Answer:

Option C - f(x) =x^3-2x^2  

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which polynomial will definitely have non-real zeros?

Solution :

Descartes' rule of sign is used to determine the number of real zeros of a polynomial function.

Now, we apply Descartes's  rule in each polynomial.

A) f(x) =x^3-2x^2-x-2

(+ - - - ) f(x) has one sign change,

So, One positive roots.

f(-x) =(-x)^3 - 2(-x)^2 -(-x) - 2

f(-x) = -x^3-2x^2+x-2

(- - + -) f(-x) has two sign change,

So, there are either 0 or 2 negative real roots.

B) f(x) =x^3-2x^2+x-2

(+ - + - ) f(x) has three sign change,

So, Three positive roots.

f(-x) =(-x)^3 - 2(-x)^2 +(-x) - 2

f(-x) = -x^3-2x^2-x-2

(- - - -) f(-x) has no sign change,

So, there are no negative real roots.

C) f(x) =x^3-2x^2

(+ -) f(x) has one sign change,

So, One positive roots.

f(-x) =(-x)^3 - 2(-x)^2

f(-x) = -x^3-2x^2

(- -) f(-x) has no sign change,

So, there are no negative real roots.

Since, the order of polynomial is three and we get only one real root so the roots left possibly be imaginary or non-real zeros.

D) f(x) =x^4-8x^2+16

(+ - +) f(x) has two sign change,

So, two positive roots.

f(-x) =(-x)^4 - 8(-x)^2 +16

f(-x) = x^4-8x^2-x+16

(+ - +) f(-x) has two sign change,

So, there are two negative real roots.

Therefore, Only Option C will have non-real zeros.

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided from your question about nonreal zeroes is the fourth option or letter <span>D.X^4-8x^2+16. It was found out that the zeroes of this polynomial have one positive real root which is nonzero because it has sign change. I hope that has come to your help.</span>

Please help!! law of sines and cosines related
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

as below

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the height of the pole recall the relationship of sin cos and tan to the triangle with this helpful mnemonic   SOH CAH TOA

Sin = Opp / Hyp

Cos = Adj / Hyp

Tan = Opp / Adj

we will need to solve two triangles and subtract  them.

one is the 15° one of the slope of the road and the other is the 57° one that is the angle of the sun. sooooo,

lets solve the 15° one first.  We are told that the adj side is 75'

since we know the angle and the adj side and we want to find the Opp side let's use Tan b/c it has all of those in it :)  

Tan(15) = Opp / 75

75*Tan(15) = Opp   ( I'll put my calculator to work for this )

20.096 = Opp

that's the height of the road to the bottom of the flag pole along that flag pole axis into the ground  

next lets solve the 57°  triangle in the exact same way

Tan(57) =Opp / 75

75*Tan(57) = Opp

115.4898 = Opp

the tall triangle is the one that goes all the way into the ground,  the small one is the one that is under the ground

so subtract the small one from the big one to find the height of the flag pole above the ground

115.4898-20.096 = 95.3938

so the flag pole is about 95.4 feet tall

:o that's pretty tall :

Solve the system.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

{x,y,z} = {-18,4,2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x  

x = -10y + 2z + 18

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

(-10y+2z+18) + 9y + z = 20

- y + 3z = 2

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [3]

 3•(-10y+2z+18) + 27y + 2z = 58

   - 3y + 8z = 4

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

 y = 3z - 2

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [3]

  - 3•(3z-2) + 8z = 4

   - z = -2

Solve equation [3] for the variable  z  

 z = 2

By now we know this much :

 x = -10y+2z+18

   y = 3z-2

   z = 2

Use the  z  value to solve for  y  

 y = 3(2)-2 = 4

Use the  y  and  z  values to solve for  x  

 x = -10(4)+2(2)+18 = -18

What are the ratios of sine, cosine, and tangent for angle Y? sin(Y) = StartFraction X Z Over X Y EndFraction; cos(Y) = StartFra
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

\sin Y= \frac{XZ}{XY}

\cos Y= \frac{YZ}{XY}

\tan Y= \frac{XZ}{YZ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangle

Required

Find \sin, \cos and \tan of angle Y

For angle Y:

Opposite = XZ

Adjacent = YZ

Hypotenuse = XY

The \sin of an angle is calculated as:

\sin\theta = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

So:

\sin Y= \frac{XZ}{XY}

The \cos of an angle is calculated as:

\cos\theta = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

So:

\cos Y= \frac{YZ}{XY}

The \tan of an angle is calculated as:

\tan\theta = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

So:

\tan Y= \frac{XZ}{YZ}

the midpoint is AB is M(3,-2). One endpoint is A(7,-9). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint B.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

<em>The required points of the given line segment  are ( - 1, - 5 ).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line segment AB whose midpoint M is ( 3, -2 ) and point A is ( 7, - 9), then we have to find point B of the line segment AB -

As we know that-

If a line segment AB is with endpoints ( x_{1}, y_{1} ) and  ( x_{2}, y_{2}  )then the mid points M are-  

<em>M = ( \frac{ x_{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{ y_{1} + y_{2}  }{2}  )</em>

Here,

<em>Let A ( 7, - 9 ), B ( x, y ) with midpoint M ( 3, - 2 ) -</em>

then by the midpoint formula M are-

<em>( 3, - 2 )  = ( \frac{ 7 + x}{2} , \frac{ - 9 + y}{2} )</em>

On comparing x coordinate and y coordinate -

We get,

<em>( \frac{ 7 + x}{2} = 3  , \frac{ - 9 + y}{2}  = - 2)</em>

<em>( 7 + x = 6, - 9 + y = - 4 )</em>

<em>( x = 6 - 7, y = - 4 + 9 )</em>

<em>( x = - 1, y = -5 )</em>

<em>Hence the required points  A are ( - 1, - 5 ).</em>

<em>We can also verify by putting these points into Midpoint formula.</em>
