Answer:

James = 1 year

Austin = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let James age = x

Let Austin's age = y

James is four years younger than Austin.

x = y - 4

If three times James age is increased by the square of Austin's age, the result is 28.

3(x - 4) + y² = 28

Hence,

Note: x = y - 4

Hence,

3y - 12 + y² = 28

3y + y² - 12 - 28 = 0

y² + 3y - 40 = 0

y² + 8y - 5y - 40 = 0

y(y + 8) - 5(y + 8 ) = 0

(y + 8)(y - 5)

y = -8

y = 5 years

x = y - 4

x = 5 - 4

x = 1 years.

Which values are possible rational roots of 4x3+9x2−x+10=0 according to the rational root theorem? Select each correct answer. ±
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

±2

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplicity let's take a look at a general third order polynomial:

ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d.  In this particular case,

rational roots have the form ±d/±a.  Note that these are fractions/ratios.  Beyond that, we factor d and choose numerators ±(all possible whole number factors of d, dividing these results by all possible factors of a.

Looking at 4x^3 + 9x^2 - x + 10 = 0, we see that d = 10 and that factors of d include ±1, ±2, ±5 and ±10.  a = 4 and factors of a include ±1, ±2, ±4.

So, any rational roots of the given polynomial will stem from the possible rational roots

±1    ±2    ±5    ±10    ±1    ±2    ±5    ±10

--- , ----- , -----, ------- , ---- , ----- , --- , ------ , and so on,

±1    ±1     ±1      ±1      ±2    ±2   ±2     ±2

until you have used up all of the possible factors of 10 and all of the possible factors of 4.  

Of the four possible rational roots you have shared, only ±2 (which would actually be ±2 / ±1) is acceptable.
