Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = 2x3 − 5x2 − 28x + 15?

likoan [24]

$\mathrm{Use\:the\:rational\:root\:theorem}$

$a_0=15,\:\quad a_n=2$

$\mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_0:\quad 1,\:3,\:5,\:15,\:\quad \mathrm{The\:dividers\:of\:}a_n:\quad 1,\:2$

$\mathrm{Therefore,\:check\:the\:following\:rational\:numbers:\quad }\pm \frac{1,\:3,\:5,\:15}{1,\:2}$

$-\frac{3}{1}\mathrm{\:is\:a\:root\:of\:the\:expression,\:so\:factor\:out\:}x+3$

$\mathrm{Compute\:}\frac{2x^3-5x^2-28x+15}{x+3}\mathrm{\:to\:get\:the\:rest\:of\:the\:eqution:\quad }2x^2-11x+5$

$=\left(x+3\right)\left(2x^2-11x+5\right)$

$Factor: 2x^2-11x+5$

$2x^2-11x+5=\left(2x^2-x\right)+\left(-10x+5\right)$

$=x\left(2x-1\right)-5\left(2x-1\right)$

$2x^3-5x^2-28x+15=\left(x+3\right)\left(x-5\right)\left(2x-1\right)$

$\left(x+3\right)\left(x-5\right)\left(2x-1\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:}$

thus zeros of f(x) is

$x=-3,\:x=5,\:x=\frac{1}{2}$

3. 100x2-36y2 ??<br> ito pa guys pleasedddd!!

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

4(5x - 3y)(5x + 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the expression factored.

Given

100x² - 36y² ← factor out 4 from each term

= 4(25x² - 9y²) ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , thus

25x² - 9y²

= (5x)² - (3y)² ← with a = 5x and b = 3y

= (5x - 3y)(5x + 3y)

Thus

100x² - 36y² = 4(5x - 3y)(5x + 3y) ← in factored form
