Dennis, Emily, and Fernando want to find the zeros of the polynomial p(x)=x3+6x2+9x. Each student worked independently and prese

nted his or her results to the group. Dennis used the Rational Root Theorem to identify all zeros of p(x). According to this theorem he stated that the zeros of p(x) are ±1, ±3, and ±9. Emily used the greatest common factor and perfect-square trinomial methods to factor p(x) as p(x)=x(x+3)2. She applied the definition of zeros and found that the zeros of p(x) are 0 and −3. Fernando used the greatest common factor and perfect-square trinomial methods to factor p(x) as p(x)=x(x+3)2. He applied the definition of zeros and found that the zeros of p(x) are 0 and −3. He then applied the Irrational Root Theorem and stated that since −3 is a zero, 3 must also be a zero. Therefore, the zeros are 0 and ±3. Which statements accurately justify why each student is correct or incorrect? There may be more than one correct answer. Select all correct answers. emily’s response is incorrect because although she correctly factored the polynomial and used the definition of zeros, she did not apply the Irrational Root Theorem. Fernando’s response is correct because he correctly factored the polynomial, correctly used the definition of zeros, and correctly used the Irrational Root Theorem to identify all zeros. Fernando’s response is incorrect because he inappropriately applied the Irrational Root Theorem. Dennis’ response is incorrect. According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the polynomial p(x) cannot have six roots, or zeros, because it is only of degree 3. Emily’s response is correct because she correctly factored the polynomial, and correctly used the definition of zeros to reach her answer. Dennis’ response is correct because he correctly factored the polynomial, and correctly used the Rational Root Theorem to identify zeros of a polynomial.

Answer:

  • Fernando’s response is incorrect because he inappropriately applied the Rational Root Theorem.
  • Dennis’ response is incorrect. According to the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, the polynomial p(x) cannot have six roots, or zeros, because it is only of degree 3.
  • Emily’s response is correct because she correctly factored the polynomial, and correctly used the definition of zeros to reach her answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rational Root Theorem offers a list of possible rational roots. Each needs to be tested to see if it is an actual rational root. Fernando and Dennis made inappropriate assumptions about what the Rational Root Theorem allowed them to conclude.

Find the reciprocal or multiplication inverse-7
allochka39001 [22]

I can't really tell if the question is asking about 7 or -7, so I'll give the answer for both.

A multiplicative inverse for 7 is a number you can multiply by 7 to make it equal to 1. In terms of an equation, you would get 7x = 1. We can then solve for x by dividing both sides by 7. So x = 1/7.

For -7, you would be able to solve the same equation as above just with -7 in the place of 7. You would end up with x = -1/7.

If the Kramers spent $2,905 on their auto expenses,auto expenses are 7% of house hold expenses, what was their total income for
dimaraw [331]
37,300.20 Because 7% is 0.07 and then you multiply that by 2905 which is 203.35 and add that by 2905 which is 3108.15 then multiply that by 12 months

A circle has an area of 225pift2 find the radius of the circle and find the diameter and circumference of the circle
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

  • radius: 15 ft
  • diameter: 30 ft
  • circumference: 30π ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given in terms of the radius as ...

  A = πr^2

so we can find the radius as ...

  r = √(A/π)

For your circle, the radius is ...

  r = √(225π ft^2/π) = 15 ft

The diameter is twice the radius, so is ...

  d = 2r = 2·15 ft = 30 ft

And the circumference is π times the diameter:

  C = πd = π·30 ft = 30π ft

Tia owns a fruit shop and is selling a fresh lot of apples and oranges. She wants the ratio of apples to oranges sold to be 4 to
____ [38]

Answer: 32 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of apples to oranges sold is given as 4 to 2. Since Tia wants to sell a total of 48 apples and oranges, the number of apples that she should sell would be:

= 4/(4+2) × 48

= 4/6 × 48

= 32

Therefore, he should sell 32 apples.
