<em>ANSWER:</em>

<h2>7k</h2>

<em>STEP:</em>

Add -k and 8k. If you don't know why, since there is two "-". Two of those sign mean to add. And negative plus a positive is negative or positive. Or, you can just do 8k-1k. That is the same. You'll get 7k.

-k-(-8k)

= -k + 8k (two negatives equal one positive)

= 8k-k (flip it around because of the commutative property)

=7k (basic subtraction)

I really hope that helped :)

Marizza181 [45]

With some simple rearrangement, we can rewrite the numerator as

2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4 = 2(x^3 - x) - 3x^2 + x + 4 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = 2x(x^2-1) - 3(x^2 - 1) + x + 1 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = (2x-3)(x^2-1) + x+1

Then factorizing the difference of squares, x^2-1=(x-1)(x+1), we end up with

\dfrac{2x^3 - 3x^2 - x + 4}{x^2 - 1} = \dfrac{(2x-3)(x-1)(x+1) + x+1}{(x-1)(x+1)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \boxed{2x-3 + \dfrac1{x-1}}

Unit activity: exponential and logarithmic functions
nirvana33 [79]

We will conclude that:

  • The domain of the exponential function is equal to the range of the logarithmic function.
  • The domain of the logarithmic function is equal to the range of the exponential function.

<h3>Comparing the domains and ranges.</h3>

Let's study the two functions.

The exponential function is given by:

f(x) = A*e^x

You can input any value of x in that function, so the domain is the set of all real numbers. And the value of x can't change the sign of the function, so, for example, if A is positive, the range will be:

y > 0.

For the logarithmic function we have:

g(x) = A*ln(x).

As you may know, only positive values can be used as arguments for the logarithmic function, while we know that:

\lim_{x \to \infty} ln(x) = \infty \\\\ \lim_{x \to0} ln(x) = -\infty

So the range of the logarithmic function is the set of all real numbers.

<h3>So what we can conclude?</h3>
  • The domain of the exponential function is equal to the range of the logarithmic function.
  • The domain of the logarithmic function is equal to the range of the exponential function.

1.) What are the zeros of the polynomial? f(x)=x^4-x^3-16x^2+4x+48.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

3.) \displaystyle [x - 2][x^2 + 2][x + 4]

2.) \displaystyle 2\:complex\:solutions → x^2 + 3x + 6 >> -\frac{3 - i\sqrt{15}}{2}, -\frac{3 + i\sqrt{15}}{2}

1.) \displaystyle 4, -3, 2, and\:-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3.) By the Rational Root Theorem, we would take the Least Common Divisor [LCD] between the leading coefficient of 1, and the initial value of −16, which is 1, but we will take 2 since it is the <em>fourth root</em> of 16; so this automatically makes our first factor of \displaystyle x - 2.Next, since the factor\divisor is in the form of \displaystyle x - c, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, −c gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

2| 1 2 −6 4 −16

↓ 2 8 4 16

__________________

1 4 2 8 0 → \displaystyle x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x + 8

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [x⁴ + 2x³ - 6x² + 4x - 16]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 1 in your quotient can be an x³, the 4x² follows right behind it, bringing 2x right up against it, and bringing up the rear, 8, giving you the quotient of \displaystyle x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x + 8.

However, we are not finished yet. This is our first quotient. The next step, while still using the Rational Root Theorem with our first quotient, is to take the Least Common Divisor [LCD] of the leading coefficient of 1, and the initial value of 8, which is −4, so this makes our next factor of \displaystyle x + 4.Then again, we use Synthetic Division because \displaystyle x + 4is in the form of \displaystyle x - c:

−4| 1 4 2 8

↓ −4 0 −8

_____________

1 0 2 0 → \displaystyle x^2 + 2

So altogether, we have our four factors of \displaystyle [x^2 + 2][x + 4][x - 2].

__________________________________________________________

2.) By the Rational Root Theorem again, this time, we will take −1, since the leading coefficient & variable\degree and the initial value do not share any common divisors other than the <em>special</em><em> </em><em>number</em> of 1, and it does not matter which integer of 1 you take first. This gives a factor of \displaystyle x + 1.Then start up Synthetic Division again:

−1| 1 3 5 −3 −6

↓ −1 −2 −3 6

__________________

1 2 3 −6 0 → \displaystyle x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x - 6

Now we take the other integer of 1 to get the other factor of \displaystyle x - 1,then repeat the process of Synthetic Division:

1| 1 2 3 −6

↓ 1 3 6

_____________

1 3 6 0 → \displaystyle x^2 + 3x + 6

So altogether, we have our three factors of \displaystyle [x - 1][x^2 + 3x + 6][x + 1].

Hold it now! Notice that \displaystyle x^2 + 3x + 6is unfactorable. Therefore, we have to apply the Quadratic Formula to get our two complex solutions, \displaystyle a + bi[or zeros in this matter]:

\displaystyle -b ± \frac{\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = x \\ \\ -3 ± \frac{\sqrt{3^2 - 4[1][6]}}{2[1]} = x \\ \\ -3 ± \frac{\sqrt{9 - 24}}{2} = x \\ \\ -3 ± \frac{\sqrt{-15}}{2} = x \\ \\ -3 ± i\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2} = x \\ \\ -\frac{3 - i\sqrt{15}}{2}, -\frac{3 + i\sqrt{15}}{2} = x

__________________________________________________________

1.) By the Rational Root Theorem one more time, this time, we will take 4 since the initial value is 48 and that 4 is the root of the polynomial. This gives our automatic factor of \displaystyle x - 4.Then start up Synthetic Division again:

4| 1 −1 −16 4 48

↓ 4 12 −16 −48

___________________

1 3 −4 −12 0 → \displaystyle x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x - 12

We can then take −3 since it is a root of this polynomial, giving us the factor of \displaystyle x + 3:

−3| 1 3 −4 −12

↓ −3 0 12

_______________

1 0 −4 0 → \displaystyle x^2 - 4 >> [x - 2][x + 2]

So altogether, we have our four factors of \displaystyle [x - 2][x + 3][x + 2][x - 4],and when set to equal zero, you will get \displaystyle 4, -3, 2, and\:-2.

I am delighted to assist you anytime.
