Which of the following sets contains all roots of the polynomial f(x)=2x^3+3x^2-3x-2?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x³ + 3x² - 3x - 2

Note that

f(1) = 2 + 3 - 3 - 2 = 0 , thus

(x - 1) is a factor

Dividing f(x) by (x - 1) gives

f(x) = (x - 1)(2x² + 5x + 2) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(2x + 1)

To find the roots equate f(x) to zero, that is

(x - 1)(x + 2)(2x + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{2}

The solution set is therefore

{ - 2, - \frac{1}{2}, 1 } → C

Question:70% of x is 63. 1.Write an equation that shows the relationship of 70%, x, and 63. 2. Use your equation to find x. Show
a_sh-v [17]

"x" represents an unknown number, we know that 70% of x equals 63.

To calculate the percentage of a number you have to multiply the said number by the percentage, in this case, 70%, and divide the result by 100:

So the 70% of x can be calculated as:

\frac{70\cdot x}{100}=63

You can simplify this expression by solving the division

\begin{gathered} \frac{70}{100}x=63 \\ \frac{7}{10}x=63 \\ 0.7x=63 \end{gathered}

Then the expression that shows you the relationship is

0.7x=63

Using this expression you can determine the value of x, to do so you have to divide both sides of the equal sign by 0.7

\begin{gathered} \frac{0.7x}{0.7}=\frac{63}{0.7} \\ x=90 \end{gathered}

The value of x is 90

A system of linear inequalities is shown above. ( in the picture )
astraxan [27]

Answer:

C. (0, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

- 2x - 3 \leqslant y

y - 1 \:  <  \:  \frac{1}{2} x

The point that satisfies both inequalities is the solution to the system.

When x=0 and y=-3.

We substitute into the first inequality to get:

- 2(0) - 3 \leqslant  - 3 \\  - 3 \leqslant  - 3...true

We again substitute into the second inequality to get:

- 3- 1 \:  <  \:  \frac{1}{2} (0) \\  - 4 \:  <  \: 0....true

The point (0,-3) is a solution to the system of inequalities.

Please help I'm struggling so bad right now
Over [174]

Answer:

y = m x + b     is the standard form of a straight line

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (10 - (-8)) / (-3 - 0) = 18 / -3 = -6

When x = 0 y = b from the equation for a line

y = - 8

So our equation is  

y = -6 x - 8

As a check let x = -2 then

y = (-6 * -2) - 8 = 12 - 8 = 4

Check on the graph to verify that this equation holds

There are 12 team members. They each ate 3 slices of pizza. Each pizza was cut into 8 slices. What fraction of the pizza did the
ICE Princess25 [194]
First I'd assume each "pizza" refers to the number of pizza pies. Each pizza pie includes 8 slices. Since there are 12 team members, and each at three, therefore 36 slices total were eaten by each of the 12 team members (12x3). Since you know that 8 slices make up a pizza pie, how many pies do you need to have at least 36 slices? The answer is 5 pies (or 40 slices). So the team ate 36/40 slices or 9/10 pizzas.
