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

A cylindrical oil drum has a diameter of 2 feet and a height of 3 feet what is the volume of the oil drum?
NikAS [45]
We know, Volume of a Cylinder = πr²h

Here, r = 2/2 = 1 ft
h = 3 ft

Substitute their values, 
v = 3.14 * (1)² * 3
v = 9.42 ft³

In short, Your Answer would be: 9.42 Ft³

Hope this helps!
