Explain how to determine the zeros of f(x)= (x+3)(x-2)(x-6)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The zeros of f(x)  are -3, 2 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is a polynomial of degree 3.

If the polynomial is not factorized we will either factorize to find the zero or use trial and error method.

Since the f(x) in the question is in the factorized form. we will have to equate each factor to zero.

f(x) = (x+3)(x-2)(x-6)

x + 3 = 0 => x = -3

x - 2 = 0 =>  x = 2

x - 6 = 0 => x = 6

Part A:The area of a square is (25x2 − 40x + 16) square units. Determine the length of each side of the square by factoring the
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A

25x² - 40x + 16 ← is a perfect square of the form

(ax - b)² = a²x² - 2abx + b²

Comparing the coefficients of like terms in the 2 expressions

a² = 25 ⇒ a = 5, b² = 16 ⇒ b = 4

and 2 × 5 × 4 = 40, thus

25x² - 40x + 16 = (5x - 4)²

The side of the square = 5x - 4

B

25x² - 16y² ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), thus

25x² - 16y²

= (5x)² - (4y)² = (5x - 4y)(5x + 4y)

Dimensions of rectangle are 5x - 4 and 5x + 4

Veronica got 3 times as many gifts as Natalie. Together Veronica and Natalie got a total of 12 gifts. How
Talja [164]

Answer:

Natalie got 3, Veronica got 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

N = Natalie

If Veronica got 3 times as many as Natalie, then she got 3N.

Add them together:

N + 3N = 12

4N = 12

N = 3

Therefore,

Natalie got 3 (N = 3)

Veronica got 9 (3N = 3 x 3 = 9)
