Answer:

x = 1, -1 + i, and -1 - i are the 3 roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rational Root Theorem will help us find any real roots in this 3rd degree polynomial.  The c value in that polynomia is -2 and the d value is 1 (the leading coefficient).  

If c is -2, then the factors of -2 are:

1, -1, 2, -2

If d is 1, then the factors of 1 are:

1, -1

And c/d gives us all the possible roots:

1/1, -1/1, 2/1, -2/1 which of course simplify to

1, -1 2, -2

We will now use synthetic division to find the first real root.  I will use x = 1 first.

For synthetic division:

1|   1     1     0     -2

is how it is set up.  Bring down the first number, 1, multiply it by 1 and put that product up under the second "1":

1|    1     1     0     -2

           1

     1

Now add to get

1|     1     1     0     -2

            1

      1     2

Multiply 2 by 1 and put that product up under the 0 and add:

1|     1     1     0     -2

             1     2

      1     2    2

Again multiply the 2 by 1 and put that product up undeer the -2 and add:

1|     1     1     0     -2

            1      2      2

      1     2     2      0

That remainder of 0 tells us that x = 1 is a root of that polynomial and the depressed polynomial, made up from the bold numbers, is one degree less than what it started with:

x^2+2x+2=0

This does not factor without imaginary roots, so putting it into the quadratic formula looks like this:

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4-4(1)(2)} }{2}

which simplifies to

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{-4} }{2}

The square root of -4 simplifies to 2i, so

x=\frac{-2+/-2i}{2}

which reduces to

x = -1 + i and

x = -1 - i

Answer:

125 defective jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

During inspections, 5 defective pairs of jeans are found in a shipment of 200 pairs of jeans .

We are supposed to determine the number of defective jeans in a shipment of 5000 pairs, if the trend continues.

Therefore;

5 defective = 200 pairs

What about in 5000 pairs?

Number of defective pairs = (5000 × 5 ) ÷ 200

                                            = 125 defective pairs

Thus, in a shipment of 5000 pairs of jeans there will be 125 defective pairs

Anya says, 62,996 rounds to 63,000 select all the places to which she could have rounded the number
OLga [1]

<span>She could round this number may it be in the tens and hundreds place. When rounding off a number, one should consider the place of the digit he or she would like to round it off to. One should consider what number is placed at the right of the rounding number. If the number is below 5, then that digit should remain and the rest of the digits to the right should be turned to 0s. </span>
