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

You purchased a vehicle for $11,578 with a down payment of $4,100. You had 36 monthly payments of $251.34. Calculate the finance
Leona [35]
Finance charge is a fee that represents the cost of borrowing or credit.
In this equation, it shows the total amount paid through credit subtracted by the cost of vehicle.
let x be the finance charge

x = $4,100 + 36 months ($251.34/month) - <span>$11,578 
</span>x = $4,100 + $9,048.24 - <span>$11,578 </span>
x = ($4,100 + $9,048.24) - $11,578
x = $13,148.24 - $11,578 
x = $1,570.24.
The finance charge is $1,570.24
