Answer: True
Explanation:
According to the rational zeros theorem, if x=a is a zero of the function f(x), then f(a) = 0.
Given: f(x) = x⁴ + x³ - 11x² - 9x + 18
From the calculator, obtain
f(5) = 448
f(4) = 126
f(3) = 0
f(2) = -20
f(1) = 0
f(0) = 18
f(-1) = 16
f(-2) = 0
f(-3) = 0
The polynomial is of degree 4, so it has at most 4 real zeros.
From the calculations, we found all 4 zeros as x = -3, -2, 1, and 3.
Therefore
f(x) = (x+3)(x+2)(x-1)(x-3).
For x>3, f(x)increases rapidly. Therefore there are no zeros for x>3.
The statement that x=5 is an upper bound for the zeros of f(x) is true.
Answer:
the last one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$465 at Back Street
$515 at Main Street
Step-by-step explanation:
980 (total) - 50 (the difference between the two) = 930
930/2 = 465 (back street)
465 + 50 (the difference) = 515 ( main street)
CHECK: 465 + 515 = 980
When two lines cross like this, sum of measures of opposite angles is 180.
this means that:
measure angle AEC + measure angle BED = 180
4x-40 + x+50 = 180
5x +10 = 180
5x = 170
x = 34
therefore:
measure angle AEC = 4x-40 = 4(34)-40 = 96
measure angle BED = x+50 = 34+50 = 84
Answer:
There are 15 combinations.
Step-by-step explanation:
A restaurant is offering a dinner special that includes one starter and one entree.
Starter: bread-sticks, soup, salad
Entree: beef, fish, chicken, shrimp, pork
So, we have 3 starters and 5 entrees.
To know the possible dinner special combinations we will simply multiply the two.
Therefore, there are 15 combinations.
