Is the binomial a factor of the polynomial nominal function?

Sedbober [7]

The factors for given equation f(x)= $x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75$ .

(x-1) - No
(x-3) - No
(x+3) - Yes
(x-5) - Yes
(x+5) - Yes

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

The given equation is f(x)= $x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75$ .

Add 0 at the end of the equation.

$x^{3} +3x^{2} -25x-75$ = 0.

Let us group the given equation,

$(x^{3} +3x^{2}) -(25x-75)$ =0.

⇒ Group 1: $x^{3} +3x^{2}$ .

Group 2: $- 25x +75$ .

Pull out factor from each group,

⇒ Group 1: $(x+3)(x^{2})$ .

Group 2: (x+3) (-25).

Join the two group since both (x+3) is common in both groups.

$(x+3)(x^{2} -25)$ =0.

One of the factor is (x+3).

Other factors are solved by the formula, $a^{2}-b^{2} = (a+b) (a-b)$ .

$(x+3)(x^{2} -25)$ = (x+5) (x-5) .

The other factors are (x+5) and (x-5).

In January. The temperature in Fargo, North Dakota is -2 F. On the same day, the temperature in Cheyenne, Wyoming was 1 F. Write

zaharov [31]

Answer:

(a) $1 > -2$ or $-2 < 1$

(b) $2 > 1$ or $1 < 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$N = -2F$ --- North Dakota

$C = 1F$ --- Cheyenne, Wyoming

Solving (a): Inequality to compare both temperatures

From the given temperatures, we can conclude that:

$C > N$ or $N < C$

Because

$1 > -2$ i.e. 1 is greater than -2

or

$-2 < 1$ i.e. -2 is less than 1

Solving (b): Inequality to compare the absolute values of the temperatures

We have:

$N = -2F$

$C = 1F$

The absolute values are:

$|N| = |-2|$

$|N| =2$

$|C| = |1|$

$|C| = 1$

By comparison:

$|N| > |C|$ or $|C| < |N|$

Because

$2 > 1$ i.e. 2 is greater than 1

or

$1 < 2$ i.e. 1 is less than 2

The scatter plot shows a correlation between the years and the rainfall in centimeters in Tennessee.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>actual values</u> are shown on the given graph as <u>blue points</u>.

The <u>line of regression</u> is shown on the given graph as the <u>red line</u>.

From inspection of the graph, in the year 2000 the actual rainfall was 43 cm, shown by point (2000, 43). It appears that the regression line is at y = 50 when x is the year 2000.

⇒ Difference = 50 - 43 = 7 cm

<u>In 2000, the actual rainfall was </u><u>7</u><u> centimeters below what the model predicts</u>.

From inspection of the graph, in the year 2003 the actual rainfall was 44 cm, shown by point (2003, 40). It appears that the regression line is at y = 40 when x is the year 2003.

⇒ Difference = 44 - 40 = 4 cm

<u>In 2003, the actual rainfall was </u><u>4</u><u> centimeters above what the model predicts.</u>

A line passes through the given points. write an equation for the line in point-slope form. then rewrite the equation in slope i

rodikova [14]

#1 first we need to solve for slope which is y2-y1/x2-x1

plug in the coordinates and get 1-6/5-(-2) which makes our slope -5/7

then use the equation for point slope form which is:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

then plug in one of the coordinates, I'll use (-2,6), now we have

y-6=-5/7(x+2)

now to make this slope intercept, we just have to solve

y-6=-5/7x-10/7

y=-5/7x+4 4/7

repeat all these steps for 2 and 3

#2: slope = -13/5

plug it in to point slope and get: y+8=-13/5(x-3)

slope intercept:

y+8= -13/5x + 39/5

y= -13/5x -1/5

#3: slope = 3/4

point slope form: y-2=3/4(x-3)

slope intercept: y-2=3/4x-9/4 --> y=3/4x-1/4
