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.

X:y=5:3 and x+y=56 work out the value of x-y
Vladimir79 [104]

x - y = 14

given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3

then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as

5x + 3x = 56

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21

Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

Compute using long division: 1,234÷68
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Quotient = 18

Remainder = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1234/68

=> 68 x 1 = 68

=> 123 - 68 = 55

=> Take the 4 down

=> 554/68

=> 68 x 8 = 544

=> 554 - 544  = 10

So, the quotient = 18.

Remainder = 10

Truer or false? subtracting 7 from the parent linear function results in a reflection in the x-axis
beks73 [17]

The parent linear function is y = x

A reflection in the x-axis is denoted by - f(x), so the answer is false
