Answer:  The real zeroes of the function f(x) are 0,~2,~3,~-\dfrac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the real numbers that are zeroes of the following functions :

f(x)=2x^4-9x^3+7x^2+6x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

the zeroes of a polynomial function y = p(x) are given by p(x) = 0.

So, the zeroes of the given polynomial (i) are

f(x)=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2x^4-9x^3+7x^2+6x=0\\\\\Rightarrow x(2x^3-9x^2+7x+6)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=0,~~2x^3-9x^2+7x+6=0.

So, one of the real zeroes of f(x) is x = 0 and the other zeroes are given by 2x^3-9x^2+7x+6=0.

<em><u>Factor theorem :</u></em>  If at x = a, the value of a function p(x) is zero, then (x-a) is a factor of p(x).

Let us consider that

g(x)=2x^3-9x^2+7x+6.

At x = 1, we have

g(x)=2\times1^4-9\times1^3+7\times1^2+6\times1=2-9+7+6=6\neq0.

At x = 2, we have

g(x)=2\times1^3-9\times2^2+7\times2+6=8-36+14+6=0.

So, (x-2) is a factor of g(x).

Therefore, we get

g(x)\\\\=2x^3-9x^2+7x+6\\\\=2x^2(x-2)-5x(x-2)-3(x-2)\\\\=(x-2)(2x^2-5x-3)\\\\=(x-2)(2x^2-6x+x-3)\\\\=(x-2)(2x+1)(x-3).

That is, the other two zeroes are given by

2x+1=0,~~~~~x-3=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{1}{2},3.

Since all the four zeroes are real, so all the real zeroes of f(x) are 0,~2,~3,~-\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the real zeroes of the function f(x) are 0,~2,~3,~-\dfrac{1}{2}.

Solve for X, please show work!
Molodets [167]

Answer:

the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x - 2| > 8 is equivalent to the following set of inequalities:

1) 3x - 2 > 8

and

2) -(3x - 2) > 8

In case 1, above, add 2 to both sides, obtaining 3x > 10, or x > 10/3.

In case 2, above, carry out the indicated multiplication first:

-3x + 2 > 8.  Next, subtract 2 from both sides:  -3x > 6.

Next, divide both sides by -3, remembering to reverse the direction of the inequality sign:  x < -2.

Thus, the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}

Answer:

100 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

at first i thought it was a right angle but i looked at the other shape and seen it was a 80 degree angle for B, then i seen C on the same shape, so that just proved what i thought that W was on the other shape because its not a 90 degree right angle, its a bigger angle not as big as C on the other shape, but not a 90 degree angle either, so its 100 degree angle.
