What are the possible numbers of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = −3x4 −

Mathematics

Answer:

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to look at sign changes in f(x) to determine the possible positive real roots.

f(x)=-3x^4-5x^3-x^2-8x+4

There is only one sign change here, between the -8x and the +4.  So that means there is only 1 possible real positive root.

Now we have to look at sign changes in f(-x) to determine the possible negative real roots.

f(-x)=-3x^4+5x^3-x^2+8x+4

There are 3 sign changes here.  That means there are either 3 negative roots or 3-2 = 1 negative root.  So we have:

1 positive

3 or 1 negative

We need to pair them up now with all the possible combinations.

If we have 1 positive and 1 negative, we have to have 2 imaginary

If we have 1 positive and 3 negative, we have to have 0 imaginary

Keep in mind that the total number or roots--positive, negative, imaginary--have to add up to equal the degree of the polynomial.  This is a 4th degree polynomial, so we will have 4 roots.

What is the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 3x + 5?
OLga [1]
Hello there!

How do you find the y-intercept?

Answer: To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y

y = x² + 3x + 5

y = (0)²  + 3(0) + 5

y = 0 + 0 + 5

y = 5

Thus, the correct answer is option D (0,5)

I really hope this answer is clear enough for you to understand. If you have questions about the answer, please let me know.

As always, I'm glad to be your helper this evening~!

Find the critical value zα/2 that corresponds to a 98% confidence level.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A critical value is the point on the scale of the test statistic (z test in this case) outside which we reject the null hypothesis, and is taken from the level of significance of the test. The critical values can be obtained from the standard distribution tables for z and for this case, it is equivalent to:

critical value zα/2 at 98% confidence level = 2.326

Answer: 2.326
