Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
f(x) = 8x³ - 6x² - 36x + 27
For zeros of the function,
f(x) = 0
8x³ - 6x² - 36x + 27 = 0
2x²(4x - 3) - 9(4x - 3) = 0
(2x² - 9)(4x - 3) = 0
(2x² - 9) = 0
x² = 
x = 
x = 
Or (4x - 3) = 0
x = 
Therefore, all zeros of the given functions are
.
Answer:
Here we have the function:
y = f(x) = 3^x
Using the values:
x and (x + 1)
We need to find that the y-value increases by a factor of 3.
So we need to prove that:
f(x + 1) = 3*f(x).
Or we can see the quotient:
f(x + 1)/f(x) = 3
Here we can find the values:
f(x + 1) = y = 3^(x + 1)
f(x) = y' = 3^x
If we take the quotient, we get:

Here we can use the properties:


Using these in the quotient equation we get:

Then:


So we found that the y-value increases by a factor of 3 between any two points x₂ and x₁ such that: x₂ - x₁ = 1.
To put this into simpler terms, well simplier for me anyways, Emma is dividing 9 inches of paper into 2/5, or .4, inches of paper.
That being said, we now just need to divide 9 by 2/5 or .4
We get 22.5
So Emma will be able to make 22 strips since we can't have half a strip. (Well, we could, but it would be small than what we need)
Any questions?
Work shown above! Hope ya understand!
