Find the zeroes of 6x^4+x^3+2x^2-4x+1

Masja [62]3 years ago

By the rational root theorem, you have the following candidates for roots:

\pm\dfrac16,\pm\dfrac13,\pm\dfrac12

Plugging in each of these will tell you which one is actually a zero. You'll find that both x=\dfrac12 and x=\dfrac13 both work, which means x-\dfrac12 and x-\dfrac13 are linear factors to the quartic.

To find the remaining factor(s), divide the quartic by the known factors:

\dfrac{6x^4+x^3+2x^2-4x+1}{x-\dfrac12}=6x^3+4x^2+4x-2
\dfrac{6x^3+4x^2+4x-2}{x-\dfrac13}=6x^2+6x+6

Since 6x^2+6x+6=6(x^2+x+1)=0 has no real roots, you are left with

6x^4+x^3+2x^2-4x+1=\left(x-\dfrac12\right)\left(x-\dfrac13\right)(6x^2+6x+6)=(2x-1)(3x-1)(x^2+x+1)=0

which has two real zeros at x=\dfrac12, x=\dfrac13. It also has two complex roots at x=-\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt3i}2.

Solve the right triangle <br>round your answer to the nearest tenth.​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Use SOH-CAH-TOA method and figure out which sign you need. SOH- Sin, CAH- Cos, TOA- Tan.

Also,

SOH- opposite/hypotenuse

CAH- adjacent/hypotenuse

TOA- opposite/adjacent

Look at the angle and see which terms you have already. For example, if you had opposite the angle and the adjacent side, you would choose tangent because its TOA. Hope that helps!

Round off 0.043 to one significant figure
aniked [119]
Hey there :)

0.043
The first 0 before the decimal point is not significant since it is used for cosmetic purpose
The 0 after the decimal is not significant as the 0 is used to locate the decimal point
The 4 is the first nonzero integer and it counts as a significant figure

Therefore, 0.04 will be your answer rounded to 1 s.f
