What are the possible number of positive real, negative real, and complex zeros of f(x) = 4x3 + x2 + 10x – 14?

1 answer:

5 0

f(0) = -14 is easy to calculate. You can actually note that other than -14, every coefficient are positive, so f will be increasing for x > 0 and it will eventually hit zero, turn positive, and continue on getting larger. So it has exactly 1 positive real root. So this means that it only has exactly 1 positive real root and these would be the possible numbers of positive real, negative real, and complex zeros of f(x) = 4x3 + x2 + 10x – 14.

Positive Real: 1.

Negative Real: 2 or 0.

Complex: 2 or 0 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

What is the momentum of 200kg portable if it travels 50 meters in 5seconds

kvasek [131]

Momentum = mass * velocity

50 meters in 5 seconds = 50/5 = 10 m / second

Required momentum = 200*10 = 2,000

I cant remember how to write the units for this.

Determine the x and y intercepts

kakasveta [241]

Answer:
x-intercepts: (2,0), (4,0)
y-intercepts: (0,-8)

Explanation:
To find the x intercept(s), you must compute where y=0. So solve 0= -x^2 + 6x - 8. So, the x intercepts are: (2,0) and (4,0) since the solutions to the mentioned equation are x=2 and x=4. To find the y intercept(s) compute what is y when x=0. In this case, when x=0, y=-8. So the only y intercept is (0,-8).
