Answer:

3) Cubic polynomial with four terms.

4) Linear polynomial with two terms.

5) The zeros are: (1-sqrt(5))/2=-0.618, 1, and (1+sqrt(5))/2=1.618

The y-intercept is y=1

Please, see the attached graph.

6) The zeros are: -1.272, 1.272

The y-intercept is y=1

Please, see the attached graph.

7) Please, see the attached files.

8) Please, see the attached files.

9) Please, see the attached files.

10) Please, see the attached files.


Step-by-step explanation:

3) Degree is the maximun exponent that the variable "x" has, in this case 3, then this is a cubic polynomial, and it has four terms (6x^3, -7x^2, -10x, and -8).


4) Degree is the maximun exponent that the variable "x" has, in this case 1 (x=x^1), then this is a linear polynomial, and it has two terms (-10x, and 10).


5) f(x)=x^3-2x^2+1

Zeros:

f(x)=0→x^3-2x^2+1=0

Factoring:

    x^3-2x^2+0x+1  

 ! 1      -2       0    1

<u>1 !____1____-1_-1</u>

   1      -1        -1   0

   1x^2-1x      -1 = x^2-x-1

x^3-2x^2+1=0→(x-1)(x^2-x-1)=0

The zeros are:

x-1=0→x-1+1=0+1→x1=1

x^2-x-1=0

ax^2+bx+c=0; a=1, b=-1, c=-1

x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

x=(-(-1)+-sqrt((-1)^2-4(1)(-1))/(2(1))

x=(1+-sqrt(1+4))/2

x2=(1+-sqrt(5))/2=(1+2.236067978)/2=3.236067978/2=1.618033989=1.618

x=(1-sqrt(5))/2=(1-2.236067978)/2=-1.236067978/2=-0.618033989=-0.618

x3=(1+sqrt(5))/2

The zeros are: (1-sqrt(5))/2=-0.618, 1, and (1+sqrt(5))/2=1.618  

The y-intercept is:

x=0→f(0)=(0)^3-2(0)^2+1→f(0)=0-2(0)+1→f(0)=0-0+1→f(0)=1

The y-intercept is y=1.


6) f(x)=-x^4+x^2+1

Zeros:

f(x)=0→-x^4+x^2+1=0

Factoring: Multiplyng both sides of the equation by -1:

(-1)(-x^4+x^2+1)=(-1)(0)

x^4-x^2-1=0

(x^2)^2-(x^2)-1=0

Changing x^2 by t:

t^2-t-1=0

at^2+bt+c=0; a=1, b=-1, c=-1

t=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

t=(-(-1)+-sqrt((-1)^2-4(1)(-1))/(2(1))

t=(1+-sqrt(1+4))/2

t1=(1+-sqrt(5))/2=(1+2.236067978)/2=3.236067978/2=1.618033989=1.618

t2=(1-sqrt(5))/2=(1-2.236067978)/2=-1.236067978/2=-0.618033989=-0.618

t^2-t+1=0→(t-1.618)(t-(-0.618))=0→(t-1.618)(t+0.618)=0

and t=x^2, then:

(x^2-1.618)(x^2+0.618)=0

Factoring the first parentheses using a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b), with:

a^2=x^2→sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(x^2)→a=x

b^2=1.618→sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(1.618)→b=1.272

(x^2-1.618)(x^2+0.618)=0→(x+1.272)(x-1.272)(x^2+0.618)=0

The zeros are:

x+1.272=0→x+1.272-1.272=0-1.272→x1=-1.272

x-1.272=0→x-1.272+1.272=0+1.272→x2=1.272

The zeros are: -1.272, and 1.272  

The y-intercept is:

x=0→f(0)=-(0)^4+(0)^2+1→f(0)=-0+0+1→f(0)=1

The y-intercept is y=1.

There are 6 pennies, 9 nickels, and 3 dimes in a box. Find the probability of...
valina [46]

Answer:

a) 4/17

b) 1/12

c) 3/34

d) 3/34

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability of choosing the first nickel is 9/(9 + 6 + 3) (because there are 9 nickels to choose from and a total of 9 + 6 + 3 = 18 coins to choose from) = 9/18 = 1/2. The probability of choosing the second nickel is 8/17 (because there's no replacement, we have 9 - 1 = 8 nickels remaining to choose from and 18 - 1 = 17 total coins). Multiply these together: (1/2) * (8/17) = 8/34 = 4/17

b) The probability of choosing a nickel is 9/18 (just like above) = 1/2. The probability of choosing a dime is 3/18 (because there are 3 dimes and since there IS replacement, we still have 18 total coins to choose from). Multiplying these, we get: (1/2) * (3/18) = 3/36 = 1/12

c) The probability of choosing a nickel is 9/18 = 1/2. The probability of choosing a dime after that is 3/17 (because there are 3 dimes to choose from, but since there's NO replacement, there are only 18 - 1 = 17 total coins). Multiplying these, we get: (1/2) * (3/17) = 3/34

d) The probability of choosing a penny is 6/18 (because there are 6 pennies) = 1/3. The probability of choosing a nickel next is 9/17 (because there is NO replacement, there are 18 - 1 = 17 total coins remaining). The probability of choosing a second nickel is 8/16 = 1/2 (because there are 17 - 1 = 16 total coins and 9 - 1 = 8 nickels left). Multiplying these, we get: (1/3) * (9/17) * (1/2) = 9/102 = 3/34

Hope this helps!
