Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

-5, 0 (multiplicity 2), +4

Discussion:

Let f(x) = x^4 + x ^3 - 20 x^2

Factor x^2 from each term:

f(x) = x^2 ( x^2 + x - 20) = x^2 ( x +5) (x-4)

f = 0 when x = 0 (multiplicity 2) and x = -5 or x = 4

Regards,

MrB

4 - t = 3(t-1) - 5 A 3 B 6 C no solution D Identity

Ket [755]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4 - t = 3(t - 1) - 5 ← distribute and simplify right side

4 - t = 3t - 3 - 5

4 - t = 3t - 8 ( subtract 3t from both sides )

4 - 4t = - 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 4t = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

t = 3

Describe how the value of the independent variable is related to the value of the dependent variable. Is the relationship additi

n200080 [17]

The dependent value is determine by the value of the independent value. in other words, the dependent value is what you get when you take the independent value and substitute it in the original equation or situation. The relationship is multiplicative because you must first multiply the independent value in the equation where the x is before you can add or subtract to get your answer.
