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>

For the function f(x)=5x, which ordered pair will be a point on the graph of the function?
Ostrovityanka [42]
Basically f(x)=5x means whatever number you plug in will be your x coordinate, and the result will be your y coordinate.
(1,5) (2,10) (3,15) (4,20) and so on. 1,2,3 and 4 are x coordinates plugged into the equation, the y coordinate is whatever 1,2,3 and 4 multiplied by 5 is.

What’s the answer and how do I solve it?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

x= -1, x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The “zeros” of a quadratic function are where the parabola intersects the x axis. In that graph the parabola touches x=-1 and x=-3. Therefore that is the answer.

If I put a different sticker on the 30th, 50th, and 60th pages will any of the first 600 pages have all 3 stickers?
icang [17]

Answer:

so the which page that will have the 3 sticker, we must solve the least common multiple of 30, 50, 60. A common multiple is a number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. The common multiples of 3 and 4 are 0, 12, 24, ....

The least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number (not zero) that is a multiple of both.

so the least common multiple of 30, 50 and 60 is 300. so the page that will have 3 stickers is 300th page
