Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Descartes' rule of signs, we observe that the signs of the coefficients, + - +, have two changes. Thus there will be 0 or 2 positive real roots, hence 0 or 2 complex roots.

We can do further work to determine if it is 0 or 2. A graphing calculator provides an easy answer.

This function of x has <em>no complex zeros</em>. They are all real.

_____

For a cubic, it isn't always easy to find the zeros. The rational root theorem tells you any rational zeros will be factors of 30. Possibilities are ...

  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±5, ±6 . . . . . we're pretty sure no roots have magnitude > 6

For x=0, y = 30 . . . . the constant

For x=1, y = 12 . . . . . a smaller value, so we're going in the right direction

For x=2, y = 0 . . . . . one of the real roots

Dividing out this factor*, we get ...

  y = (x -2)(x^2 +2x -15)

Factoring the quadratic gives ...

  y = (x -2)(x -3)(x +5) . . . . . . all real zeros

_____

* For dividing x^3 -19x +30, synthetic division works well. The work for that is shown in the second attachment.

If log(x + y) = log 3 + ½log x + ½log y, prove that x² + y² = 7xy​
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x + y) = log3 +  \frac{1}{2} logx+  \frac{1}{2} logy \\  \\ log(x + y) = log3 +    logx ^{\frac{1}{2}} +   logy ^{\frac{1}{2}}\\  \\  log(x + y) = log3 +    log(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\  \\ log(x + y) =  log[3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}}] \\  \\ x + y = 3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \\  \\ squaring \: both \: sides \\  {(x + y)}^{2}  =  \bigg(3(xy) ^{\frac{1}{2}} \bigg)^{2}  \\  \\  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  + 2xy = 9xy \\  \\  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 9xy - 2xy \\  \\   \purple{ \bold{{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}  = 7xy}} \\ thus \: proved
