Find the zeros of the polynomial function and state the multiplicity of each.

Mathematics

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

a) 8, multiplicity 2; 8, multiplicity 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a is a zero of the polynomial f(x) if f(a)=0 and has multiplicity n if the termn (x-a) is n times in the factorization of f(x).

We have that

f(x)=3(x + 8)^2(x - 8)^3

Observe that

1. f(-8)=3(-8 + 8)^2(-8 - 8)^3=3*0*(-16)^3=0

and (x+8) appear two times in the factorization of f(x). Then -8 is a zero of f(x) with multiplicity 2.

2. f(8)=3(8 + 8)^2(8 - 8)^3=3*16^2*0^3=0

and and (x - 8) appear three times in the factorization of f(x). Then 8 is a zero of f(x) with multiplicity 3.

Since f(x) has degree 5 and the sum of the multiplicities is 5 then f(x) hasn't more zeros.

AD = 42-x

The bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the adjacent sides  ⇒
AB/BC = AD/DC
36/27 = (42-x)/x
36x = 27(42-x)
36x = 1134 - 27x
36x + 27x = 1134
63x = 1134
x = 1134/63
x = 18

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

2019.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for the years from 2002 and projected to 2024, the national health care expenditures H, in billions of dollars, can be modeled by H = 1,500e^{0.053t} where t is the number of years past 2000.

To find the year in which national health care expenditures expected to reach $4.0 trillion (that is, $4,000 billion), we will substitute H=4,000 in our given formula and solve for t as:

4,000= 1,500e^{0.053t}

\frac{4,000}{1,500}=\frac{ 1,500e^{0.053t}}{1,500}

\frac{8}{3}=e^{0.053t}

e^{0.053t}=\frac{8}{3}

Take natural log of both sides:

\text{ln}(e^{0.053t})=\text{ln}(\frac{8}{3})

0.053t\cdot \text{ln}(e)=\text{ln}(\frac{8}{3})

0.053t\cdot (1)=0.9808292530117262

\frac{0.053t}{0.053}=\frac{0.9808292530117262}{0.053}

t=18.506212320

So in the 18.5 years after 2000 the expenditure will reach 4 trillion.

2000+18.5=2018.5

Therefore, in year 2019 national health care expenditures are expected to reach $4.0 trillion.

13. Which system of inequalities has no solution?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have y < 2x - 4 and y > 2x + 1.

=> 2x - 4 > 2x + 1

=> -4 > 1

Since this inequality is false for all real values of x, there is no solution for the system of inequalities.
