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}.

1: 4.5 ft by 6 ft
2: 27 sq. ft.



First, just multiply 3 and 4 by 1.5 to convert inches to feet using the scale. You end up with 3*1.5 and 4*1.5, which equals 4.5 and 6. So the dimensions are 4.5 feet by 6 feet.

Now, just multiply 4.5 by 6 to get 27 square feet.
