Answer:

If you want to use the Rational Zeros Theorem, as instructed, you need to use synthetic division to find zeros until you get a quadratic remainder.

P: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6  (all prime factors of constant term)

Q: ±1, ±7              (all prime factors of the leading coefficient)

P/Q: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±1/7, ±2/7, ±3/7, ±6/7  (all possible values of P/Q)

Now, start testing your values of P/Q in your polynomial:

f(x)=7x4-9x3-41x2+13x+6

You can tell f(1) and f(-1) are not zeros since they're not = 0Now try f(2) and f(-2):

f(2)=7(16)-9(8)-41(4)+13(2)+6

       112-72-164+26+6 ≠ 0

f(-2)=7(16)-9(-8)-41(4)+13(-2)+6

       112+72-164-26+6 = 0  OK!! There is a zero at x=-2

This means (x+2) is a factor of the polynomial.

Now, do synthetic division to find the polynomial that results from

(7x4-9x3-41x2+13x+6)÷(x+2):

-2⊥ 7   -9   -41    13     6

         -14   46   -10    -6          

      7  -23   5       3     0     The remainder is 0, as expected

The quotient is a polynomial of degree 3:

7x3-23x2+5x+3

Now, continue testing the P/Q values with this new polynomial.  Try f(3):

f(3)=7(27)-23(9)+5(3)+3

      189-207+15+3 = 0  OK!!  we found another zero at x=3

Now, another synthetic division:

3⊥ 7   -23    5     3

          21   -6   -3_

    7    -2    -1    0  

The quotient is a quadratic polynomial:

7x2-2x-1  This is not factorable, you need to apply the quadratic formula to find the 3rd and 4th zeros:

x= (1±2√2)÷7

The polynomial has 4 zeros at x=-2, 3, (1±2√2)÷7

What is the solution, if any, to the inequality |3x|≥0?
Murljashka [212]

The inequality is all real numbers.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

A statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Given:

|3x|≥0

3x = 0

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

x= 0/3

x=0 = RHS

Each month, Terrance spends $128.00 on his car payment, $63.00 for car insurance, and $45.00 on gas. Round each amount to the ne
max2010maxim [7]
The answer is $240.

If you round each amount to the nearest ten you get $130.00, $60.00, and 50.00. When you add all of those together you get an estimated amount of $240.

The life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed with a mean of 40,000 and a standard deviation of 5,00
timama [110]

Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067
