Answer:

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Length of a standard jewel case is 7cm more than its width.

Let the length be represented by L and the width be represented by W, this means that:

L = 7 + W

The area of the rectangular top of the case is 408cm². The area od a rectangle is given as:

A = L * W

Since L = 7 + W:

A = (7 + W) * W = 7W + W²

The area is 408 cm², hence:

408 = 7W + W²

Solving this as a quadratic equation:

=> W² + 7W - 408 = 0

W² + 24W - 17W - 408 = 0

W(W + 24) - 17(W + 24) = 0

(W - 17) (W + 24) = 0

=> W = 17cm or -24 cm

Since width cannot be negative, the width of the case is 17 cm.

Hence, the length, L, is:

L = 7 + 17 = 24cm.

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

We know the first term is 16, because f(1) = 16. Next, we can use the recursive rule provided. f(3)=1/2*f(3-1). This gives us f(3)=1/2*f(2). We know f(2) is 8. We know have f(3)=1/2*8. This is 4.

The answer is 16, 4.

State how many imaginary and real zeros the function has.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

B. 4 imaginary; 1 real

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial:

x^5 + 7*x^4 + 2*x^3 + 14*x^2 + x + 7

it can be reordered as follows

(x^5 + 2*x^3 + x ) + (7*x^4  + 14*x^2 + 7)

Taking greatest common factor at each parenthesis

x*(x^4 + 2*x^2 + 1) + 7*(x^4  + 2*x^2 + 1)

Taking again the greatest common factor

(x + 7)*(x^4 + 2*x^2 + 1)

Replacing x^2 = y in the second parenthesis

(x + 7)*(y^2 + 2*y + 1)

(x + 7)*(y + 1)^2

Coming back to x variable

(x + 7)*(x^2 + 1)^2

There are two options to find the roots

(x + 7) = 0

or

(x^2 + 1)^2 = 0 which is the same that (x^2 + 1) = 0

In the former case, x = -7 is the real root.  In the latter, (x^2 + 1) = 0 has no real solution. Therefore, there is only 1 real root in the polynomial.
