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)

The ratio of the number of beads Karen had to the number of beads Patricia had was 2:5 .After Patricia bought another 75 beads,t
blondinia [14]
K:P=2:5
P+75 it is 4:15
at first, P=5 units
so we have
2:5 and 4:15
since the K units didn't change we conver them to the same
2:5 times 2:2=4:10
so from 4:10 to 4:15 is a change of 75 in the right side
therefor 75=5 units so 75/5=15/1= 1 unit
so at first K=4 units=4 times 1 unit=4 times 15=60
P=10 units so 10 times 15=150

at first
Karen=60
Patricia=150
