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.

Please help! !!!!!!50 POINTS!!!!!!! Question bellow!!
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Area = πr²
Area = 3.14* 6²
A = 3.14 * 36
A = 113.04

Now find the area of the other one. 

<span>Area = πr²
A = 3.14 * 0.75</span>²
A = 1.76625

Now subtract them. 

113.04 - 1.76625 = 111.27375
Now, we have our answer: A = <span>111.27375

However, I don't see why they told you to have an exact answer for the area. You can't have an exact answer when you use 3.14 for pi.</span>
