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.

In a reapeating musical pattern, there are 56 beats in 7 measures
anygoal [31]

Answer:

You will need to find the number of measures per beat (it will be a fraction): 7/56=0.125 Then, you multiply that by 104: 0.125x104=13 This means that there will be 13 measures after 104 beats.

Step-by-step explanation:

104 beats is multiplied with the decimal of the fraction of beats and measures which means it has been used with whole numbers

0.125 is not a whole number we know x 100 is 12.5 and we know x4 is 0.5

When we work with the first 4 multiples we can usually spot whether it would take more than 4 to round figure it to 0.5 to add to 12.5

There are 3 digits as decimals and x 100 quantifies.  just by adding 4 to x100 to each of them until a whole number found 12.5 + 0.5 = whole number = 13.

Lets work backwards, he had $5 after it all, and spent $1.25 on a snack, so we add that to the remainder, which is $6.25. then he spent half of that on whatever stuff he likes, so add $6.25 and $6.25, which is $12.50
