use the function to answer the question. f(x)= x^3 + 5x^2 + 7x + 3 = (x+1)(x+1)(x+3) what is the multiplicity of the root -1? I

keep seeing answers for the multiplicity of 1, but not for -1. Thanks!

Since $f(x)=(x+1)^2(x+3)$ it follows that $x=-1$ is a root of multiplicity 2.

What point is 2/3 of the distance from point A(3, 1) to point B(3, 19)?

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer: (3, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let the point be P, then AP:BP=2:1.

$P=\left(\frac{(2)(3)+(1)(3)}{2+1}, \frac{(2)(19)+(1)(1)}{2+1} \right)=(3, 13)$

The common ratio of a geometric series is 3 and the sum of the first 8 terms is 3280.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The first term of the geometric series is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the first term of a geometric series, given the common ratio, and the sum of the first 8 terms.

Mathematically, the sum of terms in a geometric series can be calculated as;

S = a(r^n-1)/( r-1)

where a is the first term that we are looking for

r is the common ratio which is 3 according to the question

n is the number of terms which is 8

S is the sum of the number of terms which is 3280 according to the question

Plugging these values, we have

3280 = a(3^8 -1)/(3-1)

3280 = a( 6561-1)/2

3280 = a(6560)/2

3280 = 3280a

a = 3280/3280

a = 1

May someone please help me out with this problem? May you also explain it?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x) = $\sqrt{x}$

If the given function is vertically stretched by a scale factor of $\frac{3}{2}$ Or 1.5,

Transformed function will be,

h(x) = $\frac{3}{2}[f(x)]$

h(x) = $\frac{3}{2}(\sqrt{x})$

Further function 'h' is shifted 1 units upwards,

g(x) = h(x) + 1

g(x) = $\frac{3}{2}(\sqrt{x} )+1$

Domain of the function → x ≥ 0 Or [0, ∞)

Range of the function → y ≥ 1 Or [1, ∞)

Transformations done → Parent function f(x) is vertically stretched by a scale factor of $\frac{3}{2}$ then shifted 1 unit upward.
