1. What is the y-inter slope of the graph? What does it mean in terms of this situation?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1. the y-intercept is 9.5 and it means the starting length of the candle

2. the slope is -1/2 and it means that the candle burns 1/2 an inch every hour

3. it burns an inch every 2 hours, it is 9.5 inches long, so 19 hours it'll take to burn.

Finding a polynomial of a given degree with given zeros

galben [10]

Since f(x) is a polynomial with 3rd degree, then it will have 3 roots (zeroes)

One of them is real and the other two are complex conjugate roots

Since the real root is 4, then

x = 4

Since the complex root is (1 - i), then

The other root will be the conjugate of it (1 + i)

x = (1 - i)

x = (1 + i)

To find f(x) we will multiply the three factors of it

We can get the factors from the zeroes

$x=4$

Subtract 4 from both sides

$\begin{gathered} x-4=4-4 \\ x-4=0 \end{gathered}$

The first factor is (x - 4)

$\begin{gathered} x=1-i \\ x-(1-i)=(1-i)-(1-i) \\ x-1+i=0 \end{gathered}$

The second factor is (x - 1 + i)

The third factor is (x - 1 - i)

$f(x)=(x-4)(x-1+i)(x-1-i)$

We will multiply them to find f(x)

$\begin{gathered} (x-1+i)(x-1-i)= \\ x^2-x-ix-x+1+i+ix-i-(i^2)= \\ x^2-2x+1-(-1)= \\ x^2-2x+1+1= \\ x^2-2x+2 \end{gathered}$

Multiply it by (x - 4)

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=(x-4)(x^2-2x+2) \\ f(x)=x^3-2x^2+2x-4x^2+8x-8 \\ f(x)=x^3-6x^2+10x-8 \end{gathered}$

The answer is

$f(x)=x^3-6x^2+10x-8$

The area of a rectanglular sandbox is (5x + 40) feet. Factor 5x + 40 to find possible dimensions of the sandbox

kotegsom [21]

5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40

Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.

We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.
