let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long

For the polynomial function ƒ(x) = x4 −25x2, find the zeros. Then determine the multiplicity at each zero and state whether the
Veronika [31]

<u>ANSWER</u>

The zeros are x=-5,x=0,x=5


EXPLANATION

Given;

f(x)=x^4-25x^2.


We can rewrite the function as


f(x)=x^2(x^2-25)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x^2-5^2)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x-5)(x+5)



The zeros are found by equating the function to zero.


\Rightarrow x^2(x-5)(x+5)=0


\Rightarrow (x-5)=0

The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=5


Or

\Rightarrow (x+5)=0


The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=-5


Or


\Rightarrow x^2=0


This last root has a multiplicity of 2.

That is

x=0 repeats two times.


Since the multiplicity is even, the graph touches the x-axis at the point x=0.



See graph.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

1. 1. Because convenient sampling is adopted here data is only gotten from students that eat in the hall in a given period of time so this is a source of bias

Also one study center that is the Hall of only one school is used this is also biased and may affect the result of the study

To avoid this bias a simple random sampling where each student have an equal chance of being selected in the study should be adopted
