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.

How much simple interest would be paid on a loan of 10,170 at 7.64% for 272 days
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can compute the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple:

I = P*r*t

I = interest

P = loan amount

r = interest rate per period (period = days)

n = number of periods

P = 10,170

r = .0764/365

t = 272

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

500 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Carmen saved 592 pennies.

Her sister saved 128 pennies.

Together, they put 250 pennies in wrappers and took them to the bank

We need to find out the total number of pennies Carmen and her sister have left

So,

= 592 pennies + 128 pennies  - 250 pennies

= 470 pennies

= 500 pennies
