Answer:

The answer to your question is: This polynomial does not have root, it does not intercept the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

                                             2x² + 4x + 7

To determine the number of roots of this polinomial, just look at the higher power and that number will be the maximum possible number of roots.

In this exercise, the maximum power is 2, so this polynomial could have at most 2 roots.

b) Find the possible roots of the polynomial, which are multiples of 7

   Possible roots:  ±1, ±7

                                             2x² + 4x + 7

Use synthetic division to find the roots

                                   2     4     7       1

                                          2     6                              

                                   2     6    13                   +1 is not a root

                   

                                   2    4     7        -1

                                        -2    -2                  

                                   2    2    5                    -1 is not a root

                                  2     4     7         7

                                         14   126                  

                                  2     18  133                  +7 is not a root

                                  2     4     7        -7

                                        -14   70                  

                                  2    -10   -77              -7 is not a root

Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. <br><br> -20, -16, -12, -8, .
ollegr [7]
We are given with the sequence -20, -16, -12, -8. From this sequence, we can see that the arithmetic difference is +4, from -(-20 + 16). hence following the arithmetic formula of an = a1 + d *(n-1). Substituting, an = -20 + 4 *(n-1) where n is an integer

Without subtracting 8.5 - 4.64, determine what digit will be in the hundredths place. Explain
murzikaleks [220]
8.5 is the same as 8.50, right? So just take the digit in the hundredth place of both decimals and subtract. You'd be doing 0-4 so you can go ahead and borrow a number to make 10-4, which equals 6. So without subtracting 8.5 and 4.64, you can determine that 6 will be in the hundredth place. Hope this helps!

Consider the following sequence
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a₇ =  2.375

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = \frac{-76}{152} = \frac{38}{-76} = \frac{-19}{38} = - \frac{1}{2}

This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a₁ = 152 and r = - \frac{1}{2} , then

a_{n} = 152 (-\frac{1}{2}) ^{n-1} , so

a₇ = 152 (-\frac{1}{2}) ^{6} = 152 × \frac{1}{64} = 2.375
