A polynomial with a degree of 3 is understood to have three zeroes or roots. In the given problem in 1, x3 + 6 x2 – 9x – 54, the roots of the polynomial using the calculator are B. B. 3, -3, -6. The same applies for number 2 given the polynomial x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 12. The answer in 2 is D. 4 years. The roots of the polynomial in 3 are: 

<span>x1=−0.45117</span>

<span><span>x2</span>=1.77474</span>

<span><span>x3</span>=0.03821+0.70576∗i</span>

<span><span><span>x4</span>=0.03821−0.70576∗i. Hence there is A. 1 negative root.</span></span>

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Question 1)

The polynomial function is:

           f(x)=x^3+6x^2-9x-54

It could be written as:

f(x)=x^2(x+6)-9(x+6)\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\f(x)=(x^2-9)(x+6)

The roots of a function are the possible values of x where f(x)=0

i.e.

(x^2-9)(x+6)=0\\\\i.e.\\\\\\(x-3)(x+3)(x+6)=0

Since,

(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2

Hence, we get:

x+3=0\ or\ x-3=0\ or\ x+6=0\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\x=-3\ or\ x=3\ or\ x=-6

Hence, the real zeros of the given problem is:

       B.   3, -3, -6

Question 2)

The profit function is given by:

         P(x)=x^3-4x^2+3x-12

We are asked to find the point where the company break even i.e. there is no profit or loss i.e. the possible value of x such that P(x)=0

i.e.

x^3-4x^2+3x-12=0\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\x^2(x-4)+3(x-4)\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\(x^2+3)(x-4)=0

i.e.

x^2+3=0\ or\ x-4=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2=-3\ or\ x=4

( As the square of a number can't be negative.

Hence, x^2=-3 is not a solution)

Hence, the solution is:

x=4

The correct answer is:

      D.  4 years    

Question 3)

The polynomial function is given by:

           f(x)=5x^4-7x^3-x^2-3x-2

We know that the number of sign changes of function f(x) gives the possible number of positive real roots

and  the number of sign changes of function f(-x) gives the possible number of negative real roots.

The number of sign changes in f(x) is 1

(Hence, f(x) has at most 1 positive real root)

and f(-x)=5x^4+7x^3-x^2+3x-2

The number of sign changes in f(x) is 3

(Hence, f(x) has at most 3 negative real root)

              The correct answer is:

                 C.      3 or 1

Callie is comparing the costs of two options for her college education.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Callie's comparison of two options for college education

The true statement is:

She would save $11,300 by choosing option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Analyses:

Option A:            Community College  + University               Total Expenses

Tuition & Fees    $5,800 ($2,900 x 2) + $19,000 ($9,500 x 2)    = $24,800

Scholarships       ($1,600) ($800 x 2)   + ($20,000) ($10,000 x 2)=($21,600)

Room & Board    $2,500 ($1,250 x 2)  + $23,000 ($11,500 x 2) =   $25,500

Work-Study                                            + ($4,000)  ($2,000 x 2)  = ($4,000)

Total Cost           $6,700                       + $18,000      =                    $24,700

Option B:            4 years' University

Tuition & Fees    $38,000 ($9,500 x 4)

Scholarships       ($40,000) ($10,000 x 4)

Room & Board    $46,000 ($11,500 x 4)

Work-Study         ($8,000)  ($2,000 x 4)

Total Cost          $36,000

Difference between the two options = $11,300 ($36,000 - $24,700
