Which of the following sets contains all roots of the polynomial f(x)=2x^3+3x^2-3x-2?
1 answer:
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 = -
The solution set is therefore
{ - 2, - , 1 } → C

Answer:
Sally is 10 miles
The coordinate ofthe deli is (1, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
✍️Coordinate of Sally = (-3, 2)
Coordinate of Ocean Front = (5, -4)
The distance of Sally to Ocean Front Housing Complex = the distance between point (-3, 2) and (5, -4).
Use the distance formula, , to calculate the distance between (-3, 2) and (5, -4):
✅The distance of Sally is 10 miles
✍️the coordinate of Deli would be half the distance between Sally and Ocean Front.
Therefore, use the midpoint formula to calculate the coordinate of the midpoint between Sally (-3, 2) and Ocean Front (5, -4).
Midpoint of (-3, 2) and (5, -4).
Plug in the values
✅The coordinate ofthe deli is (1, -1)
