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.

The answer is 40°
i will tell you how,
Total angle sum of any triangle is 180°
∠A + ∠B  + ∠E = 180°
70° + 80° + ∠E = 180°
solve for ∠E
∠E = 30°
Now solve use ∠BDE,
∠B + ∠D + ∠E = 180°
20° + 90° + 30° + x = 180°           (in triangle DEB, ∠E = 30 + x ) (∠D is 90°)
solve for x
there fore, x = 40°
