Answer:

$(a)\ Perimeter = 6l$

$(b)\ Cost = \$36l$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$l \to sides$

Solving (a): The perimeter

The shape has 6 sides; since the sides are equal, the perimeter is:

$Perimeter = 6 * l$

$Perimeter = 6l$

Solving (b): Cost of fencing

We have:

$Unit\ cost = \$6/yd$

So, the cost is:

$Cost = Unit\ cost * Perimeter$

$Cost = \$6/yd * 6l$

$Cost = \$36l$

<em>To get the actual answer, substitute the length of one side of the hexagonal in the calculated expressions</em>

Question1) Describe three scenarios that involve a real-world linear or exponential function. At least one must be exponential.

elixir [45]

Answer:

1) Let's suppose that you go in a straight line, in a car that moves at a constant speed of 80km/h.

Then the distance from your house (assuming that you start the drive in your house) can be modeled with a linear equation:

D(t) = 80km/h*t

where t is time in hours.

This will be a linear function.

2) Suppose that you have a population of some animal, that grows by 2% each month, and initially, there are 100 individuals of that animal.

Then the first month, the population is 100.

The second month the population increased by a 2%, then it will be:

100 + 100*0.02 = 100*(1.02)

The third month, the population will be 100*(1.02) + 0.2*100*(1.02) = 100*(1.02)^2.

and so on, this is an exponential relation, where the population as a function of the number of months, can be written as:

P(m) = 100*(1.02)^(m - 1)

3) Suppose that you have $100 saved, and each month you can save another $80, let's find a function that says the amount of money that you have saved as a function of the number of months. S(m)

The month number zero (before you started saving) you had $100 saved.

S(0) = $100.

One month after, you have saved $80 more, then you have:

S(1) = $100 + $80

Another month after, you have:

S(2) = $100 + $80 + $80 = $100 + 2*$80

And so on, you already can see the pattern, after m months, you will have:

S(m) = $100 + m*$80 saved.

What are the possible numbers of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = −3x4 −

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to look at sign changes in f(x) to determine the possible positive real roots.

$f(x)=-3x^4-5x^3-x^2-8x+4$

There is only one sign change here, between the -8x and the +4. So that means there is only 1 possible real positive root.

Now we have to look at sign changes in f(-x) to determine the possible negative real roots.

$f(-x)=-3x^4+5x^3-x^2+8x+4$

There are 3 sign changes here. That means there are either 3 negative roots or 3-2 = 1 negative root. So we have:

1 positive

3 or 1 negative

We need to pair them up now with all the possible combinations.

If we have 1 positive and 1 negative, we have to have 2 imaginary

If we have 1 positive and 3 negative, we have to have 0 imaginary

Keep in mind that the total number or roots--positive, negative, imaginary--have to add up to equal the degree of the polynomial. This is a 4th degree polynomial, so we will have 4 roots.
