The number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is 3
<h3>How to determine the number of real zeros?</h3>
The equation of the function is given as:
f(x) = x^3 + 4x^2 + x - 6
Expand the function
f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 - x^2 + 6x - 5x - 6
Reorder the terms of the function
f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x - x^2 - 5x - 6
Factor the expression
f(x) = x(x^2 + 5x + 6) -1(x^2 + 5x + 6)
Factor out x -1
f(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 6)(x -1)
Expand
f(x) = (x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x -1)
Factorize
f(x) = [x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)](x - 1)
Factor out x + 2
f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x- 1)
The function has been completely factored;
And it has 3 linear factors
Hence, the number of real zeros of the function f(x) = x3 + 4x2 + x − 6 is 3

Answer:
A) 12 pieces
B) the meaning of the quotient is that Tara got 12 pieces of length 2/5 ft from her 4 4/5 ft rope
Step-by-step explanation:
A) (4 4/5)/(2/5) = (24/5)/(2/5) = 24/2 = 12
Tara can cut 12 pieces from the rope.
__
B) The quotient is the answer to the question. The meaning of it is that Tara can get 12 pieces from the rope, in answer to the question, "how many pieces can Tara cut?"
It doesn't matter whether the numbers are whole numbers, decimals, fractions, or even irrational numbers. The whole is the sum of the parts, so the number of parts is equal to the size of the whole divided by the size of a part.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
This sort of question seems to appear a lot in modern "common core" math materials. They tell you "x means <such and such>", and then they ask you, "What is the meaning of x?" It seems to be a reading comprehension exercise. Of course, the meaning of x is <such and such>, just as the problem statement tells you.
