Since the number in front of the x^2 term is 1 we can do this

what 2 numbers multiply to get 6 and add to 5?
2 and 3
(x+2)(x+3) is factored form

Hey there!

I'm going to set up the equation slightly different.

Ron walks 0.5 mile on a track in 10 minutes. Stevie walks 0.25 mile on the track in 6 minutes find the unit rate for each walker

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ron takes 10 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.5 miles

Stevie takes 6 minutes to walk on a track to cover a distance of 0.25 miles

To find their unit rates in mile per hour and choose the faster one.

Solution:

Unit rate in miles per hour signifies their speeds. Thus, we will find out their speeds.

Ron:

Distance= 0.5 miles

Time = 10 minutes = $10\ min\times \frac{1\ hr}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{6}$ hours

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{0.5}{\frac{1}{6}}=0.5\times6=3\ miles/hour$

Stevie

Distance = 0.25 miles

Time = 6 minutes = $6\ min\times \frac{1\ hr}{60\ min}=\frac{1}{10}$ hours

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}=\frac{0.25}{\frac{1}{10}}=0.25\times10=2.5\ miles/hour$

Thus, we have

Ron's speed = 3 miles/hour

Stevie's speed = 2.5 miles/hour

On comparing we see Ron is walking faster than Stevie.

a. There are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation and

b. There are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

<h3>What is the Descartes'rule of sign?</h3>

Descartes' rule of sign states that

The number of real positive zero of a polynomial f(x) is the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x) or an even number less than the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(x)
The number of real negative zero of a polynomial f(x) is the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x) or an even number less than the number of sign changes of the coefficients of f(-x)

<h3>How to find the number of possible positive and negative roots are there for the equation?</h3>

Given the equation 0 = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1, writing it as a polynomial function, we have f(x) = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

<h3>a. The number of positive roots</h3>

So, to find the number of positive roots, we find the number of sign changes of the polynomial f(x).

So, f(x) = −8x¹⁰ − 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

Since f(x) has coefficients -8, -2, + 8, -4, -1, there are two sign changes from -2 to + 8 and from + 8 to -4.

So, there are 2 or 2 - 2 = 0 real positive roots.

So, there are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation.

<h3>b. The number of negative roots</h3>

So, to find the number of negative roots, we find the number of sign changes of the polynomial f(-x).

So, f(-x) = −8(-x)¹⁰ − 2(-x)⁷ + 8(-x)⁴ − 4(-x)² − 1

= −8x¹⁰ + 2x⁷ + 8x⁴ − 4x² − 1

Since f(x) has coefficients -8, +2, + 8, -4, -1, there are two sign changes from -8 to + 2 and from + 8 to -4.

So, there are 2 or 2 - 2 = 0 real negative roots.

So, there are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.

So,

There are 0 or 2 real positive roots for the equation and
There are 0 or 2 real negative roots for the equation.
