Answer:
x = 0, x = -4, and x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the zeros of this polynomial, we can begin by factoring out a common factor of each term. 'x' is a common factor. We can distribute this variable out, giving us:
f(x) = x(x²- 2x- 24)
Now, factor the polynomial inside of the parenthesis into its simplest form. Factors of -24 that add up to -2 are -4 and 6.
f(x) = x( x + 4) (x - 6)
From this, we can derive the zeros x = 0, x = -4 and x = 6.
So Sahra is 3 times as old as her daugter. That means that the sum of their age is the daughters age times 4.
We can prove that by saying the daughters age is x. Sahra's age must be 3x. Their sum must be x+3x = 4x.
So to get the daughters age we divide the sum by 4, which is 8.
You know when it is a periodic function if the values repeats in regular intervals or periods. An example of this is trigonometric functions that repeat over intervals of 2 pi radians.
195+170+275=640, divided by 60 gets you about 10 and a half packets.
