F(x) = x3 – 13x2 + 52x – 60 Find the roots

Mathematics
1 answer:
MArishka [77]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The roots are 2, 5 and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the last term is 60  we could see if  one root is 2:

2^3 - 13(2)^2 + 52*2 - 60

= 8 - 52 + 104 - 60

= 112 - 112 = 0

So x = 2 is one root and x - 2 is a factor.

Long multiplication:

x - 2 (x^3  - 13x^2  + 52x  - 60 ( x^2 - 11x + 30  <--- Quotient

        x^3  -   2x^2

                 -  11 x^2 + 52x

                 -  11x^2  + 22x

                                   30x - 60

                                   30x - 60

So x^2 - 11x + 30 = 0

(x - 6)(x - 5) = 0

x = 6, 5.

Paul finished his 800 meter race in 2 minutes and 2 seconds. Jeff finished in 121 seconds. Who finished first? (PLESES SHOW WORK
elixir [45]

Answer:

Jeff finished first

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, I can either converts 2 minutes 2 seconds to seconds or convert 121 seconds to minutes

<u><em>CONVERT 2 MINUTES 2 SECONDS TO SECONDS</em></u>

60 seconds = 1 minutes

to convert 2 minutes 2 seconds to seconds, multiply 2 minutes by 60 and then add 2 seconds to it

2 x 60 = 120 seconds

120 seconds + 2 seconds = 122 seconds

Paul finished in 122 seconds while Jeff finished in 121 seconds. Jeff finished first

<u><em>CONVERT 121 SECONDS TO MINUTES</em></u>

60 seconds = 1 minutes

To convert 121 seconds to minutes, we have to divide by 60

121/60 = 2 minutes 1 second

Paul finished the race in 2 minutes 2 seconds while eff finished the race in 2 minutes 1 second. Jeff finished first

How do I solve it because it’s really difficult
dybincka [34]

The solution of the equation is x= 3 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

-3x-4y = -17 and

-x-3y = -9

The system of equation can be rewritten as

3x+4y = 17 ------eq 1 and

x+3y = 9 ------ eq 2

To solve for x and y

Multiplying eq 2 by 3 we get,

3x + 9y = 27

or, 3x = 27-9y

Putting this value of x into eq 1 we get,

27-9y +4y = 17

or, -5y = 17-27

or, -5y = -10

or, y = 2

Now put y=2 in eq 2 we get,

x = 9 - 3(2)

= 3

Hence the solution is x = 3 and y = 2
