Answer:

x-intercepts = 1, 2, and 3 and y-intercept = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 − 6x^2 + 11x − 6 is a cubic polynomial, which should have a maximum of 3 roots/factors. One of the factor is given, which is (x-3). In order to find the other factors, the method of synthetic division will be used:

Column 1       2      3      4      5

     3    |         1      -6     11     -6    (Row 1)

______|________3__-9___6   (Row 2)

           |         1      -3      2      0    (Row 3)

The method requires to write the coefficients of all the powers in the Row 1 on the right hand side of the table. Put the factor x=3 on the left hand side of the table (Row 1 Column 1). The first step involves the second column elements to be added. Since there is only 1, thus there will be 1 below the line. Next step involves multiplying 1 with the factor 3 (which is 3) and this will be the element for row 2 column 3. The add the elements of the column 3. The answer comes out to be -3. Repeat the above steps for the columns 4 and 5. The sum of the column 5 (the last column) should be 0, which is the case. The elements of the last row are actually the coefficients of the quadratic equation which is resultant from dividing f(x) by (x-3). Thus:

x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0.

Using mid-term breaking:

x^2 - 2x - x + 2 = 0.

x(x-2) - 1(x-2) = 0.

(x-1)*(x-2) = 0

x-1 = 0 or x-2 = 0. This implies that x = 1 and 2 (the remaining x-intercepts).

For y-intercept, simply calculate f(0).

f(0) = 0^3 − 6(0^2) + 11(0) − 6 = -6.

Therefore, x-intercepts = 1, 2, and 3 and y-intercept = -6

If you can walk 3 1/3 miles in an hour, how many miles can you walk in 30 minutes, given the
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

d = 1.67 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a person,  s=3\dfrac{1}{3}\ mph

We need to find how many miles can you walk in 30 minutes, given the  same pace.

30 minutes = 0.5 h

3\dfrac{1}{3}\ mph = \dfrac{10}{3}\ mph

Speed = distance/time

d=v\times t\\\\d=\dfrac{10}{3}\ mph\times 0.5\ h\\\\d=1.67\ miles

So, the person will cover a distance of 1.67 miles

Describe how both the Rational Root Theorem and Descartes’ Rules of Signs help you to find the zeros of a polynomial? Give me an
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational Root Theorem: If the polynomial

P(x) = a n x n + a n – 1 x n – 1 + ... + a 2 x 2 + a 1 x + a 0

has any rational roots, then they must be of the form of (factors of a0/factors of an).

Example: F(x) = 4x² + 5x +2

If this polynomial has any rational roots, then they must be (factors of 2)/(factors of 4), so (±1, ±2)/(±1, ±2, ±4). So if this polynomial has any rational roots, they must be either: ±1, ±1/2, ±1/4, or ±2. Notice that this polynomial doesn't have to have any rational roots, but if it does, then the roots must fit the Rational Root Theorem.

Descartes' Rules of Signs:

a). In a polynomial, how many time the sign changes is how many positive roots the polynomial will have.

Example: 5x³ + 6x² - 2x - 1

In this expression, the sign only changed once, between 6x² and 2x, so it will only have one positive root.

Example 2: 6x³ - 4x² + x - 6

In this expression, the sign changed 3 times (remember there is a invisible "+" sign before the 6x³), so it will have 3 positive roots.

b). In a polynomial, if you plug in "-x" for all "x", then how many times the new polynomial changes sign is how many negative roots the old polynomial have.

Example: 5x³ + 6x² - 2x - 1.

If we plug in "-x" for all "x", then we get 5(-x)³ + 6(-x)² - 2(-x) -1, which simplifies to -5x³ + 6x² + 2x -1. In this new expression, the sign changed twice, so we have two negative roots for the expression. Notice how we got one positive root the first time and two negative roots the second time, and 1 + 2 = 3. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that for a nth degree polynomial, it will have n complex roots. The polynomial we worked with was a 3rd degree polynomial, and we got 1 + 2 = 3 roots in the end.
