How many real number solutions does the equation x3 + 5x2 + 3x – 9 = 0 have?

2 answers:

8 0

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.

We are looking to find the point where the curve discontinued

Step 1: Factorise both numerator and denominator (if possible)
$\frac{x+5}{ x^{2} +3x-10}= \frac{(x+5)}{(x+5)(x-2)}$

Step 2: Recognise the common factor, which is $(x+5)$

Step 3: Equate the common factor to 0
$x+5=0$
$x=-5$

iragen [17]

Let q be the number of 25 cent coins.
Let d be the number of 10 cent coins.
0.25q+0.10d= 3.95...(1)
q-d=6...(2)

(2)-> q-d= 6
q-d+d= 6+d
q= 6+d...(2a)

(2a)-> (1) 0.25q+0.10d=3.95
0.25(6+d)=0.10d= 3.95
1.95+0.25d+0.10d= 3.95
0.35d= 3.95-1.5
0.35d/0.35= 2.45/0.35
d= 7...(3)

(3)->(2) q-d= 6
q-7= 6
q=6+7
q= 13
There are 13 quarters and 7 dimes.

Answer:

m∠Y = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of complementary angles is 90°. If we let s and y represent m∠S and m∠Y, respectively, the angle measures in degrees satisfy ...

s + y = 90

(4y -110) +y = 90 . . . . . . . . substitute for s

5y = 200 . . . . . . . . . add 110

y = 40 . . . . . . . divide by 5

The measure of angle Y is 40°.
