Answer:

± 1/2,±1, ±2,± 5/2, ±4 ,±5 , ±10, ± 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the rational root theorem to find all the possible roots

2x^3+5x^2-8x-20=0  

Let the constant term  be called p and the leading term be called q.  Then the possible roots are the positive and negative roots of the factors of p/q

p = 20

q = 2

Factors of p: 1,2,4,5,10,20

Factors of q: 1,2

Possible roots

    1 ,2,4,5,10,20

±   --------------------------------------------------------

      1,2

So we get

±1, ±2, ±4 ,±5 , ±10 ± 20 ± 1/2± 2/2,±4/2,± 5/2,± 10/2,± 20/2

Simplifying

±1, ±2, ±4 ,±5 , ±10, ± 20, ± 1/2,± 1,±2,± 5/2,± 5,± 10

Eliminating repeats

±1, ±2, ±4 ,±5 , ±10, ± 20 ,± 1/2,± 5/2

Putting them in numerical order

± 1/2,±1, ±2,± 5/2, ±4 ,±5 , ±10, ± 20

Answer:

Its Option 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible rational roots will have a numerator that divides 20 (the last number) and a denominator that divides 2 (the coefficient of x^3).

For example 20/2, 10/2 and -1/2  =  10, 5 and -1/2.

The correct answer is the first option.

Suppose that $2000 is invested at a rate of 2.6% , compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, find the tota
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$2,589.52

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}

We start with the compound interest formula above, where

A = future value

P = principal amount invested

r = annual rate of interest written as a decimal

n = number of times interest is compound per year

t = number of years

For this problem, we have

P = 2000

r = 0.026

n = 2

t = 10,

and we find A.

A = $2000(1 + \dfrac{0.026}{2})^{2 \times 10}

A = $2589.52

Kiwi and Corn got into an argument over if 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for 6. Do you think 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

comparing the two given values, 1.75 and 6, estimating 1.75 for 6 is not reasonable. This is due to the fact that converting 1.75 to the nearest whole number gives 2 which is far away from 6. Since,

   6 - 2 = 4

So, estimating 1.75 for 6 would involve a large value of error. Which make it unreasonable. It would have been more reasonable to estimate 1.75 for 2.
