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

An angle 119 degree is bisected.What is the measure of each resulting angle?
KatRina [158]
When an angle is bisected, it is split into two halves. If the original angle of 119 degrees is bisected, each new angle will equal half of 119, which equals 59.5 degrees.
