Answer:

{ -0.5 - √2,  0,  -.5 + √2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rewrite these two functions in a vertical column:

 f(x)=9 x^{3} +2x^2-5x+4

-g(x)=5x^3-7x+4

Now combine (through subtraction) like terms, in order of descending powers of x:

f(x) - g(x) = 4x^ 3 + 2x^2 + 2x

Let's do some preliminary factoring here.  Factor 2x out of each term, obtaining

f(x) - g(x) = 2x(2x^2 + x + 1)

First setting 2x = 0, we find that x = 0 is one solution.

Applying the quadratic formula to 2x^2 + x + 1, we see that a = 2, b = 1 and c = 1.  Then the two roots of this quadratic are:

      -1 plus or minus √(1^2 - 4(2)(1) )        -1 ± √(8)

x = ----------------------------------------------- = ---------------

                         2(1)                                         2

This simplifies to:

      -1 plus or minus √(1^2 - 4(2)(1) )        -1 ± 2√(2)

x = ----------------------------------------------- = ---------------

                         2(1)                                         2

Thus, the roots of f(x) - g(x) are { -0.5 - √2,  0,  -.5 + √2 }

Alisiya [41]
To find the total cost of Mikayla's purchase, we add together the costs of the skirts and tops. The costs of the skirts can be found be multiplying the quantity bought by the cost per skirt. Same goes for the tops.
