Given:

The function is:

f(x)=10x^5+8x^4-15x^3+2x^2-2

To find:

All the possible rational zeros for the given function by using the Rational Zero Theorem.

Solution:

According to the rational root theorem, all the rational roots are of the form \dfrac{p}{q},q\neq 0, where p is a factor of constant term and q is a factor of leading coefficient.

We have,

f(x)=10x^5+8x^4-15x^3+2x^2-2

Here,

Constant term = -2

Leading coefficient = 10

Factors of -2 are ±1, ±2.

Factors of 10 are ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10.

Using the rational root theorem, all the possible rational roots are:

x=\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm \dfrac{1}{2}, \pm \dfrac{1}{5},\pm \dfrac{2}{5},\pm \dfrac{1}{10}.

Therefore, all the possible rational roots of the given function are \pm 1,\pm 2,\pm \dfrac{1}{2}, \pm \dfrac{1}{5},\pm \dfrac{2}{5},\pm \dfrac{1}{10}.

A dime is dropped from a building at a
Rasek [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

h(t) = -16t2 + initial height

Initial height = 1024 feets

By the time it hits the ground, h(t) = 0

Equation becomes :

0 = - 16t² + 1024

Solve for t

-16t² = 1024

t² = 1024 / -16

t² = 64

t = √64

t = 8

Hence, it will take 8 seconds
