Answer:
So f(x) has no real greater than 8. Step - by - step explanation is shown in the attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f ( x) be a polynomial with real coefficients and with a positive lending coefficient.
If f(x) is divided by x-c and
a) if c>0 and all number in the bottom row of the synthetic division are non negative , then f(x) has no zero greater than c.
b ) if c<0 and the number in the bottom row of the synthetic division alternate in sign then f (x) has no zero less than c
As shown in the figure
Since the number in the bottom row of the synthetic division alternate in sign
So f(x) has no real greater than 8
Answer:
a₁ = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then
a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
The sum to n terms of an AP is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
Given = 84 , then
(2a₁ + 6d) = 84
3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Thus we have 2 equations
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d
- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d
- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a₁ = - 24
