We have been given a polynomial function f(x)=x^3-x^2-9x+9. We are asked to choose the root of the function from given choices.

Let us set our polynomial equal to 0.

x^3-x^2-9x+9=0

Now we will factor our polynomial by grouping method.

(x^3-x^2)+(-9x+9)=0

Let us factor out greatest common factor from each group.

x^2(x-1)-9(x-1)=0

(x-1)(x^2-9)=0

We can further factor (x^2-9) using difference of squares.

(x-1)(x^2-3^2)=0

(x-1)(x+3)(x-3)=0

Using zero product property, we will get:

(x-1)=0\text{ (or) }(x+3)=0\text{ (or) }(x-3)=0

x=1\text{ (or) }x=-3\text{ (or) }x=3

Upon looking at our given choices, we can see that -3 is the correct choice, therefore, -3 is root of the given polynomial.

How many different ways
Lorico [155]

Answer:

120 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to count the permutation since the order the matters: nPr = n! / (n - r)!, where n is the total number and r is the total number of chosen.

1) Substitute values into the formula. SMILE has 5 letters, and we choose 5.

5P5 = 5! / (5 - 5)!

5P5 = 5! / 0!

Zero factorial (0!) is always 1.

So, 5P5 = 5! / 1

5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

5! = 120

Therefore, 5P5 = 120 / 1, which is 120. We can arrange the word SMILE in 120 different ways.

A circular garden has a circumference of 63 yards. Lars Is digging a straight line along a diameter of the garden at a rate of 5
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

f the circumference of the circular garden =63 yards

Circumference of a Circle =2πr=πd (d=diameter)

Therefore:

πd= 63

diameter of the circular garden =63/3.14=20 yards

If he digs at a rate of 5 yards per hour, the time required to dig across the garden will be:

20 yards/5 yard per hours = 4 hours

It will take him 4 hours to dig across the circular garden.
