Answer:

  x ∈ {1/2, 1, 3, i, -i}

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your function is supposed to be ...

  f(x) = 2x^5 -9x^4 +12x^3 -12x^2 +10x -3=0

I find it convenient to use a graphing calculator to find the real roots of higher-degree polynomials. The attached shows the real roots are ...

  x = 1/2, 1, 3

Factoring those out leaves the quadratic factor ...

  x^2 +1 = 0

That one has roots ±i.

So, the full complement of roots is ...

  x ∈ {1/2, 1, 3, i, -i}

_____

Descartes' rule of signs tells you the real roots are all positive. The rational root theorem tells you that rational roots are in the set {1/2, 1, 3/2, 3}. The sum of coefficients is 0, telling you that x=1 is a real root.

Factoring that from the polynomial leaves the 4th-degree factor ...

  2x^4 −7x^3 +5x^2 −7x +3 . . . . . division shown in 2nd attachment

For x=1, this has a negative value (-4), so you know there is a root between f(0) =3 and f(1) = -4. The only rational choice is 1/2.

Similarly, factoring that from the polynomial (along with a factor of 2) leaves the cubic ...

  x^3 -3x^2 +x -3 . . . . . division shown in 3rd attachment

This is clearly factorable by grouping to (x -3)(x^2 +1), so we have our third real root and the quadratic that yields the complex roots.

50× 3/8 how to reduce answer to lowest te
hoa [83]

The lowest term is \frac{75}{4}.

Solution:

Given expression is 50\times\frac{3}{8}

<u>To reduce this term to the lowest term:</u>

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{50}{1}\times\frac{3}{8}

Multiply the numerator and denominator.

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{150}{8}

Now, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

Here 150 and 8 both have common factor 2.

So, divide numerator and denominator by 2.

           $=\frac{150\div2}{8\div2}

           $=\frac{75}{4}

$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{75}{4}

Hence the lowest term is \frac{75}{4}.
