A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output.
*An example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x2.

What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) x^4-24x^2-25

Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = ±5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following polynomial function and we are to find all of its real roots:

$x^4-24x^2-25$

Let $y=x^2$ so we can now write it as:

$y^2-24y-25$

Factorizing it to get:

$(y^2+y)+(-25y-25)$

$y\left(y+1\right)-25\left(y+1\right)$

$\left ( y + 1 \right ) \left ( y - 2 5 \right)$

Substitute back $y=x^2$ to get:

$\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x^2 - 25 \right )$

$\left ( x^2 + 1 \right ) \left ( x + 5 \right ) \left ( x - 5 \right )$

The quadratic factor has only complex roots. Therefore, the real roots are x = ±5.

Paha777 [63]

C. (3x+1)(3x-2) 3x times 3x= 9x^2 and 3x times -1= -3x
2 times 3x= 6x and 2 times -1= -2
9x^2- 3x+6x-2
9x^2+3x-2
Hope I explain this more clearly for you.

Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week. Fourteen people ans

Bond [772]

If Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week. Then the mean of the sample is 3.75.

The average of a group of numbers is simply defined as the mean. In statistics, the mean is regarded as one of the indicators of central tendency.

Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week.

Fourteen people answered that they generally sell two cars; nineteen generally sell three cars; twelve generally sell four cars; nine generally sell five cars; eleven generally sell six cars.

Then the mean of the sample will be

$\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{N} \times \Sigma _{i} \ \ x_if_i$
