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

The rectangle below has an area of x^2 - 6x - 7 square meters and a width of x - 7 meters.
monitta

Answer:

x+1 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length * Width

x^2 - 6x - 7 = length * (x-7)

x^2 + x - 7x - 7 = length * ( x-7)

x*(x+1) - 7*(x+1) = length * (x-7)

(x-7)*(x+1) = length * (x-7)

x+1 = length [for (x-7) not equal 0]

What is a two variable linear equation
True [87]

Answer: Linear equations in two variables. If a, b, and r are real numbers (and if a and b are not both equal to 0) then ax+by = r is called a linear equation in two variables. (The “two variables” are the x and the y.) The numbers a and b are called the coefficients of the equation ax+by = r.
