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}.

What is 0.95 in simplest form
solong [7]
0.95 \times \frac{100}{100} = \frac{95}{100} = \frac{19 \times 5}{20\times 5}\\\\ = \boxed{\bf{\frac{19}{20}}}

0.95 in simplest form is 19/20

prove that the quadrilateral whose vertices are the points A(-1,1), B(-3,4), C(1,5) and D(3,2) is a parallelogram.
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Since \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{DC} and \overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{BC}, then the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we label each point of the quadrilateral with the help of a graphing tool. If the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, then \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{DC} and \overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{BC}. If we know that A(x,y) =(-1, 1), B(x,y) =(-3,4), C(x,y) = (1,5) and D(x,y) = (3,2), then the measure of each vector is, respectively:

\overrightarrow{AB} = (-3,4)-(-1,1)

\overrightarrow{AB} = (-2, 3)

\overrightarrow{DC} = (1,5)-(3,2)

\overrightarrow{DC} = ( -2,3)

\overrightarrow{AD} = (3,2)-(-1,1)

\overrightarrow{AD} = (4, 1)

\overrightarrow{BC} = (1,5)-(-3,4)

\overrightarrow{BC} = (4, 1)

Since \overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{DC} and \overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{BC}, then the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

two years local internet service costs $685, including the installation fee of $85. what is the monthly fee?
kari74 [83]
685-85=600 would be 2 years of service. 600/2=300 would be 1 year. 300/12=25 would be 1 month. The monthly fee is $25.
