6 0

Answer:

-4,2

Step-by-step explanation:

let \: two \: consecutive \: even \: numbers \: be \: x \: and \: x + 2 \\ so \: by \: the \: question \\  {x}^{2}  +  {(x + 2)}^{2}  = 20 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  + 4x + 4 = 20 \\ or \: 2 {x}^{2}  + 4x = 20 - 4 \\ or \: 2( {x}^{2}   + 2x) = 16 \\ or {x}^{2}  + 2x = 8 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}  + 2x - 8 = 0 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}   + (4 - 2)x - 8 = 0 \\ or \:  {x}^{2}   + 4x  -  2x - 8 = 0 \\ or \: x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4) = 0 \\ or \: (x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 \\ either \: x + 4 = 0 \\ or \: x =  - 4 \\ or \: x - 2 = 0 \\ orx = 2

therefore, x= -4 and 2

One zero of f(x)=x^3-2x^2-5x+6 is 1 what are other zeros of the function
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The other zeros are -2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As 1 is a zero then (x - 1) is a factor so we divide:

x - 1 )x^3-2x^2-5x+6(x^2-x-6

        x^3-x^2

              -x^2-5x

              -x^2+x

                      -6x+6    

                      -6x+6

                       ...........

x^2 - x - 6 = 0

(x - 3)(x + 2)

x = -2, 3.
