Mathematics
1 answer:
Sonbull [250]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

This is an geometric sequence because the common ratio is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2*-2=4

4*-2=-8

-8*-2=16

So, as we are seeing that the common ratio is -2, so this is an geometric sequence.

1.What are the zeros of the polynomial function?
Lorico [155]
Let's to the first example:

f(x) = x^2 + 9x + 20

Ussing the formula of basckara

a = 1
b = 9
c = 20

Delta = b^2 - 4ac

Delta = 9^2 - 4.(1).(20)

Delta = 81 - 80

Delta = 1

x = [ -b +/- √(Delta) ]/2a

Replacing the data:

x = [ -9 +/- √1 ]/2

x' = (-9 -1)/2 <=> - 5

Or

x" = (-9+1)/2 <=> - 4
_______________

Already the second example:

f(x) = x^2 -4x -60

Ussing the formula of basckara again

a = 1
b = -4
c = -60

Delta = b^2 -4ac

Delta = (-4)^2 -4.(1).(-60)

Delta = 16 + 240

Delta = 256

Then, following:

x = [ -b +/- √(Delta)]/2a

Replacing the information

x = [ -(-4) +/- √256 ]/2

x = [ 4 +/- 16]/2

x' = (4-16)/2 <=> -6

Or

x" = (4+16)/2 <=> 10
______________

Now we are going to the 3 example

x^2 + 24 = 14x

Isolating 14x , but changing the sinal positive to negative

x^2 - 14x + 24 = 0

Now we can to apply the formula of basckara

a = 1
b = -14
c = 24

Delta = b^2 -4ac

Delta = (-14)^2 -4.(1).(24)

Delta = 196 - 96

Delta = 100

Then we stayed with:

x = [ -b +/- √Delta ]/2a

x = [ -(-14) +/- √100 ]/2

We wiil have two possibilities

x' = ( 14 -10)/2 <=> 2

Or

x" = (14 +10)/2 <=> 12
________________


To the last example will be the same thing.

f(x) = x^2 - x -72

a = 1
b = -1
c = -72

Delta = b^2 -4ac

Delta = (-1)^2 -4(1).(-72)

Delta = 1 + 288

Delta = 289

Then we are going to stay:

x = [ -b +/- √Delta]/2a

x = [ -(-1) +/- √289]/2

x = ( 1 +/- 17)/2

We will have two roots

That's :

x = (1 - 17)/2 <=> -8

Or

x = (1+17)/2 <=> 9


Well, this would be your answers.

Please help!!! Brainliest for whoever is right! What is the sum of the rational expressions below?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

<h2>\frac{5 {x}^{2} + 5x + 3 }{3 {x}^{2}  + 3x}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2x + 3}{3x}  +  \frac{x}{ x + 1}

Write all the numerators above the least common denominator

\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3) + 3 {x}^{2} }{3x(x + 1)}

Multiply the parentheses

\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 3x + 2x + 3 + 3 {x}^{2}  }{3x(x + 1)}

Distribute 3x through the parentheses

\frac{2 {x}^{2}  + 3x + 2x + 3 + 3 {x}^{2} }{3 {x}^{2}  + 3x}

Collect like terms=\frac{5 {x}^{2} + 5x + 3 }{3 {x}^{2} + 3 x}

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
