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

Quadrilateral KMPT is dilated by a scale factor of 3/4 to create K'M'P'T'. The perimeter of quadrilateral KMPT is x units. What
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B) \frac{3}{4} x units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let quadrilateral KMPT be a rectangle with dimensions 12 units by 8 units. Then its perimeter would be equal to:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + b)

where: l is the length = 12 units and b is the breadth = 8 units. So that:

Perimeter of KMPT = 2 (12 + 8)

                               = 40 units

Dilating KMPT by a scale factor of \frac{3}{4} would create K'M'P'T' of dimensions; \frac{3}{4} × 12 units by \frac{3}{4} × 8 units. Thus, the dimensions of K'M'P'T' would be 9 units by 6 units.

Perimeter of K'M'P'T' = 2 (l + b)

                                  = 2(9 + 6)

                                  = 30 units

Comparing the perimeters of KMPT and K'M'P'T', the perimeter of K'M'P'T' would be  \frac{3}{4} × perimeter of KMPT.

Therefore, if the perimeter of KMPT is x units, then;

         perimeter of K'M'P'T' = \frac{3}{4} * x units

                                            = \frac{3}{4}x units

Find the length of the major arc in RED. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
scoray [572]

Answer:

52.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc length = 2πr(θ/360)

r = 10

θ = 300°

Arc length = 2π(10)(300/360) = 20π(0.8333) = 16.666π ≈ 52.36

Writing equations of lines
Valentin [98]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line is y=mx+c

choose any two points on straight line

for me I choose:(-3,11) and (3,-1)

use these two points to find gradient,m.

m= (-1-11)/(3-(-3))

m= -2

now, y=-2x+c

choose any point on the straight line

I choose point (3,-1)

sub the point into the equation to find c

-1=-2(3)+c

c=5

equation: y=-2x+5

The average weight of three dogs is 55 pounds, and the average weight of five cats is 9 pounds. What is the average weight, in p
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1

Average weight of 3 dogs = 55 pounds

Total weight of 3 dogs = 55 × 3

Total weight of 3 dogs = 165 pound

Statement 2

Average weight of 5 cats = 9 pounds

Total weight of 5 cats = 9 × 5

Total weight of 5 cats = 45 pounds

New Average = 165 + 45/8

New Average = 210/8

New Average = 26.25 pounds
