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}

Find \tan\left(\frac{17\pi}{12}\right)tan( 12 17π ​ )tangent, left parenthesis, start fraction, 17, pi, divided by, 12, end frac
uranmaximum [27]

One way to do this is to notice

\dfrac{17\pi}{12}=\dfrac\pi6+\dfrac{5\pi}4

Then

\tan\dfrac{17\pi}{12}=\tan\left(\dfrac\pi6+\dfrac{5\pi}4\right)=\dfrac{\tan\frac\pi6+\tan\frac{5\pi}4}{1-\tan\frac\pi6\tan\frac{5\pi}4}

We have

\tan\dfrac\pi6=\dfrac{\sin\frac\pi6}{\cos\frac\pi6}=\dfrac{\frac12}{\frac{\sqrt3}2}=\dfrac1{\sqrt3}

and since \tan x has a period of \pi,

\tan\dfrac{5\pi}4=\tan\left(\pi+\dfrac\pi4\right)=\tan\dfrac\pi4=1

and so

\tan\dfrac{17\pi}{12}=\dfrac{\frac1{\sqrt3}+1}{1-\frac1{\sqrt3}}=\dfrac{1+\sqrt3}{\sqrt3-1}=2+\sqrt3

What about this one ??
V125BC [204]
The first expression is equivalent to B

The second expression is equivalent to A

The third expression is equivalent to C

You are basically adding like terms. For example for the first expression, it is 7x^2 + 2x^2, which equals 9x^2. Remember since you're adding, do not add the exponents.

A water pipe has a circular cross section of radius 0.75 cm. Water flows through the pipe at a rate of 16 cm/s.
Alexeev081 [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of water flows through the pipe per second= π r² h = 22/7 × ( 3/4)² × 16

= 22/7 × 9/16 × 16

= 22/7 × 9

= 3.14 × 9 = 28.26 cm ³= 28.26/ 1000= 0.02826 litre

0.02826litre = 1 second

1 litre = 1 / 0.02826 = 100000/2826

= 35 .38 seconds

answer = 35.38 seconds

0.9(x+1.4)−2.3+0.1x=1.6
IgorC [24]

so what you do is  distribute the 0.9 to x and 1.4 to get 0.9x+1.26 then combine like terms 1.9x - 1.04= 1.6 then add 1.04 to both sides to get 1.9x = 2.64 divide 1.9 to both sides


answer:1.389 and if you round 1.39
