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

9d + d + 2d - 4 = 6d<br><br> A: 2/3<br> B: -2<br> C: 2/9<br> D: -9 <br><br> Please comment
jonny [76]
<span>9d + d + 2d - 4 = 6d
Add d to 9d
10d+2d-4=6d
Add 2d to 10d
12d-4=6d
Subtract 12d from both sides
-4=-6d
Divide -6 on both sides
Final Answer: 4/6 or 2/3 *Both answers are equivalent to each other.</span>
