Answer:

 |x − 0.5| = 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the diameter,

Since, an error of 0.05 millimeters is allowance in diameter,

Thus, the maximum acceptable diameter = x + 0.05,

And, the minimum acceptable diameter = x - 0.05

According to the question,

The holes will have a diameter of 0.5 millimeters,

Thus, x - 0.05 < 0.5  and 0.5 < x + 0.05

⇒ x - 0.5 < 0.05 and x - 0.5 > - 0.05  

⇒ x - 0.5 < 0.05 and -(x -0.5) < 0.05

⇒ |x-0.5| < 0.05

⇒ Option D is correct.

A student is asked to find a polynomial f(x) of degree four with the zeros 2, -3, 0, and -7. What factors would the student mult
lord [1]

Answer:

(x-2), (x+3),x and (x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the zeros of the polynomial are 2, -3, 0 and -7.

Let’s consider a case of a quadratic equation where x = 5 is a solution. This means that x + 5 is a factor of that quadratic equation.

Now, let’s apply same approach to this polynomial. If x = 2 is a solution, then x -2 is a factor. If x = -3, then, x + 3 is a factor. If x = 0, this means x itself is a solution and lastly, if x = -7 is a solution, that means x + 7 is a factor.

Thus, the factors to multiply together are; (x-2), (x+3),x and (x + 7)
