ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  2

Step-by-step explanation:

You know 0, 1, and -1 are not roots, because the constant is not 0 and the coefficients don't add to 0, even when negating the ones of odd-degree terms.

When evaluating polynomials by hand, it often works well to write them in "Horner form."

  P(x) = ((-2x +1)x +4)x +4

  P(2) = ((-2·2 +1)2 +4)2 +4 = (-3·2 +4)2 +4 = -2·2 +4

  P(2) = 0

2 is a root of P(x).

I like a graphing calculator for questions like this. It can give an answer instantly. (The equation was pasted directly from the question into the calculator, so the solution took 2 clicks and 2 keystrokes.)

Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer.
LekaFEV [45]
The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.

For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to: (x-3)(x+4)=0

Through zero property we know that the factor (x-3) can be equal to zero as well as (x+4). This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.

The zero product property is best applied to factorable quadratic equations in this case.

Another factorable equation would be 2x^{2}+6x=0 since we can factor out 2x and end up with 2x(x+3)=0. Now we'll end up with two factors, 2x and (x+3), which we can apply the zero product property to.

The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.

Choose yes or no to tell whether the expression represents a 20% discount off the price of an item that originally costs d dolla
tester [92]

Answer:

Option A and C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount is defined as a reduced price on something being sold or at a price lower than that item is normally sold for.

For a 20% discount,

Given:

Initial prices = $ d

Discounted price = % discount × original/initial cost

= 20/100 × d

= 0.2 × d

Selling price = original cost - discounted price

= d - 0.2d

= 0.8 × d

= 0.8d

What is solution to this system of equations? x + 4y = 12 and x = 0<br>PLSSS hurry​
Margaret [11]

Answer:

x=0 and y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=0, then we can just plug that value into the other equation and solve for y:

x+4y=12

0+4y=12

4y=12

y=3

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=0 and y=3
