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

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.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=3(5280)/(2(380+250))

L=15840/1260

L=12.57

So to walk three miles one must walk around the garden 12.57 times.

Polygon ABCD is a rectangle. What is its area? Round your answer to the
galben [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  26 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Counting grid squares on the graph, we see that segment AB is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 2 and 3. Its length is ...

  AB = √(2²+3²) = √13

We can also see that the adjacent longer sides are twice this length, each being the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 6 wide and 4 high.

  AC = √(6² +4²) = √52 = 2√13

Then the area is ...

  A = LW

  A = (2√13)(√13) = 2·13 = 26 . . . square units

2,826 rounded to the nearest tenth
jasenka [17]

Answer:

2,826

Step-by-step explanation:

A tenth is the first place value after the decimal point

In this case, 2,826.<u>0</u>0

To round a number to the tenths place, we look at the hundredths place

If the number is 5 or more, we add 1 to the tenths place, and leave the numbers to the right 0's

If the number is 4 or less, we keep the number as it is in the tenths place, and leave the numbers to the right 0's

In this case, the hundredths place is a 0, which is less than 4, so we keep the 0 in the tenths place, and leave the to the right 0's.

Thus, our final answer is 2,826.
