Answer:
The three zeros of the original function f(x) are {-1/2, -3, -5}.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Synthetic division" is the perfect tool for approaching this problem. Long div. would also "work."
Use -5 as the first divisor in synthetic division:
------------------------
-5 2 17 38 15
-10 -35 -15
--------------------------
2 7 3 0
Note that there's no remainder here. That tells us that -5 is indeed a zero of the given function. We can apply synthetic div. again to the remaining three coefficients, as follows:
-------------
-3 2 7 3
-6 -3
-----------------
2 1 0
Note that the '3' in 2 7 3 tells me that -3, 3, -1 or 1 may be an additional zero. As luck would have it, using -3 as a divisor (see above) results in no remainder, confirming that -3 is the second zero of the original function.
That leaves the coefficients 2 1. This corresponds to 2x + 1 = 0, which is easily solved for x:
If 2x + 1 = 0, then 2x = -1, and x = -1/2.
Thus, the three zeros of the original function f(x) are {-1/2, -3, -5}.
The problem asked you to calculate the slope of the dilated polygon which is dilated by a scale factor of 3. So, the slope of BC is 5/2 or -5/-2 and the dilated polygon has a the same slope of the original polygon.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Average rate of change is Δy / Δx.
For f(x):
[ f(1) - f(0) ] / (1 - 0)
(1 - 3) / (1 - 0)
-2
For g(x):
[ g(1) - g(0) ] / (1 - 0)
(4 - 3) / (1 - 0)
1
Answer: independent variables cause the effect measured in the dependent variables
Step-by-step explanation: In a causal - comparative study, the dependent variables refers to the variable whose changes is being measured or observed. The changes or alteration of the dependent variable is induced by the different values of the independent variable. In causal - comparative study, the different independent variables is assumed to have a direct impact on the output or values of the dependent variable which is measured by the experimenter. Therefore, the independent variable does not change, but causes the observed changes noticed in the dependent variable.
Answer:
7 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph
We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.
While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph
We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence
1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute
1 mph will be increase in 
minutes
Hence
10.50 mph will be increased in 
minutes
Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.
