KengaRu [80]3 years ago

Answer:

x-intercepts = 1,2, and 4, y-intercept = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 - 7x^2 - 14x - 8 in factored form is equal to (x-1)(x-2)(x-4).

Solving for x-intercepts:

  • We are actually able to solve for all x-intercepts without the given factor. But since we are given one of the factors, our job becomes much easier.
  • Using synthetic division, or long division, we factor out the x-intercept 4. Which leaves us with the polynomial x^2 - 3x + 2.
  • From here we can separate the polynomial into two binomials.
  • x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x-2). Giving us all 3 x-intercepts.
  • Using Descartes' rules we can identify before even starting the problem how many real x-intercepts there are (Not needed for this problem).

Solving for y-intercept:

  • The y-intercept is always the coefficient that does not have any assigned x-variables.
  • The coefficient is -8, thus the y-intercept.
  • If unsure of the y-intercept, you can always plug in x = 0. Solving for the y-intercept will give you the value of f(0).
  • If there is no coefficient, the y-intercept is equal to zero.

In a class with 28 students, there are 19 boys. What is the ratio of girls to boys? 9:19 19:28 19:9 28:9​
leva [86]

Answer:

9:19

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 28

Number of boys = 19

Number of girls = Total number of students - Number of boys = 28-19 = 9

Therefore, ratio of girls to boys = Number of girls/Number of boys = 9/19 = 9:19

Let f(x) = 4x – 1, h(x) = -x-1.<br><br> Find (f o h)(6)<br><br> (foh)(6) =
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(foh)(6) = -29

Step-by-step explanation:

(f o h)(6) is f(h(x)) when x = 6.

We have that:

f(x) = 4x - 1

h(x) = -x-1

f(h(x)) = 4(-x-1) - 1 = -4x - 4 - 1 = -4x - 5

(foh)(6) = -4(6) - 5 = -29

(foh)(6) = -29
