Answer:

-1, 4+i, 4-i

Step-by-step explanation:

x^4- 6x^3 + 2x^2 + 26x + 17

Using the rational root theorem

we see if 1, -1, -17 or 17 are roots

Check and see if 1 is a root

1^4- 6(1^3) + 2(1^2) + 26(1) + 17=0

1-6+2+26+17 does not equal 0  1 is not a root

-1

1^4- 6(-1^3) + 2(1^2) + 26(-1) + 17=0

1 +6 +2 -26+17 = 0

-1 is a root

Factor out (x+1)

(x+1) ( x^3-7x^2+9x+17)

Using the rational root theorem again on x^3-7x^2+9x+17

Checking -1

-1 -7 -9 +17=0

-1 is a root

(x+1) (x+1) (x^2-8x+17)

Using the quadratic on the last

8 ±sqrt(8^2 - 4(1)17)

--------------------------------

    2

Answer:

x = -1, 4 + i, 4 - i

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible rational roots are:

+/- 1, +/- 17

Using trial method:

f(-1) = (-1)⁴ - 6(-1)³ + 2(-1)² + 26(-1) + 17

f(-1) = 0

f(1) = (1)⁴ - 6(1)³ + 2(1)² + 26(1) + 17

f(1) = 40

f(-17) = (-17)⁴ - 6(-17)³ + 2(-17)² + 26(-17) + 17

f(-17) = 113152

f(17) = (17)⁴ - 6(17)³ + 2(17)² + 26(17) + 17

f(17) = 55080

This implies that x = -1 is a root, with multiplicity of 2 or 4

Let the other quadratic factor be g(x)

g(x) = [x⁴ - 6x³ + 2x² + 26x + 17] ÷ (x + 1)²

g(x) = [x⁴ - 6x³ + 2x² + 26x + 17] ÷ (x² + 2x + 1)

g(x) = [x²(x² + 2x + 1) - 8x(x² + 2x + 1) + 17(x² + 2x + 1)] ÷ (x² + 2x + 1)

g(x) = x² - 8x + 17

g(x) = 0

x = [-(-8) +/- sqrt[(-8)² - 4(1)(17)]/2

x = [8 +/- 2i]/2

x = 4 +/- i

How do you find an exact value for sin of 40 degrees without using a calculator
Cerrena [4.2K]
Sin 40° + sin 130° + sin 220° + sin 310° = ...
sin 130° = sin 50°;
sin 220° = - sin 40°;
sin 310° = - sin 50°
... = sin 40° + sin 50° - sin 40° - sin 50° = 0

Using differential calculus, maximize the volume of a box made of cardboard (top is open) as shown in Figure A. 15, subject to t
lana [24]

The maximum volume of the box is 40√(10/27) cu in.

Here we see that volume is to be maximized

The surface area of the box is 40 sq in

Since the top lid is open, the surface area will be

lb + 2lh + 2bh = 40

Now, the length is equal to the breadth.

Let them be x in

Hence,

x² + 2xh + 2xh = 40

or, 4xh = 40 - x²

or, h = 10/x - x/4

Let f(x) = volume of the box

= lbh

Hence,

f(x) = x²(10/x - x/4)

= 10x - x³/4

differentiating with respect to x and equating it to 0 gives us

f'(x) = 10 - 3x²/4 = 0

or, 3x²/4 = 10

or, x² = 40/3

Hence x will be equal to 2√(10/3)

Now to check whether this value of x will give us the max volume, we will find

f"(2√(10/3))

f"(x) = -3x/2

hence,

f"(2√(10/3)) = -3√(10/3)

Since the above value is negative, volume is maximum for x = 2√(10/3)

Hence volume

= 10 X 2√(10/3)  -  [2√(10/3)]³/4

= 2√(10/3) [10 - 10/3]

= 2√(10/3) X 20/3

= 40√(10/27) cu in

Which part of the graph best represents the solution set to the system of inequalities y<_ x+1 and y+x<_ -1
Pavel [41]

Hello!

Remember that the symbols: ≤ and ≥ are graphed as a solid line. While the symbols: < and > are graphed as a dotted line.

Also, before graphing, it would be better to convert both equations to slope-intercept form.

y ≤ x + 1 is already in slope-intercept form.

y + x ≤ -1 is not written in slope-intercept form. (Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b)

y + x ≤ - 1 (subtract x from both sides)

y ≤ -x - 1

Graphing those lines, you get the graph below. You can see that Part C best represents the solution set systems of inequalities, because that is where both of the shaded lines intersect.

Answer: Part C
