Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: D. 21ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is based on selection, fixing two '3' numbers into 5numbers to make it 7 numbers can be done in 7C2 ways.

Generally, nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

7C2 = 7!/(7-2)!2!

=7!/5!2!

=7×6×5!/5!×2!

=7×6/2

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) = x4 - x3 - 13x2 + x + 12
leonid [27]

We can find roots by setting f(x) = 0 --> x^4 - x^3 - 13x^2 + x + 12 = 0.

Factoring f(x) to make things easier for us gives us (x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x + 3), which, equal to 0, gives us the ability to set each set of parentheses = 0.

x - 1 = 0 gives us x = 1.

x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1.

x - 4 = 0 --> x = 4.

x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3.

our roots are x = 1, -1, 4, and -3.

Help!!!!!! algebra 1
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

f(8) = 195

Step-by-step explanation:

When the x if f(x) is replaced with an 8, this just means that it is the eighth term. All you really have to do is replace every X in the function to find the answer.

f(8) = 3 + 3(8)²

f(8) = 3 + 3(64)

f(8) = 3 + 192

f(8) = 195

Hope this helps!
