Which are real zeroes of this function? x3 + 2x2 – 9x – 18

Mathematics

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

E. -2, 3, -3

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find the zeroes of the function, we just need to evaluate the given values and check if the function/expression tends to 0.

We are given the function

f(x)=x^{3}+2x^{2}-9x-18

Now, to find the zeroes, we need to substitute the values, so, substituting the values of the option E, we have:

First value, -2:

f(-2)=-2^{3}+2*(-2)^{2}-9*(-2)-18

f(-2)=-8+2*4+18-18

f(-2)=-8+8+18-18=0

Second value, 3:

f(3)=3^{3}+2*(3)^{2}-9*(3)-18

f(3)=27+2*9-27-18

f(3)=27+18-27-18=0

Third value, -3:

f(-3)=-3^{3}+2*-3^{2}-9*-3-18

f(-3)=-27+2*9+27-18

f(-3)=-27+2*9+27-18=0

Hence, we have that evaluating the values of the option E, the function tends to 0.

So, the correct option is: E. -2, 3, -3

Have a nice day!

Heath needs to end up with 10L of solution, 

of which 9L is bleach. So let m = liters of 20% 

solution needed. Then .20m liters of that are bleach. 

He must then add p liters of bleach to make 

a total of 10 L. That is, p + m = 10. So the system is 

m + p = 10, .20m + p = 9. Solving, 

<span>m = 1.25 L 20% solution, and thus p = 8.75 L bleach.</span>

Multiply This Expression: -10 ( -a + 5 )
Dovator [93]
You would use distribution. So, in this case, it would be 10a - 50. You use -10 to multiply -a and 5, and you get 10a, and -50.

The function h=−16t2+26t models the height h (in feet) of the dolphin after t seconds. after how many seconds is the dolphin at
valentina_108 [34]
Given the movement of Dolphin has been modeled by the function:
h(t)=-16t^2+26t
the time taken for Dolphin to reach 5 feet will be:
5=-16t^2+26t
writing the above in quadratic form ax^2+bx+c=0 we get:
16t^2-26t+5=0
solving the quadratic equation using quadratic formula we obtain:
t=13/16+/-√89/16
t=0.22 sec or 1.40 sec

The real numbers $x$ and $y$ are such that \begin{align*} x + y &amp;= 4, \\ x^2 + y^2 &amp;= 22, \\ x^4 &amp;= y^4 - 176 \sqrt{
tamaranim1 [39]

You get everything you need from factoring the last expression:

x^4-y^4=-176\sqrt7

The left side is a difference of squares, and we get another difference of squares upon factoring. We end up with

x^4-y^4=(x^2-y^2)(x^2+y^2)=(x-y)(x+y)(x^2+y^2)

Plug in everything you know and solve for x-y:

-176\sqrt7=(x-y)\cdot4\cdot22\implies x-y=\boxed{-2\sqrt7}
