Answer:  The correct option is

(B) 5, − one third , one half.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct option that represents the zeroes of the following cubic function :

f(x)=6x^3-31x^2+4x+5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

if for any number a, the function f(x) is zero at x =a , then x = a is a zero of the function f(x).

We have, for the given function, at x = 5,

f(5)\\\\=6\times5^3-31\times5^2+4\times5+5\\\\=125\times6-31\times25+20+5\\\\=750-775+25\\\\=0

So, x = 5 is a zero of the function f(x).

Now, we have

f(x)\\\\\=6x^3-31x^2+4x+5\\\\=6x^2(x-5)-x(x-5)-(x-5)\\\\=(x-5)(6x^2-x-1)\\\\=(x-5)(6x^2-3x+2x-1)\\\\=(x-5)(3x(2x-1)+1(2x-1))\\\\=(x-5)(3x+1)(2x-1)

The zeroes of f(x) are given by

f(x)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x-5)(3x+1)(2x-1)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x-5=0,~~3x+1=0,~~2x-1=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=5,-\dfrac{1}{3},\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the zeroes of f(x) are 5, -one-third, one half.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Answer:

5, − one third , one half

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number 'n' is a zero of f(x), then f(n)=0.

We could solve this problem by factorizing the polynomial, but the quickest way is by plugging the options into the equation.

We know that f(x) = 6x3 − 31x2 + 4x + 5.

Then:

  • f(-5) ≠ 0
  • f(1/3) ≠ 0
  • f(-1/2) ≠ 0
  • f(5) = 0
  • f(-1/3) = 0
  • f(1/2) = 0

Then, the correct option is: 5, − one third , one half.

Finally, the factorized form is: (x−5)(2x−1)(3x+1). If you expand it, you will get the original polynomial.

DochEvi [55]

It should be noted that the value of 597 subtracted from 884 is 287.

<h3>How to illustrate the subtraction?</h3>

The information is simply that we should subtract 884 and 597 and also illustrate it.

This will be:

884 - 597 = 287.

A word problem illustrating this is that a man had 884 pens and gave 597 pens to his friends. How many pens does he have left?

This will be:

= 884 - 597 = 287

Please helppp !<br><br> whats the measure of angle 1
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1 = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is an isosceles.

Subtract the angle 40 from 180 (all angles in a triangle add up to 180

The bottom two angles are the same, so dividing the number given by 180 - 40 by 2

180 - 40 = 140

140 / 2 = 70
