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}.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

  $1015.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate formula for the payment amount (A) for principal P and interest rate r over time period t years is ...

  A = P·(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

Filling in the given numbers, you get ...

  A = 176,900·(.0482/12)/(1 -(1 +0.0482/12)^-300) ≈ 1015.67

Violet's monthly payment for principal and interest is $1015.67.

amid [387]

Answer:

a) $86.11

b) $467.33

Step-by-step explanation:

no. of gallons saved 'n' per year

n = (10000/33) - (10000/36)

n = 2500/99

Amount saved = 3.41×n = 3.41×2500/99

= $86.11

b) over 5 years:

86.11( 1 + (1.041) + (1.041)² + (1.041)³ + (1.041)⁴ )

= 86.11(5.427157431)

= $467.33
