Find all zeros. One zero had been give

Mathematics

Answer:

The three zeros of the original function f(x) are {-1/2, -3, -5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Synthetic division" is the perfect tool for approaching this problem.    Long div. would also "work."

Use -5 as the first divisor in synthetic division:

      ------------------------

-5    2     17    38    15

              -10  -35   -15

       --------------------------

         2      7     3     0

Note that there's no remainder here.  That tells us that -5 is indeed a zero of the given function.  We can apply synthetic div. again to the remaining three coefficients, as follows:

     -------------

-3    2     7    3

             -6   -3

     -----------------

        2     1     0

Note that the '3' in    2   7   3 tells me that -3, 3, -1 or 1 may be an additional zero.  As luck would have it, using -3 as a divisor (see above) results in no remainder, confirming that -3 is the second zero of the original function.

That leaves the coefficients 2   1.  This corresponds to 2x + 1 = 0, which is easily solved for x:

If 2x + 1 = 0, then 2x = -1, and x = -1/2.

Thus, the three zeros of the original function f(x) are {-1/2, -3, -5}.

Evaluate the function:<br><br> f(x)=4x−1, find f(9)
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

f(9) = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you can take 9 and replace both x's with it and then complete the equation;

f(x) = 4x - 1

f(9) = 4(9) - 1

f(9) = 36 - 1

f(9) = 35

Hope this helps!

Hey there!!

Given equation :

( x - 1 ) / 4 = ( x + 2 ) / 3

First step we will need to take is to cross-multiply. In cross-multiplication, we will have t multiply the denominator with the numerator on both the sides. In this case, we will have to multiply 4 with x + 2 and 3 with x - 1.

... 4 ( x + 2 ) = 3 ( x - 1 )

... 4x + 8 = 3x - 3

Subtract 3x on both sides.

... x + 8 = -3

Subtract 8 on both sides

... x = - 11

Hope my answer helps!
