Answer:

x = -5/2    x=1      x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = 2x^3 + 5x^2 – 2x – 5

Use factor by grouping

p(x) = 2x^3 + 5x^2       – 2x – 5

Factor x^2 from the first group and -1 from the second group

    x^2(2x +5) -1( 2x+5)

Then factor out 2x+5

p(x) = (2x+5) (x^2-1)

Factor x^2 -1 as the difference of squares

p(x) = (2x+5)(x-1)(x+1)

Set to zero to find the x intercepts

0 = (2x+5)(x-1)(x+1)

Using the zero product property

2x+5 =0    x-1 =0   x+1 =0

2x = -5        x=1       x=-1

x = -5/2    x=1      x = -1

Answer:

The zeroes are (-1,0), (1, 0) and (-5/2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the zeroes by factoring:

2x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x - 5 = 0  

x^2(2x + 5) - 1(2x + 5) = 0

(x^2 - 1)(2x + 5) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 1)(2x + 5) = 0

So x = -1, 1, -5/2.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

4.7 feet³ of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of 4 feet

Radius = 2 feet

Height = 0.75 feet

Formula for Volume = 2·\pi·radius·height

But she only wants to fill half, so divide by 2, cancels the 2 in the formula for volume, giving us: \pi·radius·height

\pi·2·0.75 = 4.71 feet³
