Answer: x - 12 is not a factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16

To know which of the following is a factor , we continue to find the value of x and substitute into the equation and see the one that gives zero. The one that gives zero is the factor.

(a) x + 2

If x + 2 = 0

x = -2, now substitute for x in the equation and find out if it will be zero.

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16 = (-2)³ - 4(-2)² - 4(-2) + 16.

= -8 - 16 + 8 + 16

= 0.

Therefore, x + 2 is a factor.

(b) x - 12

If x - 12 = 0, then x = 12

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16

(12)³ - 4(12)² - 4(12) + 16

1728 - 576 - 48 + 16

= 1,120 , not a factor.

(c) x - 2

If x - 2 = 0, then x = 2

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16

(2)³ - 4(2)² - 4(2) + 16

8 - 16 - 8 + 16

= 0, Therefore, x - 2 is a factor.

(d) x - 4

If x - 4 = 0, x = 4

x³ - 4x² - 4x + 16

(4)³ - 4(4)² - 4(4) + 16

48 - 48 - 16 + 16

= 0,therefore, x - 4 is also a factor.

At what values of x does f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 -4x+1 satisfy the mean value theorwm on [0,1]
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

x=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

A function f is given as

f(x) = x^3-2x^2-4x+1 in the interval  [0,1]

This function f being an algebraic polynomial is continuous in the interval [0,1] and also f is differntiable in the open interval (0,1)

Hence mean value theorem applies for f in the given interval

f(1) = 1-2-4+1 = -4\\f(0) = 1

The value

\frac{f(1)-f(0)}{1-0} =\frac{-4-1}{1} =-5

Find derivative for f

f'(x) = 3x^2-4x-4

Equate this to -5 to check mean value theorem

3x^2-4x-4=-5\\3x^2-4x+1=0\\\\(x-1)(3x-1) =0\\x= 1/3 : x = 1

We find that 1/3 lies inside the interval (0,1)

I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out the formula to solve this problem.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:Red price hast he least least cost per gram of apple.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) considering Royal Gala, 75 gram apple cost $0.41

The cost per gram is 0.41/75 = $0.0055

2) considering Honey crisp, 93 gram apple cost $0.82

The cost per gram is 0.82/93 = $0.0088

3) considering Red Prince, 81 gram apple cost $0.36

The cost per gram is 0.36/81 = $0.0044

Since $0.0044 per gram is the lowest of the three, then the type of apple with the least cost per gram is Red prince.
