F(x) = x³ + 5x² + 3x - 9 = 0
There is 1 sign change in f(x), so there is 1 positive real root.

f(-x) = -x³ + 5x² - 3x - 9
There are 2 sign changes in f(-x), so there are either
(a) 2 negative real roots, or
(b) a pair of complex roots.

Use the Remainder Theorem to test for the positive real root.
f(1) = 1 + 5 + 3 - 9 = 0
Therefore (x-1) is a factor of f(x).

Perform synthetic division.
1 | 1  5  3  -9
        1  6   9
  ---------------
    1   6  9  0

f(x) = (x-1)(x² + 6x + 9) = (x-1)(x+3)²
The zeros or roots are 1, -3, -3.
Therefore there are 3 real solutions for f(x) = 0.

Answer: 3 real solutions

KatRina [158]

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

a because the the sin is opposite divided by hypotenuse and the opposite of a is 12 and the hypotenuse is 13 so sin a would be 12/13

this is equals to the cosine of b because cos is adjacent/hypotenuse and the adjacent of b is 12 and the hypotenuse is 13 so cos b would be 12/13

hope this helps :)

Help me, please A movie theater decreased the size of its popcorn bags by 10%. If the new popcorn bags hold 18 ounces, how much
Iteru [2.4K]
Movie Theater question:

the numerical value of 10% is 0.1, just as 50% is 0.5. if you multiple 20 by 0.1 you get 2, and subtract 2 from 20 you get 18.
The answer is 20 ounces.

Savings Account question:

if you multiply 0.1 by 220 you will get 10% of 220, then just add that answer to 220. so 0.1 x 220 is 22, 22+220 is 242.
The answer is $242.00

I hope this helps :)

Which function below has the smallest slope?. A Graph with a line going through -5 on the Y Axis and Postive 2 and a half on the
Allushta [10]
<span>The three equations can be written as 1) y = 2x - 5 ; 2) y = 2x - 3 and ;3) y = 2x + 5. Now, the slope can be found by slop intercept form of linear equation i.e. y = mx+b where m is the slope. From the above equations, we can see that all the the three have the same slope i.e. m = 2.</span>
