Answer: x = {-3, -1, 1, 7}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

f(x) = x⁴ - 4x³ - 22x² + 4x + 21

possible roots are: +/- 1, 3, 7, 21

Let's try x = 1

1  |  1     -4     -22       4       21

  <u>|  ↓      1       -3     -25     -21 </u>

     1     -3      -25    -21       0     <em>remainder is 0 so (x - 1) is a factor</em>

(x - 1)(x³ - 3x² - 25x - 21)

Next, let's try x = -1

-1  |  1     -3     -25      -21

   <u>|  ↓     -1        4        21 </u>

      1     -4      -21       0     <em>remainder is 0 so (x + 1) is a factor</em>

(x - 1)(x + 1)(x² - 4x - 21)

Then, factor the third polynomial

(x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)(x - 7)

Now, set each factor equal to zero and solve each one.

(x - 1) = 0    ⇒     x = 1

(x + 1) = 0   ⇒     x = -1

(x + 3) = 0   ⇒    x = -3

(x - 7) = 0   ⇒     x = 7

Answer:

<em>-3, -1, 1, 7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the function at each x value in the choices. If the polynomial evaluates to zero, then that x value is a solution.

f(-3) = (-3)^4 - 4(-3)^3 - 22(-3)^2 + 4(-3) + 21 = 0

x = -3 is a solution

f(-1) = (-1)^4 - 4(-1)^3 - 22(-1)^2 + 4(-1) + 21 = 0

x = -1 is a solution

f(0) = (0)^4 - 4(0)^3 - 22(0)^2 + 4(0) + 21 = 21

x = 0 is not a solution

f(1) = (1)^4 - 4(1)^3 - 22(1)^2 + 4(1) + 21 = 0

x = 1 is a solution

f(3) = (3)^4 - 4(3)^3 - 22(3)^2 + 4(3) + 21 = -192

x = 3 is not a solution

f(7) = (7)^4 - 4(7)^3 - 22(7)^2 + 4(7) + 21 = 0

x = 7 is a solution

5. Solve each equation.<br>a.<br>6(3x - 5) - 7x = 25​
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(3x−5)−7x=25

(6)(3x)+(6)(−5)+−7x=25(Distribute)

18x+−30+−7x=25

(18x+−7x)+(−30)=25(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−30=25

11x−30=25

Step 2: Add 30 to both sides.

11x−30+30=25+30

11x=55

Step 3: Divide both sides by 11.

x=5

Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes in 15 minutes. While Byron fills the drying rack, Emmitt takes dishes out of the drying
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Hi!

The correct answer is d) 1 over 15 minus 1 over x equals x over 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes: 15 minutes.

We know the amount of time that Byron can fill a drying rack with dishes while Emmitt is taking dishes out of the drying rack: 35 minutes.

We don't know the amount of time that Emmitt can take dishes out of the drying rack: x minutes.

So, if Byron is filling the drying rack in 15 minutes and Emmitt is taking out the dishes at x minutes, it takes 35 minutes to fill the drying rack.

\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{35} <em>// multiply by 105x both sides.</em>

105x\frac{1}{15}-105x\frac{1}{x} =105x \frac{1}{35} <em>// simplifly</em>

7x - 105 = 3x<em> //substract 3x and add 105 in both sides</em>

7x - 3x - 105 + 105 = 3x - 3x + 105 <em>// solve</em>

4x =  105 <em>//</em> <em>divide by 4 in both sides</em>

\frac{4x}{4} =  \frac{105}{4} <em>// solve</em>

x =  26.25

It makes sense that Byron fills the rack faster than Emmitt empties the rack.
