Approximate the real zeros of f(x) = 2x^4 - x^3 + x-2 to the nearest tenth

Mathematics

Vlad1618 [11]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-1.0, 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial function is

f(x) = 2 {x}^{4} - {x}^{3} + x - 2

According to the Rational Roots Theorem, the possible roots of this function are;

\pm1,\pm \frac{1}{2}

We now use the Remainder Theorem to obtain;

f(1) = 2 {(1)}^{4} - {(1)}^{3} + 1 - 2

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

f( - 1) = 2 {( - 1)}^{4} - {( - 1)}^{3} - 1 - 2  

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

But;

f( \frac{1}{2} ) = - 1.5

f( - \frac{1}{2} ) = - 2.25

Since f(1)=0 and f(-1)=0, the real zeros to the nearest tenth are:

-1.0 and 1.0

This box can be packed with 48 units cubes. The edge length of each unit cube is 1 meter. What is the volume of the box?
Dafna1 [17]

48 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube has equal length width and height

A cube in this case has length 1m meaning the width and height are also 1 m each in length.

The volume of the cube is (L * W * H) =  1 * 1 * 1 = 1 m³

If 48 of these can fit in the bigger box, then the bigger box has the volume of;

48 * 1 m³ = 48 m³

The second of 2 numbers is 5 more than twice the first. Their sum is 29. Find the numbers. (With steps)
hodyreva [135]
So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps            -5    -5
                               -----------------------
                                        3x   = 24
      Divide both sides by 3 so you get
                                          x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
                 So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21
