Answer:

a) zeros of the function are x = 1 and, x = -1

b) zeros of the function are x = 2 and, x = 4

c) zeros of the function are x = \frac{3}{2}

d) zeros of the function are x = \frac{-4}{3}  and, x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of the function are the values of the variable that will lead to the result of the equation being zero.

Thus,

a) f(x)= (x +1)(x − 1)(x² +1)

now,

for the (x +1)(x − 1)(x² +1) = 0

the condition that must be followed is

(x +1) = 0 ..........(1)

or

(x − 1) = 0 ..........(2)

or

(x² +1) = 0 ...........(3)

considering the equation 1, we have

(x +1) = 0

or

x = -1

for

(x − 1) = 0

x = 1

and,

for (x² +1) = 0

or

x² = -1

or

x = √(-1)         (neglected as it is a imaginary root)

Thus,

zeros of the function are x = 1 and, x = -1

b) g(x) = (x − 4)³(x − 2)⁸

now,

for the (x − 4)³(x − 2)⁸ = 0

the condition that must be followed is

(x − 4)³ = 0 ..........(1)

or

(x − 2)⁸ = 0 ..........(2)

considering the equation 1, we have

(x − 4)³ = 0

or

x -4 = 0

or

x = 4

and,

for (x − 2)⁸ = 0

or

x - 2 = 0

or

x = 2        

Thus,

zeros of the function are x = 2 and, x = 4

c) h(x) = (2x − 3)⁵

now,

for the (2x − 3)⁵ = 0

the condition that must be followed is

(2x − 3)⁵ = 0

or

2x - 3 = 0

or

2x = 3

or

x = \frac{3}{2}

Thus,

zeros of the function are x = \frac{3}{2}

d)   k(x) =(3x +4)¹⁰⁰(x − 17)⁴

now,

for the (3x +4)¹⁰⁰(x − 17)⁴ = 0

the condition that must be followed is

(3x +4)¹⁰⁰ = 0 ..........(1)

or

(x − 17)⁴ = 0 ..........(2)

considering the equation 1, we have

(3x +4)¹⁰⁰ = 0

or

(3x +4) = 0

or

3x = -4

or

x = \frac{-4}{3}

and,

for (x − 17)⁴ = 0

or

x - 17 = 0

or

x = 17        

Thus,

zeros of the function are x = \frac{-4}{3}  and, x = 17

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 2(x + 1) greater than or equal to 20?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

option C

A number line with a closed circle on  9 and shading to the left

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2(x+1)\geq 20

solve for x

2x+2\geq 20

Subtract 2 both sides

2x+2-2\geq 20-2

2x\geq 18

Divide by 2 both sides

x\geq 9 --------> is equivalent to 9 \leq x

The solution is the interval--------> [9,∞)

All real numbers greater than or equal to 9

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

  • 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

Connecting any point of original figure with the same of the image

For example point C with C'

The line goes through the origin (0, 0)

<u>And the coordinates changed as:</u>

  • (x, y) → (-x, -y)

It means the rotation is 180°

The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp. Jackie wants to manipulate the
Sauron [17]

The function f(x) = 4(4)x represents the growth of a fly population every year in a remote swamp.

calculates three times a year, not just once a year.

f(x)= 4(4)^x

3 times a year

so x becomes 3x

f(x)= 4(1+r)^{3x}

4(4)^x=4(1+r)^{3x}

Take log on both sides

log(4)^x=log(1+r)^{3x}

log(4)^x=log(1+r)^{3x}

Use log property and move exponent before log

xlog(4)=3xlog(1+r)}

Divide both sides by x

log 4 = 3 log(1+r)

Solve for '1+r'

log 4 = log(1+r)^3

Remove log from both sides

4 = (1+r)^3

take cube root on both sides

1.584740= 1+r

1+r = 1.59

f(x)= 4(1+r)^{3x}

so equation becomes

f(x)= 4(1.59)^{3x}

1+r = 1.59

subtract 1 from both sides

So r= 59 = 59%

So growth factor is 59%

Answer is option C
