Answer: The zeros of the given equation are 2, -2 and -0.667. The y-intercept of the graph is f(0) = -8.

Explanation:

The given expression is,

f(x)=3x^3+2x^2-12x-8

To find zeros put f(x)=0

3x^3+2x^2-12x-8=0

This equation is satisfied by x=2, so (x-2) is the factor of the given equation. By synthetic division or long division we can find the remaining factor.

(x-2)(3x^2+8x+4)=0

Use Factoring method.

(x-2)(3x^2+6x+2x+4)=0

(x-2)(3x(x+2)+2(x+2)=0

(x-2)(3x+2)(x+2)=0

Equate each factor equal to zero by using zero product property.

So the zeros of the given equation are 2, -2 and -0.667.

To find the y-intercept of the graph, put x=0.

f(0)=3(0)^3+2(0)^2-12(0)-8

f(0)=-8

So the y-intercept of the graph is f(0) = -8.

Since the higher degree is 3 , which is odd and the coefficient of higher degree is positive, therefore the ead behavior is defined as,

f(x)\rightarrow \infty \text{ as }\rightarrow \infty\\f(x)\rightarrow -\infty \text{ as }\rightarrow -\infty

It means as x decreases unboundedly then the function decreases unboundedly. similarly x increases unboundedly then the function increases unboundedly.

5000 principal earning 4% compounded annually, 7 years
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, you want to know interest. I = prt is the formula. 'I' will be left blank b/c that's unknown. P is principal, 5000. R is rate, 4%, or 0.04 when turned into a decimal. T is time, 7 years. So now when using the formula, it will all become I = 5000(0.04)(7). What that means is you first multiply 5,000 by 0.04, getting 200. Then when you multiply 200 by 7, it's 1,400, which will leave you with I = 1,400. Interest is 1,400.

We want to find how many ounces of fertilzer we put for every 1 square meter

we have
(1/2oz)/(5/8m^2)
find x/1

(1/2)/(5/8)=x/1=x
remember, when dividing fractions, invert bottom one and multiply them
(1/2)/(5/8)=(1/2)(8/5)=8/10=4/5

answer is 4/5oz per square meter

Anna wants to spend less than $60 for the subscription. Which inequality could be used to determine the number of months (x) tha
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

xy < 60

Where x is the amount of subscription per month and y is the number of months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Anna wants to spend less than $60 for the subscription

Let the amount of subscription per month be x

Let the number of months which Anna can enjoy her music be y

The total amount of money spent by Anna on subscription = ( The amount of subscription per month )( Number of months )

Total amount = xy

Given total amount < 60

So xy < 60

Therefore the above is the inequality recquired.
