Possible roots are formed using the last term (12) of the given function and the 1st term (1) as your basis:

Since factors of 12 include plus or minus 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12,

possible rational roots include plus or minus 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 6,/1, 12/1 (and so on.)   I will take a chance and try the possible root 6/1, or just plain 6.

Use synthetic division, with 6 as the divisor and all of the coefficients of    <span>x^5+3x^4-5x^3-15x^2+4x+12   as dividend:
       ______________________
  6  /  1   3   -5   -15   4    12
               6  54
       --------------------------------
          1   9   49   This is not going to work; 6 is not a root.  

Try -3 as divisor:


        ___________________
</span>  -3  /  1   3   -5   -15   4    12
               -3    0     15  0   -12
       -------------------------- ------
          1    0   -5      0   4     0

Since the remainder is zero, x = -3 is a root of the given polynomial.  

Repeat this process, except skip x = -3 and x = 6 as divisors.

Use the coefficients    1   0   -5   0   4.  Note that plus or minus 4 over 1 forms other possible rational roots:  4/1, -4/1, 2/1, -2/1, 1, -1

Let's check out          
    ____________
1 /  1  0  -5  0   4
           1  1  -4    -4
--------------------------
      1   1  -4  -4    0
Thus, 1 is also a root of the polynomial, along with -3.

Repeat this process.  As divisors try 4/1, -4/1, 2/1, -2/1, -1

Can you now finish this factoring?

The 2 roots found so far are {1, -3}.

Answer:

First Picture: -2/7

Second Picture: 9/5

Third Picture: 5/3

Not sure of the others

Step-by-step explanation:

Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.

Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise).

Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run).

Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).

What is true about a rhombus and square?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

B. all of these are true

Step-by-step explanation:

The Square is a rhombus because all the sides of a square are equal in length. Even, the diagonals of both square and rhombus are perpendicular to each other and bisect the opposite angles. Therefore, we can say the square is a rhombus.

Hope this helped!!
