Answer:

x=14, x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First factor the equation. Which numbers multiplies to 14 and adds up to -15? It's -14 and -1 so the equation is factored to (x-14)(x-1). I assume that you know how to do this.

Then set the values inside the parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x.

We need to call for x minute
+ Phone Company A charges a monthly fee of $42.50, and $0.02 for each minute talk time. So we have to spend: $42.50+ $0.02x
+ Phone company B charges a monthly fee of $25.00, and $0.09 for each minute of talk time. So we have to spend: $25.00+ $0.09x

We solve for x: $42.50+ $0.02x> $25.00+ $0.09x
or $42.50- $25.00 > $0.09x- $0.02x
and we have $0.07x<$27.50
or x< 27.50:0.07 and x< 393.86

The answer is:
If we have to call much time, at least 394 minutes, we should choose A
If not, choose B

For the given polynomials find the sum of the squares of the roots. P(x)=x^3-x^2-18x+k

slega [8]

$\text{Given that,}\\\\P(x) = x^3 -x^2 -18x+k\\\\\text{If the roots are}~ \alpha, ~ \beta,~\text{and}~ \gamma, ~ \text{then},\\\\\alpha +\beta+\gamma= -\dfrac{(-1)}1 = 1\\\\\alpha \beta +\beta \gamma + \gamma \alpha= -\dfrac{18}1 = -18\\ \\\text{Now, sum of the squares of the roots,}\\\\\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = ( \alpha + \beta + \gamma)^2 -2(\alpha \beta + \gamma \beta + \gamma \alpha)\\ \\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=1^2 - 2(-18)\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=1+36\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=37$
