Solution,

Given; x^3-7x^2-x+7=0

Using factor theorem,

we have,

i)x^3-7x^2-x+7=0

let's check whether 1 is the factor of given equation or not by replacing the value of x by one..

or, 1^3-7.1^2-1+7=0

or, 1-7-1+7=0(.°. Cancellation of +1&-1 and +7&-7 in equation)

.°.0=0

which proves that 1 is one of the factor of x

therefore(x-1) is a factor of x^3-7x^2-x+7=0.

Now,

Expanding the x^3-7x^2-x+7=0 to get (x-1) as a factor...

ii)x^3-7x^2-x+7=0

or,x^3-x^2-6x^2+6x-7x+7

or,x^2(x-1) - 6x(x-1) - 7(x-1) = 0

or,(x-1) (x^2-6x-7)w = 0

or,,(x-1) (x^2-(7-1)x-7) =0

or,,(x-1) (x^2-7x + x -7) =0

or,(x-1) [x(x-7)+1(x-7)] = 0

or,(x-1) (x+1) (x-7) = 0

Either,

i) x - 1=0

.°.x = 1

And,

ii)x + 1 = 0

.°. x = -1

Or,

iii) x - 7 = 0

.°.x =7

Hence, the required value of x are -1 ,+1 & 7.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = -1/3x+4 and passes through the point (6,5)
inn [45]

Answer:

\sf y =\dfrac{-1}{3}x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line: y =mx +b

 Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines have same slope.

            \sf y =\dfrac{-1}{3}x + 4

     So, the slope of the required line = -1/3

Equation of the required line:  

                \sf y =\dfrac{-1}{3}x + b

Point(6,5) goes through the line. substitute x = 6 and y =5 in the above equation and then we can find the value of y-intercept 'b'

    \sf 5 =\dfrac{-1}{3}*6 +b\\\\     5 = -2 + b\\\\5+2  = b\\\\\boxed{b = 7}

Equation of the require line:

           \sf \boxed{\bf y =\dfrac{-1}{3}x+7}

What is the inverse of the function
cluponka [151]

Answer:

y = (x - 1) / 2            (First answer choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Start with f(x) = 2x + 1

2) Replace f(x) with y:  y = 2x + 1

3) Interchange x and y:  x = 2y + 1

4) Solve this result for y:  2y = x - 1, or y = (x - 1) / 2       (This matches the first                      

                                                                                          answer choice.)

Find equation where line passes through (7,8) and perpendicular to line y=8
forsale [732]
Since in y=8, the slope is 0 (because there is no x) and b is 8 in y=mx+b, we know that the perpendicular line is x=(something) because the perpendicular lines of y=<number> are x=<number> due to that y=<number> equations are strictly horizontal while x=<number> equations are strictly vertical. Since we know that x=<number> has to pass through (7, 8), x =7
