How many and of which kind of roots does the equation

Mathematics
1 answer:
Yakvenalex [24]3 years ago

Answer:

D. 1 real; 4 complex  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the total number of roots

The fundamental theorem of algebra states that any polynomial of degree n has n roots.

Your polynomial is fifth degree, so it has five roots.

2. Calculate the number of real roots

We can use Descartes' rule of signs to determine the number of real roots:

The number of positive real roots is the same as the number of changes in the sign of the coefficients of ƒ(x) or less than by an even number.

The number of negative real roots is the same as the number of changes in sign of the coefficients of the terms of f(-x) or less than this by an even number.

(a) Number of positive real roots

The coefficients of ƒ(x) are

+1 +3 +8 +14 +16 + 8  

There are no changes of sign, so there are no positive real roots.

(b) Number of negative real roots

(i) Find f(-x)

f(-x) = -x⁵+ 3x⁴ - 8x³ + 14x² - 16x + 8

(ii) Count the changes of sign

The coefficients of f(-x) are

-1 ∥ +3 ∥ -8 ∥+14 ∥ -16 ∥ +8

There are five changes of sign.

Thus, the number of negative roots is five, three, or one.

So far, we know that we have five roots. None is positive, and there could be one, three, or five negative real roots.

3. Confirm by sketching the graph

The real roots are the points at which the graph crosses or touches the x-axis.

The graph (see below) crosses the x-axis at only one point.

Thus. we have

  • one real root (negative)
  • four complex roots

Question 6: please help me out here :(((
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

m∠1 = 106

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: m∠5 = 106

Vertical angles are congruent

The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent.

Therefore: m∠1 = 106

A rectangular box is to have a square base and a volume of 40 ft3. If the material for the base costs $0.36/ft2, the material fo
blagie [28]

Answer:

  • length: 2 ft
  • width: 2 ft
  • height: 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the top and bottom is $0.36 + 0.14 = $0.50 per square foot.

The total cost of a pair of opposite sides is $0.05 +0.05 = $0.10 per square foot.

A minimum-cost box will have the cost of any pair of opposite sides be the same. Here, that means the box will have a side area that is 5 times the area of the top or bottom.

Since the base is square, that means the box is the shape of 5 cubes stacked one on the other. Each of those would be 8 ft³, so would have edge dimensions of ∛8 = 2 feet. The height is 5 times that, or 10 ft.

The box is 2 feet square by 10 feet high:

  • length: 2 ft
  • width: 2 ft
  • height: 10 ft

_____

If you feel the need to write an equation, you can let x represent the edge length of the base. Then the cost of the top and bottom will be ...

  top&bottom cost = 0.50·x²

The height of the box is 40/x², so the cost of the four sides will be ...

  side cost = (0.05)(4x)(40/x²) = 8/x

This is minimized when the derivative of the sum of these costs is zero:

  cost = top&bottom cost + side cost

  cost = 0.50x² + 8/x

  d(cost)/dx = 1.00x -8/x² = 0

Multiplying by x², we get ...

  x³ -8 = 0

  x = ∛8 = 2 . . . . . . as above

  height = 40/x² = 40/4 = 10 . . . . . as above
