Answer:

[x - 4][x + 2][2x + 3][x - 1]; 1, -2, -1\frac{1}{2}, 4 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Rational Root Theorem, we take the Least Common Divisor [LCD] between the <em>leading coefficient</em> of 2, and the <em>initial value</em> of 24, which is 1, so this automatically makes our first factor of x - 1. Next, since the factor\divisor is in the form of x - c, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, −c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

1| 2 −3 −21 −2 24

↓ 2 −1 −22 −24

_______________

2 −1 −22 −24 0 → 2x^3 - x^2 - 22x - 24

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [2x⁴ - 3x³ - 21x² - 2x + 24]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 2 in your quotient can be a 2x³, the −x² follows right behind it, bringing −22x right up against it, and bringing up the rear, −24, giving you the quotient of 2x^3 - x^2 - 22x - 24.

However, we are not finished yet. This is our <em>first quotient</em>. The next step, while still using the Rational Root Theorem with our <em>first</em><em> </em><em>quotient</em>, is to take the Greatest Common Divisor [GCD] of the <em>leading coefficient</em> of 2, and the <em>initial value</em> of −24, which in this case would be −2 because the negative overpowers everything, so this makes our next factor of x + 2. Then again, we use Synthetic Division because x + 2is in the form of x - c:

−2| 2 −1 −22 −24

↓ −4 10 24

____________

2 −5 −12 0 → 2x^2 - 5x - 12

Finally, you can just simply factor this second quotient:

2x^2 - 5x - 12 \\ \\ [2x^2 + 3x] - [8x - 12] \\ x[2x + 3] \: \: -4[2x + 3] \\ \\ [x - 4][2x + 3]

So altogether, we have our four factors of [x - 4][x + 2][2x + 3][x - 1], then setting all factors equal to zero, you get all the values of 1, -2, -1\frac{1}{2}, and\:4.

Answer:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

2 x^4 - 3 x^3 - 21 x^2 - 2 x + 24 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with four terms:

(x - 4) (x - 1) (x + 2) (2 x + 3) = 0

Split into four equations:

x - 4 = 0 or x - 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:

x = 4 or x - 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x + 2 = 0 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or 2 x + 3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or 2 x = -3

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer:  x = 4 or x = 1 or x = -2 or x = -3/2

Answer:

6 root 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagous Therom

A^2 = B^2 + C^2

B^2 = C^2 - A^2

B^2 = 36 - (2 Root 3)^2

B^2 = 24

B = 2 root 6

A rectangle has a length that is three times the width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 feet.what is the area of the recta
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The area is 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are going to need two different equations-

l = w(3)

2l + 2w = 40

Insert the first equation into the second-

2(3w) + 2w = 40

Simplify this equation-

6w + 2w = 40

8w = 40

Divide both sides by 5

w = 5

Solve first equation

l = 5(3)

l = 15

Then find the area-

5 x 15 = 75

(intro) Slope is change in y divided by change in x (axes). Here, the y axis is depth and the x axis is hours. So, the slope is change in depth between any two points, divided by the change in hours between the same points. The slope of this line is half a foot depth divided by 2 hours.
a) So, the slope is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25, or 1/4.
b) The graph shows a constant rate of change because the line is straight (it increases at the same speed. If the line was curving, it would not be a constant rate of change).
c) Yes, because the line has a constant rate of change now.
