The first reaction represented is a decomposition reaction due to the fact the bonded pair are being split apart.
The second equation is a single displacement because the B and C have switched places, which is the only change making it a single displacement. If there had been another bond and A had also moved, it would be double.
Divine the total number of the entire chart by the number of a single line or bar to give you the ratio in a bar or line chart. For example, if a bar or line represented 5 in a chart with a total of 30, you would divide 30 by 5. This would give you a result of 6. Therefore, the ratio would be 6:1.
-0.183 = -0.183 / 1
Numerator = -0.183 × 10 × 10 × 10 = -183
Denominator = 1 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
Numerator / Denominator = -183 / 1000
Our simplified fraction is:
= -183/1000
We can write this as:-
P(x) = + x^3 - 5x^2 - 25x + 125
There are 2 changes of real sign so by Descartes Rule of signs there are either 2 positive real roots or 0 positive roots.
P(-x) = - x^3 - 5x^2 + 25x + 125
There is just one change of sign so there is exactly 1 real negative root.
125 is a multiple of 5 so By rational root theorem 5 could be a positive root.
P(5) = 125 - 125 - 125 + 125 = 0 so one zero is 5
if we divide the polynomial by (x - 5) we get the quadratic
x^2 - 25
(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
x = 5,-5
so the roots are 5 (multiplicity 2) and -5.
2 real positive zeroes and one real negative zero
