Answer:

The actual root of f(x) is -5/2 (first option)

Step-by-step explanation:

A root of f(x) is a value of the variable "x" that makes f(x)=0

1) With x=-5/2

f(-5/2)=6(-5/2)^4+5(-5/2)^3-33(-5/2)^2-12(-5/2)+20

f(-5/2)=6(5^4/2^4)+5(-5^3/2^3)-33(5^2/2^2)+6(5)+20

f(-5/2)=6(625/16)-5(125/8)-33(25/4)+30+20

f(-5/2)=3(625/8)-625/8-825/4+50

f(-5/2)=1,875/8-625/8-825/4+50

f(-5/2)=[1,875-625-2(825)+8(50)]/8

f(-5/2)=(1,875-625-1,650+400)/8

f(-5/2)=0/8

f(-5/2)=0 then x=-5/2 is a root of f(x)


2) With x=-2

f(-2)=6(-2)^4+5(-2)^3-33(-2)^2-12(-2)+20

f(-2)=6(2^4)+5(-2^3)-33(2^2)+24+20

f(-2)=6(16)-5(8)-33(4)+44

f(-2)=96-40-132+44

f(-2)=-32 different of 0, then x=-2 is not a root of f(x)


3) With x=1

f(1)=6(1)^4+5(1)^3-33(1)^2-12(1)+20

f(1)=6(1)+5(1)-33(1)-12+20

f(1)=6+5-33+8

f(1)=-14 different of 0, then x=1 is not a root of f(x)


4) With x=10/3

f(10/3)=6(10/3)^4+5(10/3)^3-33(10/3)^2-12(10/3)+20

f(10/3)=6(10^4/3^4)+5(10^3/3^3)-33(10^2/3^2)-4(10)+20

f(10/3)=6(10,000/81)+5(1,000/27)-33(100/9)-40+20

f(10/3)=2(10,000/27)+5,000/27-11(100/3)-20

f(10/3)=20,000/27+5,000/27-1,100/3-20

f(10/3)=[20,000+5,000-9(1,100)-27(20)]/27

f(10/3)=(20,000+5,000-9,900-540)/27

f(10/3)=14,560/27 different of 0, then x=10/3 is not a root of f(x)

Mary and Mike went to the store to buy colored pencils for their science class.mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69,and Mary bought a
sweet-ann [11.9K]

12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69 and Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18

We have to find which is the better buy

First we have to find the unit rate

Unit rate is cost of 1 pack

<em><u>Mike bought a 12-pack for 1.69</u></em>

Therefore,

Cost of 12 pack = 1.69

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 1.69 by 12

cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{1.69}{12} = 0.14083

Thus unit rate of Mike is 0.14083 dollar per pack

<em><u>Mary bought a 24-pack for 3.18</u></em>

Cost of 24 pack = 3.18

Cost of 1 pack is found by dividing 3.18 by 24

cost\ of\ 1\ pack = \frac{3.18}{24} = 0.1325

Thus unit rate of Mary is 0.1325 dollars

<em><u>On comparing both the unit rate</u></em>

0.14083>0.1325

Thus unit rate of Mike is larger

Thus, 12-pack for 1.69 is a better buy
