Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is:

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12?

A).f(x) = 3x5 – 2x4 – 9x3 + x2 – 12

B).f(x) = 3x6 – 2x5 + 9x4 – x3 + 12x

C).f(x) = 12x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 3

D).f(x) = 12x5 – 8x4 + 36x3 – 4x2 + 48

<u>Solution:</u>

The function given to us is:

3x5 – 2x4 + 9x3 – x2 + 12

Find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors of 12 are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q'

The factors of 3 are:

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

We know that we write rational terms in p/q form.

Therefore the Rational roots are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Now we will solve the first function given in part A.

f(x) = 3x^5 – 2x^4 - 9x^3 + x^2 - 12

Again find the factors of 12 and consider it as 'p'

The factors are:

p = +/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6

Now find the factors of 3 and consider it as 'q' .

q = +/- 1 , +/- 3

Rational root are given by p/q

+/- 1 , +/-2 , +/-3 , +/- 4 , +/-6 , +/- 1/3 , +/- 2/3 , +/- 4/3

Therefore the rational roots of the given function matches the rational roots of the given equation.

Hence the correct option is A.

An isosceles triangle has an angle that measures 90°. Which other angles could be in that isosceles triangle? Choose all that ap
Inga [223]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If one angle = 90 degrees, then the other 2 added together must also = 90.

There is only 1 answer to this, since the triangle is isosceles..

x + x = 90        Combine

2x = 90            Divide by 2

x = 90/2          

x = 45

So both acute angles = 45 degrees.

Find f(x) if it is known that f(x−6)=12x−72.
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

f(x)=12x

Step-by-step explanation

We know that f(x) is our y-coordinate and x is the x-coordinate

Next we should insert x-6 as x in the equation

This is f(x)=12(x-6)-72

But if you look at this that leads to 12x-72 (ignore y-intercept)

That is our first equation  

This means that if you take out -6 from the x

You will get f(x)=12x

Question
maria [59]

Answer:

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of ounces of raisins

y -----> the number of ounces of nuts

we know that

x+y=24 -----> equation A

x=2y -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

(2y)+y=24

3y=24

y=8 ounces of nuts

Find the value of x

x=2(8)=16 ounces of raisins

therefore

He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts
