Answer:

  2. ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±9, ±12, ±18, ±36

  3. see below for synthetic division

  4. complex roots: ±3i

  5. see the second attachment for a graph (has no symmetry)

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The Rational Root Theorem tells you possible rational roots are the form of ...

  ±(divisor of constant term) / (divisor of leading coefficient)

Here, we're lucky in that the leading coefficient is 1. The constant is 36, and its divisors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36. Possible rational roots, according to the Rational Root Theorem are ...

  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±9, ±12, ±18, ±36

__

3. When actually searching for possible roots, it is useful to narrow down this list of 18 candidates. We can do this using Descarte's Rule of Signs and a couple of other simple tests. The rule of signs has us look at the signs of the coefficients. They are ...

  + + + + +

There are no sign changes, hence <em>no positive real roots</em>. This means we're looking at negative roots only.

We know that p(0) = 36, the constant term. We can evaluate p(-1) simply, by reversing the signs of the odd-degree coefficients and adding them up:

  1 -4 +13 -36 +36 = 10

So p(0) = 36 and p(-1) = 10. The average rate of change is -26, so we expect p(-2) to be zero or less. That value (-2) may be a good first choice for a possible root.

The synthetic division for the root -2 is shown in the first attachment. It shows a remainder of 0, so -2 is a root. The polynomial with the corresponding factor divided out is ...

  q(x) = x^3 +2x^2 +9x +18

__

We can apply the above steps to this polynomial. It will have no positive real roots. The value of q(0) is 18, and the value of q(-1) is -1 +2 -9 +18 = 10. The average rate of change between these points is (18 -10)/(0 -(-1)) = 8, so we expect the function to be zero or negative between x=-2 and x=-3.

Further, we observe that the ratio of the first two coefficients is 1 : 2, the same as the 9 : 18 ratio of the last two coefficients. This suggests we can factor this polynomial by "grouping."

  q(x) = (x^3 +2x^2) +(9x +18) = x^2(x +2) +9(x +2) = (x^2 +9)(x +2)

So, without doing any more synthetic division, we have found a second root at x = -2. This means -2 is a double root.

Our factorization so far is ...

  p(x) = (x +2)^2(x^2 +9)

__

4. The remaining polynomial factor (x^2 +9) has only complex roots:

  x^2 +9 = 0

  x^2 = -9

  x = ±√(-9)

  x = ±3i . . . . the complex roots

__

5. The graph is shown in the second attachment, along with the graph of the final quadratic factor.

The leading coefficient is positive and p(x) is of even degree, so it will have a general U shape, going to +∞ for large positive and negative values of x.

Since x = -2 is a double root, the graph touches the x-axis there, but does not cross it.

The graph of p(x) shows no symmetry.

______

<em>Comment on the graph</em>

With modern graphing calculator software it is entirely feasible to start by graphing the polynomial, then reading the (rational) roots from the graph. The same calculator can effectively divide out those roots. If the result is a quadratic, its vertex form equation can be read from the graph, making it easy to find any additional real or complex roots.

This graph shows ...

  p(x) = (x +2)^2·q(x)

  q(x) = x^2 +9

A pharmacist has 30% and 60% iodine solutions on hand. How many liters of each iodine solution will be required to produce 6 lit
kkurt [141]

Answer:

4 liters of 60% solution; 2 liters of 30% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to use a simple, but effective, tool for most mixture problems. It is a kind of "X" diagram as in the attachment.

The ratios of solution concentrations are 3:6:5, so I've used those numbers in the diagram. The constituent solutions are on the left; the desired mixture is in the middle, and the numbers on the other legs of the X are the differences along the diagonals: 6 - 5 = 1; 5 - 3 = 2. This tells you the ratio of 60% solution to 30% solution is 2 : 1.

These ratio units (2, 1) add to 3. We want 6 liters of mixture, so we need to multiply these ratio units by 2 liters to get the amounts of constituents needed. The result is 4 liters of 60% solution and 2 liters of 30% solution.

_____

If you're writing equations, it often works well to let the variable represent the quantity of the greatest contributor—the 60% solution. Let the volume of that (in liters) be represented by v. Then the total volume of iodine in the mixture is ...

... 0.60·v + 0.30·(6 -v) = 0.50·6

... 0.30v = 0.20·6 . . . . subtract 0.30·6, collect terms

... v = 6·(0.20/0.30) = 4 . . . . divide by the coefficient of v

4 liters of 60% solution are needed. The other 2 liters are 30% solution.

Which expression can be used to find 532 divided by 4?
user100 [1]

C: (500 divided by 4)+(30 divided by 4)+2

Expanded form or expanded notation is a way of writing numbers to see the math value of individual digits. When numbers are separated into individual place values and decimal places they can also form a mathematical expression. 532 ÷ 4 in expanded notation form is (500 divided by 4)+(30 divided by 4)+2
