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

Special right triangles: what is the value of x? enter your answer in the box.
tiny-mole [99]
I think you meant to add more to your question (posting the specific problem).
In general, one special right triangle is the <span>45°-45°-90° triangle, in which both legs are congruent and the hypotenuse = √2 * the length of the leg. if you happen to not have the length of the leg, the formula for finding the leg is:  leg = hypotenuse / √2

Another special right triangle is the </span><span>30°-60°-90° triangle. With this kind of triangle the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the longer leg is √3 times the length of the shorter leg.
hypotenuse = 2 * shorter leg
longer leg = √3 * shorter leg</span>

The perimeter of a rectangular pen is 136 meters. If the length is 5 meters more than twice the width, what are the dimensions o
Sati [7]

Answer: width = 21, length = 47

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

Length (L) = 2w + 5

width (w) = w

Perimeter (P) = 136

P = 2L + 2w

136 = 2(2w + 5) + 2w    <em>substituted the given values above</em>

136 = 4w + 10 + 2w       <em>distributed 2 on the right side</em>

136 = 6w + 10                <em>added like terms (4w and 2w)</em>

126 = 6w                       <em>subtracted 10 from both sides</em>

 21 = w                          <em>divided both sides by 6</em>

Length (L) = 2w + 5

                 = 2(21) + 5

                 = 42 + 5

                  = 47

25/12.5 = 40/y
cross multiply
(25)(y) = (12.5)(40)
25y = 500
y = 500/25
