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.

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the radical expression?
qwelly [4]
The correct answer is B) m^{2/3}n^{5/3}. 

The denominator of the exponent is the root we are taking.  The numerator is the exponent of the radicand.  This means 3 will be the denominator, since it is a cubed root, and 2 will be the numerator of m while 5 will be the numerator of n.

If (a-2)^2+(b+1)^2+(c-3)2 =0 then the value of a^2/4+b^2+c^2/3
almond37 [142]

The correct answer is 2. a = 1/2, b = - 3, c = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided for an answering the question correctly:

0 =1/2x^2- 3x- 2

0 = 1/2x² - 3x - 2

2. Let's find the values for a, b and c.

According to the quadratic equation, we have:

a = 1/2

b = - 3

c = - 2

The correct answer is 2. a = 1/2, b = - 3, c = -2
