Suppose your business has a special checking account used just for paying the phone bill. The balance is $740.00 this month. Nex

t month the balance will be $707.60, after that it will be $675.20, and on the third month the balance will be $642.80. Write an explicit formula to represent the balance in the account as an arithmetic sequence. How many months can you pay your phone bill without depositing any more money in the account?

740-707.60=32.40
707.60-675.20=32.40
675.20-642.80=32.40
so that means every month you are paying 32.40$ bill. to get how many months you can pay phonebills without depositing any more money devide the 740/32.40=22.83 but you can not pay bill for the 0.83 month so answer will be 22 months

Describe how both the Rational Root Theorem and Descartes’ Rules of Signs help you to find the zeros of a polynomial? Give me an
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational Root Theorem: If the polynomial

P(x) = a n x n + a n – 1 x n – 1 + ... + a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0

has any rational roots, then they must be of the form of (factors of a0/factors of an).

Example: F(x) = 4x² + 5x +2

If this polynomial has any rational roots, then they must be (factors of 2)/(factors of 4), so (±1, ±2)/(±1, ±2, ±4). So if this polynomial has any rational roots, they must be either: ±1, ±1/2, ±1/4, or ±2. Notice that this polynomial doesn't have to have any rational roots, but if it does, then the roots must fit the Rational Root Theorem.

Descartes' Rules of Signs:

a). In a polynomial, how many time the sign changes is how many positive roots the polynomial will have.

Example: 5x³ + 6x² - 2x - 1

In this expression, the sign only changed once, between 6x² and 2x, so it will only have one positive root.

Example 2: 6x³ - 4x² + x - 6

In this expression, the sign changed 3 times (remember there is a invisible "+" sign before the 6x³), so it will have 3 positive roots.

b). In a polynomial, if you plug in "-x" for all "x", then how many times the new polynomial changes sign is how many negative roots the old polynomial have.

Example: 5x³ + 6x² - 2x - 1.

If we plug in "-x" for all "x", then we get 5(-x)³ + 6(-x)² - 2(-x) -1, which simplifies to -5x³ + 6x² + 2x -1. In this new expression, the sign changed twice, so we have two negative roots for the expression. Notice how we got one positive root the first time and two negative roots the second time, and 1 + 2 = 3. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that for a nth degree polynomial, it will have n complex roots. The polynomial we worked with was a 3rd degree polynomial, and we got 1 + 2 = 3 roots in the end.

Sis In order to identify the zeros of the function, a student factored the cubic function ()=−−f of , open x close , equals , x
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

f(x)=x(x-5)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the steps of the factorization of the polynomial f(x) is not given, I will proceed to give the correct factorization of f(x).

f(x)=x³-3x²-10x

First, we factor out x since it is a common term.

f(x)=x(x²-3x-10)

Next, we factorize the quadratic expression x²-3x-10.

f(x)=x(x²-5x+2x-10)

f(x)=x(x(x-5)+2(x-5))

f(x)=x(x-5)(x+2)

The correct factorization of the polynomial f(x)=x³-3x²-10x is: f(x)=x(x-5)(x+2)

Pls solve question 4b. Verrry urgent . Ok tyy
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

y = 3\left(x-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\dfrac{41}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

y = 3x^2 - 9x + 17

Factor out 3 from the first 2 terms:

y = 3(x^2 - 3x) + 17

Divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it:  (-3 ÷ 2)² = 9/4

Add this inside the parentheses and subtract the distributed value of it outside the parentheses:

y = 3\left(x^2 - 3x+\dfrac{9}{4}\right) + 17-\dfrac{27}{4}

Factor the parentheses and combine the constants:

y = 3\left(x-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\dfrac{41}{4}
