Answer:

  1. {±1/2, ±1, ±3/2, ±2, ±3, ±9/2, ±6, ±9, ±18}
  2. {±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±8, ±12 ±24}
  3. -2, -1, 2
  4. -4, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible rational zeros are of the form ...

  ±{divisor of the constant term}/{divisor of the leading coefficient}

__

1. Rational zeros will be one of ±{1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18}/{1, 2}, so will be ...

  {±1/2, ±1, ±3/2, ±2, ±3, ±9/2, ±6, ±9, ±18}

__

2. Rational zeros will be one of {±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±8, ±12 ±24}.

__

3. The pairs of coefficients suggest factoring by pairs:

  f(x) = (2x^3 +2x^2) -(8x +8) = 2x^2(x +1) -8(x +1) = 2(x^2 -4)(x +1)

  f(x) = 2(x -2)(x +2)(x +1)

Zeros of f(x) are 2, -2, -1, values of x that make the factors zero.

__

4. The sum of coefficients is zero, so x=1 is a zero. Factoring that out by any of several means, you find ...

  f(x) = (x -1)(x^2 +2x -8)

The quadratic is factored by looking for factors of -8 that have a sum of 2. (4 and -2 are those)

  f(x) = (x -1)(x +4)(x -2)

Zeros of f(x) are 1, -4, 2.

_____

The attached graph confirms our factoring of the polynomials of questions 3 and 4. For cubic and higher degree, I find a graphing calculator to be quite helpful finding zeros.

Answer:

f(x)= 2x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x -8

4. f(x)= x^3 + x^2 - 10x + 8

Problem 11

<h3>Answer:  h = 2A/b</h3>

------------------

Explanation:

We need to get h by itself. To do so, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then we divide both sides by b

A = (1/2)*b*h

2A = b*h

b*h = 2A

h = 2A/b

================================================

Problem 12

<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • Equation:   (n+2)/5 = 14
  • Solution to that equation:  n = 68

------------------

Explanation:

The number n is increased by 2 to get n+2

Then we divide by 5 to get (n+2)/5

This is set equal to 14 to get the equation (n+2)/5 = 14

Solving the equation would look like this

(n+2)/5 = 14

n+2 = 5*14 .... multiply both sides by 5

n+2 = 70

n = 70-2 .... subtract 2 from both sides

n = 68

================================================

Problem 13

<h3>Answer: Not a solution</h3>

------------------

Explanation:

We'll replace every copy of x with -3 and simplify

-2x + 5 > 13

-2*(-3) + 5 > 13

6 + 5 > 13

11 > 13

The last inequality is false because 11 is not greater than 13. Since the last inequality is false, this makes the first inequality false when x = -3.

Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution.

Im. lost plese help I suck at Unit Rates
Makovka662 [10]
Luke: 2 miles in 40 minutes, 20 minutes a mile, (2/40 = 20 minutes a mile)
Luke's speed is 3 miles an hour (60minutes/20minutes a mile = 3miles).

Sally: 0.05 miles a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 60 x 0.05 = 3 miles an hour.  Or 0.05 miles a minute, 40 minutes walked, 40 x 0.05 = 2 miles walked.

There are a few other ways to show that they are accurate rates. 

So yes, they are both correct rates.
