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.

It costs 4 tokens to park in a garage for an hour. how many hours can you park with 30 tokens?
babunello [35]

Read the question carefully: it costs 4 tokens to park in a garage for an hour.

We will apply the unitary method to solve this question

It costs 4 tokens to park in a garage for 1 hour

Find how many hours can park in a garage for 1 token

If it costs 4 token to park in a garage for 1 hour

Then it will cost 1 token to park in a garage for 1/4 hour

Step2:

With 20 token we can park in a garage for (1/4) * 20

= 5 hours

So, we can park for 5 hours with 20 tokens.

Another method

If we take twenty tokens and divide them into groups of four, we will find that we are left with five groups of tokens. Each group of tokens represents an hour of parking time. This will give us five groups, or five hours, total.

So, we can park for 5 hours with 20 tokens
