Answer:

The maximum number of turns is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=x^4-x^3+3x+1$

The degree of this polynomial is 4.

If the degree of a given polynomial is n, then the polynomial has at least n-1 turns.

Therefore the number of turns of this 4th degree polynomial is at least 3.

Perimeter of a rectangle is 52 feet. If the length is 10 less than 2 times the width, what is the width?

ella [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x feet.

Therefore, length = 2x - 10

Perimeter of rectangle = 52

$2(2x - 10 + x) = 52 \\ 2(3x - 10) = 52 \\ \therefore \: 3x - 10 = \frac{52}{2} \\ \therefore \: 3x - 10 = 26\\ \therefore \: 3x = 26 + 10\\ \therefore \: 3x = 36 \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{36}{3} \\ \therefore \: x = 12 \\ \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: width \: of \: rectangle = 12 \: feet }}$

30 years ago zoe was 2/3 as old as luke, 18 years ago zoe was 5/6 as old as luke how old are they now

barxatty [35]

Based on the mathematical statements, Zoe is 56 years old and Luke is 66 years old, now

<h3>How to determine how old they are now?</h3>

From the question, we have the following statements that can be used in our computation:

30 years ago

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

18 years ago

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

Let their present ages be represented as

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have the following representations

30 years ago

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

18 years ago

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

So, we have the following system of equations

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

Make x the subject in x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

Substitute x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16 in x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

5/6(y - 18) + 16 - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

Open the brackets

5/6y - 15 + 16 - 36 = 2/3y - 24

Evaluate the like terms

5/6y - 35 = 2/3y - 24

Multiply through by 6

5y - 210 = 4y - 144

Evaluate the like terms

y = 66

Substitute y = 66 in x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

x = 5/6(66 - 18) + 16

Evaluate

x = 56

Recall that

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have

Zoe = x = 56

Luke = y = 66

Hence, they are 56 and 66 years, now
