SHOW that (x + 3) and (x - 2) are factors of f(x) = x4 + 10x3 + 23x2 - 34x - 120.

1 answer:

8 0

If f(x) = 0 then it is a root

x + 3 = 0
x=-3
f(-3) = (-3)^4 + 10(-3)^3 + 23(-3)^2 - 34(-3) - 120 = 0

x - 2 = 0
x=2
f(2) = (2)^4 + 10(2)^3 + 23(2)^2 - 34(2) - 120 = 0

Answer: The answer is 13 ponds of each type should be used.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the coffee counter charges $11.00 per pound for kenyan french roast coffee and $13.00 per pound for sumatra coffee. We are to find the quantity of each type that should be used to make a 26 pound blend that sells for $12.00 per pound.

Let 'x' pound and 'y' pound of kenyan french roast coffee and sumatra coffee be used in the mixture of 26 pound.

So, we have

$x+y=26,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)\\\\11x+13y=12\times 26.~~~~~~~~~~(B)$
