Flura [38]3 years ago
8 0

It has to be solved first.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Parentheses has to be solved first according to the BODMAS Principle which is Brackets Open Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction
  • If this is not followed, the answers will be different and will not get the right answer.
  • It is the same as PEDMAS which is Parenthesis Exponents Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction

The change in water level of a lake is modeled by a polynomial function, W(x). Describe how to find the x-intercepts of W(x) and
Agata [3.3K]
<span>First. <u>Finding the x-intercepts of </u>W(x)
</span><span>
Let W(x) be the change in water level. So to find the x-intercepts of this function we can use The Rational Zero Test that states:

To find the zeros of the polynomial:

f(x)=a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0}

We use the Trial-and-Error Method which states that a factor of the constant term:

a_{0}

can be a zero of a polynomial (the x-intercepts).

So let's use an example: Suppose you have the following polynomial:

W(x)=x^{4}-x^{3}-7x^{2}+x+6

where the constant term is a_{0}=6. The possible zeros are the factors of this term, that is:

1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 6 \ and \ -6.

Thus:

</span>W(1)=0 \\ W(-1)=0 \\ W(2)=-12 \\ W(-2)=0 \\ W(3)=0 \\ W(-3)=48 \\ W(6)=840 \\ W(-6)=1260<span>

From the foregoing, we can affirm that 1, -1, -2 \ and \ 3 are zeros of the polynomial.

</span>Second. <u>Construction a rough graph of</u> W(x)

Given that this is a polynomial, then the function is continuous. To graph it we set the roots on the coordinate system. We take the interval:

[-2,-1]

and compute W(c) where c is a real number between -2 and -1. If W(c)>0, the curve start rising, if not, the curve start falling. For instance:

If \ c=-\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ then \ w(-\frac{3}{2})=-2.81

Therefore the curve start falling and it goes up and down until x=3 and from this point it rises without a bound as shown in the figure below

Five dozen cds were bought for $90 a peddlar sold them at 5 for $12 calculate his profit.
valina [46]
If 12 dozen were bought for $90 that means each CD was bought at the price of $0.66

If he sold all 60 of the CD's for 5 for $12, he'd make $144. 

Subtract the income by the original buying price to find his profit. $144 - $90

The peddler made $54 profit.

P and W are twice-differentiable functions with P(7)=2(W(7)). The line y=9+2.5(x-7) is tangent to the graph of P at x=7. The lin
fiasKO [112]

Using the product rule, we have

m(x) = x W(x) \implies m'(x) = xW'(x) + W(x)

so that

m'(7) = 7W'(7) + W(7)

The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).

When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and

<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7)   ==>   <em>y</em> = 4.5

means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.

The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.

Then

m'(7) = 7\cdot2 + 4.5 = \boxed{18.5}
