Answer:

Zeros: -2, 1, -1

Multiplicity of each zero is 1

The graph crosses the x-axisat each zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the polynomial function

f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - x- 2.

First, factor this function:

f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 - x- 2=(x^3+2x^2)-(x+2)=x^2(x+2)-(x+2)=(x+2)(x^2-1)=(x+2)(x-1)(x+1).

The zero of the function is such value of x at which f(x)=0. Note that f(x)=0 when

(x+2)(x-1)(x+1)=0

This is possible when

x=-2\ \text{ or }x=1\text{ or }x=-1.

Therefore, the function f(x) has three zeros. Each zero is of multiplicity 1 (because each factor has 1st degree)

This means that at each zero the function will crosss the x-axis. (The function will touch the x-axis at its zero when this zero has even multiplicity)

Explain how both are correct./ bc I have the answer but I didn’t explain
Rudik [331]
They are both correct becuase lets say it was a shirt that was $30 and it was 30% off. For Jasani it would be 30 * 0.7 which equals $9 then you would subtract this 30 - 9 = 21. For Hanna it would be 30 - 0.3(30) which equals $21. So in the end they are both correct!

The figure is made up of a cylinder and a cone.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

51*pi or 160.221

Step-by-step explanation:

total volume = volume of a cone + volume of a cylinder

total volume = 1/3* pi*r^2* height(of cone) + pi* r^2 *height(of cylinder)

total volume = 1/3 * pi * 3^2 * 5 + pi * 3^2 * 4

total volume = 51*pi = 160.221

Which of the following steps indicates the addition property of equality while solving the equation –1 – 6x = x – 15? Question 4
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B) -1-6 x +15 = x - 15 +15

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

Given equation is  –1 – 6 x = x – 15

<em>By addition property of equality </em>

<em>                        ⇒     - 1 - 6 x + 15 = x - 15 +15</em>

                      ⇒      - 6 x + 14  = x

subtracting 'x' on both sides ,we get

                       ⇒      - 6 x -x +14 =0

                        ⇒      - 7 x +14 =0

                         ⇒      -7 x = - 14

   Dividing '-7'  on both sides , we get

                                 x  = 2

<em>The solution of given equation is    x  = 2</em>
