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.

generally people cover 110 yards in 11 seconds. express the speed in feet per second. (3 feet = 1 yard)
ivolga24 [154]
1 yd = 3 feet....so 110 yds = 3(110) = 330 ft

330 feet / 11 seconds = (330/11) = 30 feet per second

Marc makes 6 1/4 pounds of granola. He wants to freeze 3/4 of the granola. Which expressions can be used to find the number of p
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

6 1/4 x 3/4

25/4 x 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Marc freezes only a proportion of the pounds of granola, the expression for this proportion can be determined by multiplying the total pounds of granola by the fraction he wants to freeze

6 1/4 x 3/4

25/4 x 3/4

a five inch bamboo shoot doubles in height every three days. If the equation y=ab to the x power, where x represents the number
PtichkaEL [24]
This question was once asked before so I will put it here.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
