if any, to the inequality |3x|≥0?
Murljashka [212]

The inequality is all real numbers.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

A statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Given:

|3x|≥0

3x = 0

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

x= 0/3

x=0 = RHS
