Answer:  a) zeros: x = {0, 4, -2}

               b) as x → ∞,  y → ∞

                   as x → -∞,  y → ∞

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

I think you mean (a) find the zeros and (b) describe the end behavior

(a) Find the zeros by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x:

      x (x - 4) (x + 2)⁴ = 0

  • x = 0   Multiplicity of 1  --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
  • x = 4  Multiplicity of 1  --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
  • x = -2 <u>Multiplicity of 4 </u> --> even multiplicity so it touches the x-axis

                       Degree  =  6

(b) End behavior is determined by the following two criteria:

  1. Sign of Leading Coefficient (Right side): Positive is ↑, Negative is ↓
  2. Degree (Left side): Even is same direction as right side, Odd is opposite direction of right side

Sign of the leading coefficient is Positive so right side goes UP

                                                                        as x → ∞,  y → ∞

Degree of 6 is Even so Left side is the same direction as right (UP)

                                                                        as x → -∞,  y → ∞

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Equation: 682 = 40x
Slope = 40 (or 40/1)
Y-intercept = 0

In this case,

y = the total
x = the amount of minutes
y-intercept = 0, since there isn’t a b in the equation.
slope = 40, because y = mx + b is 682 = 40x

This should be correct, unless there is missing information in the question.

4. To solve this problem, we divide the two expressions step by step:

\frac{x+2}{x-1}* \frac{x^{2}+4x-5 }{x+4}
Here we have inverted the second term since division is just multiplying the inverse of the term.

\frac{x+2}{x-1}* \frac{(x+5)(x-1)}{x+4}
In this step we factor out the quadratic equation.


\frac{x+2}{1}* \frac{(x+5)}{x+4}
Then, we cancel out the like term which is x-1.

We then solve for the final combined expression:
\frac{(x+2)(x+5)}{(x+4)}

For the restrictions, we just need to prevent the denominators of the two original terms to reach zero since this would make the expression undefined:

x-1\neq0
x+5\neq0
x+4\neq0

Therefore, x should not be equal to 1, -5, or -4.

Comparing these to the choices, we can tell the correct answer.

ANSWER: \frac{(x+2)(x+5)}{(x+4)}; x\neq1,-4,-5

5. To get the ratio of the volume of the candle to its surface area, we simply divide the two terms with the volume on the numerator and the surface area on the denominator:

\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \pi  r^{2}h }{ \pi  r^{2}+ \pi r \sqrt{ r^{2}  +h^{2} }  }

We can simplify this expression by factoring out the denominator and cancelling like terms.

\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h }{ \pi r(r+ \sqrt{ r^{2} +h^{2} } )}
\frac{ rh }{ 3(r+ \sqrt{ r^{2} +h^{2} } )}
\frac{ rh }{ 3r+ 3\sqrt{ r^{2} +h^{2} } }

We then rationalize the denominator:

\frac{rh}{3r+3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}  * \frac{3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}{3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}
\frac{rh(3r-3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{(3r)^{2}-(3 \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })^{2}}}=\frac{3 r^{2}h -3rh \sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} }}{9r^{2} -9 (r^{2} + h^{2} )}=\frac{3rh(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{9[r^{2} -(r^{2} + h^{2} )]}=\frac{rh(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + h^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(r^{2} + h^{2} )]}

Since the height is equal to the length of the radius, we can replace h with r and further simplify the expression:

\frac{r*r(r -\sqrt{ r^{2} + r^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(r^{2} + r^{2} )]}=\frac{ r^{2} (r -\sqrt{2 r^{2} })}{3[r^{2} -(2r^{2} )]}=\frac{ r^{2} (r -r\sqrt{2 })}{-3r^{2} }=\frac{r -r\sqrt{2 }}{-3 }=\frac{r(1 -\sqrt{2 })}{-3 }

By examining the choices, we can see one option similar to the answer.

ANSWER: \frac{r(1 -\sqrt{2 })}{-3 }
