We want to find the zeros of this polynomial p(x)= ( x^2-1)(x^2-5x+6)

Mathematics

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros let p(x) = 0 , that is

(x² - 1)(x² - 5x + 6) = 0

Factorise each factor

x² - 1 ← is a difference of squares and factors as (x - 1)(x + 1)

x² - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3), thus

(x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

The zeros are x = ± 1, x = 2, x = 3

Which function has the largest y - intercept?
lesantik [10]
F(x) is a quadratic. The y intercept, therefore, is equal to the c value.
The y intercept here is -4.
For g(x), you can tell that the y intercept is 0 because that's the value of y when the x value is 0.
For h(x), the chart specifies that when x=0, y=-2, so the y intercept is -2.
Of these three values, 0 is the largest.
Final answer: g(x)

7 qt. of a 27% saline solution was mixed
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

24% saline

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how much saline is in both solutions:

7(0.27)

= 1.89

3(0.17)

= 0.51

Add this together:

1.89 + 0.51

= 2.4

Since there are 10 quarts in total, the concentration of the mixture can be found by dividing 2.4 by 10:

2.4/10

= 0.24

So, the concentration of the mixture is 24% saline
