Answer:

1/2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a pretty involved problem, so I'm going to start by laying out two facts that our going to help us get there.

  1. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra tells us that any polynomial has <em>as many zeroes as its degree</em>. Our function f(x) has a degree of 4, so we'll have 4 zeroes. Also,
  2. Complex zeroes come in pairs. Specifically, they come in <em>conjugate pairs</em>. If -2i is a zero, 2i must be a zero, too. The "why" is beyond the scope of this response, but this result is called the "complex conjugate root theorem".

In 2., I mentioned that both -2i and 2i must be zeroes of f(x). This means that both x-2i and x+2i are factors of f(x), and furthermore, their product, x^2+4, is <em>also</em> a factor. To see what's left after we factor out that product, we can use polynomial long division to find that

2x^4+5x^3+5x^2+20x-12=(x^2+4)(2x^2+5x-3)

I'll go through to steps to factor that second expression below:

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

Solving both of the expressions when f(x) = 0 gets us our final two zeroes:

2x-1=0\\2x=1\\x=1/2

x+3=0\\x=-3

So, the remaining zeroes are 1/2 and 3.

Answer:

The roots are -2i, 2i, 1/2 and -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complex roots exist as conjugate pairs so if one root is -2i the other is 2i. So a factor of f(x) is (x - 2i)(2 + 2i).  = x^2 + 4.

So dividing:

                           2x^2 + 5x - 3   <---- Quotient.

                           --------------------------------------------

x^2 + 0x + 4  ) 2x^4 + 5x^3 + 5x^2 + 20x - 12

                       2x^4 + 0x^3 + 8x^2

                                   5x^3  - 3x^2 + 20x

                                   5x^3  + 0x^2 + 20x

                                                -3x^2 - 12

                                                  -3x^2 - 12.

Finding the other 2 zeroes:

2x^2 + 5x - 3 = 0

(2x - 1) ( x + 3) = 0

x = 1/2, -3.

Two bicyclists are 7/8 of the way through a mile long tunnel when a train approaches the closer end at 40 mph. The riders take o
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the cyclists stopped, and accelerated instantaneously at the same speed than before but in opposite direction , then

distance= speed*time

since the cyclists and the train reaches the end of the tunnel at the same time and denoting L as the length of the tunnel :

time = distance covered by cyclists / speed of cyclists = distance covered by train / speed of the train

thus denoting v as the speed of the cyclists :

7/8*L / v = L / 40 mph

v = 7/8 * 40 mph = 35 mph

v= 35 mph

thus the cyclists rode at 35 mph

An English professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 15% of scores B: Scores below the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

59 to 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean test scores = u = 74.2

Standard Deviation = \sigma = 9.6

According to the given data, following is the range of grades:

Grade A: 85% to 100%

Grade B: 55% to 85%

Grade C: 19% to 55%

Grade D: 6% to 19%

Grade F: 0% to 6%

So, the grade D will be given to the students from 6% to 19% scores. We can convert these percentages to numerical limits using the z scores. First we need to to identify the corresponding z scores of these limits.

6% to 19% in decimal form would be 0.06 to 0.19. Corresponding z score for  0.06 is -1.56 and that for 0.19 is -0.88 (From the z table)

The formula for z score is:

z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}

For z = -1.56, we get:

-1.56=\frac{x-74.2}{9.6}\\\\ x = 59

For z = -0.88, we get:

-0.88=\frac{x-74.2}{9.6}\\\\ x = 66

Therefore, a numerical limits for a D grade would be from 59 to 66 (rounded to nearest whole numbers)

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 cards and a total possible prize of 30 dollars, the probability for each one is 30/10=3 dollars. And since 5 out of the 10 are even, you can multiply the individual amount by 5 to get a total estimated payout of $15. Hope this helps!
