Answer:
8x⁴ - 7x³ + 12x
Step-by-step explanation:
=(4x⁴ + 7x + 5x³) + (8x⁴ + 6x³ - 3x)- (4x⁴ + 4x³ - 8x)
=4x⁴ + 7x + 5x³ + 8x⁴ + 6x³ - 3x - 4x⁴ - 4x³ + 8x
=4x⁴ + 8x⁴ - 4x⁴+ <em>5x³ + 6x³ - 4x³</em> + <u>7x - 3x + 8x</u>
=8x⁴ + 7x³ + 12x
I believe the correct answer would be B. 88 Degrees, because 92 + 88 = 180. Hope this helped!

Answer:
{1, (-1±√17)/2}
Step-by-step explanation:
There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.
___
Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.
It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.
__
Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.
The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:
a=1, b=1, c=-4
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2
x = (-1 ±√17)2
The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.
_____
The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.
__
The given expression factors as ...
4(x -1)(x² +x -4)
Answer:
Negative: (-∞,-3] and [1/2,-∞)
Positive: [-3,1/2]
Step-by-step explanation:
The derivative is the instantaneous rate of change at any given point for a function. Given this we know that anywhere the function is in the positive or negative direction, the derivative will also be in the positive or negative direction. We also know that wherever there is a peak or a trough, there will be no slope and it signifies a change in direction. For this function, this means the direction changes at -3 and 1/2.
