The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
A.) Integers are positive and negative counting numbers. So, in order to find the integer coefficients, round off the coefficients in the equation to the nearest whole number. The function for g(x) is:
g(x) = 3x²+3x
B.) Substitute x=4 to the two functions.
f(x) = 2.912345x²<span>+3.131579x-0.099999
</span>f(4) = 2.912345(4)²+3.131579(4)-0.099999
f(4) = 59.023837
g(x) = 3x²+3x
g(4) = 3(4)²+3(4)
g(4) = 60
C.) The percentage error is equal to:
Percentage error = |g(4) - f(4)|/f(4) * 100
Percentage error = |60 - 59.023837|/59.023837 * 100
Percentage error = 1.65%
D.) If x is a large number, for example x=10 or x=20, then g(x) would be an overestimate. This is because the value of x is raised to the power of 2. So, as the x increases, the corresponding function would increase exponentially. Even at x=4, g(x) is already an overestimate. What more for larger values of x? That means that the gap from the true answer f(x) would increase.
Answer:
The circle has an area of about 1385 square mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that circles have an area that can be found with the following formula:
where r is the radius of the circle.
Now, focus your eyes on the circle. We are shown that the diameter of this circle is 42 mm, but we only want the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 21 mm. Now, we can solve for the area of the circle.
So, to the nearest whole number, the area of the circle is 1385 square mm.
