Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x=1, \ \ x=2+5i, \ \ x=2-5i \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

I assume that we are working in \mathbb{C}, otherwise there is only one zero which is 1. Please consider the following.

First of all, <u>we can notice that 1 is a trivial solution</u> as

   p(1) = 1^3-5\cdot 1^2 + 33\cdot 1-29=1-5+33-29=0

It means that (x-1) is a factor of p(x) so we can find two real numbers, a and b, so that we can write the following.

p(x)=(x-1)(x^2+ax+b)=x^3+ax^2+bx-x^2-ax-b=x^3+(a-1)x^2+(b-a)x-b

Let's identify like terms as below.

a-1 = -5 <=> a = -5 + 1 = -4

b-a = 33

-b = -29 <=> b = 29

So

\boxed{ \ p(x)=(x-1)(x^2-4x+29) \ }

Now, we need to find the zeroes of the second factor, meaning finding x so that:

x^2-4x+29=0 \ \text{ complete the square, 29 = 25 + 4}  \\ \\  x^2-2\cdot 2 \cdot x+2^2+25=0 \\ \\ (x-2)^2=-25=(5i)^2 \ \text{ take the root } \\ \\x-2=\pm 5i \ \text{ add 2 } \\ \\  x = 2+5i \ \text{ or } \ x = 2-5i

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

What is the equation of this trend line?
solmaris [256]

Equation of this line is K = -2J + 28

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

The equation can be written in slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

Step 2:

Calculate slope of the line, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

⇒ m = (24 - 20)/(2 - 4) = 4/-2) = -2

Step 3:

Find y-intercept of the line

⇒ b = 28

Step 4:

Substitute values in the equation

⇒ K = -2J + 28

HELP ME PLEASE!!! The function f(x) is graphed on the coordinate plane. What is f(−2) ? Enter your answer in the box. f(−2) =
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

f(-2)=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

x -----> is the independent variable or input value

f(x) ---> is the dependent variable or output value

f(-2) is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to -2

so

For x=-2

Looking at the graph

f(-2)=-2

For an input value of -2 the output value is -2

The length of a rectangular swimming pool is twice as long as its width. If the perimeter of the pool is
Nitella [24]

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its sides, which are two widths and two lengths:

p=w+w+l+l

Since the length is twice the width, we have l=2w, and the formula for the perimeter becomes

p=w+w+2w+2w=6w

So, we have

6w=120 \iff w=\dfrac{120}{6}=20

If f(x-3)=x^2-4x+5, what's f(1-x)​
olganol [36]

Answer:

\large\boxed{f(1-x)=x^2-4x+5}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x-3)=x^2-4x+5\\\\f((x-3)+3)\to\text{put x + 3 to the equation of the function:}\\\\f(x-3+3)=(x+3)^2-4(x+3)+5\\\text{use the distributive property and}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\f(x)=x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2+(-4)(x)+(-4)(3)+5\\f(x)=x^2+6x+9-4x-12+5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\f(x)=x^2+(6x-4x)+(9-12+5)\\f(x)=x^2+2x+2\\\\f(1-x)\to\text{put 1 - x to the equation of the funtion f(x):}\\\\f(1-x)=(1-x)^2+2(1-x)+2\\\text{use the distributive property and}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

f(1-x)=1^2-2(1)(x)+x^2+(2)(1)+(2)(-x)+2\\f(1-x)=1-2x+x^2+2-2x+2\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\f(1-x)=x^2+(-2x-2x)+(1+2+2)\\f(1-x)=x^2-4x+5
