Answer:

  f(x) = x³ +3x² -6x -18

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for there to be a root of √6, there must be a factor of (x-√6). In order for there to be rational coefficients, there needs to be another factor of (x+√6) in the minimal polynomial. Then the minimal polynomial with the required roots is ...

  f(x) = (x +3)(x -√6)(x +√6) = (x +3)(x² -6)

  f(x) = x³ +3x² -6x -18

In a school, the ratio of soccer players to volleyball players is 4 : 1. The number of soccer players is how many times the numb
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly.  If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players.  For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.

The equivalent expression would be   S = 4F

The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing.  It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.

The equivalent expression would be   S = F + 4

That being said:  An equivalent ratio to 4:1  would be  8:2 ,  12:3,  16:4, ...

Think of the ratio as a fraction.  4:1 = 4/1

4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.

At what value of x does the graph of the function f(x) have a vertical asymptote?
choli [55]
It will have a vertical asymptote when the denominator approaches zero.

2x-6=0

2x=6

x=3

So the vertical asymptote is the vertical line x=3

How does sin 30degrees compare to sin -30degrees?
KiRa [710]

The sine function is an odd function, so the sine of -30° is the opposite of the sine of 30°.

sin(30°) = 1/2

sin(-30°) = -1/2

The sine of 30° is greater than the sine of -30°.
