Complete the steps to solve the polynomial equation x3 – 21x = –20. According to the rational root theorem, which number is a po

jeka94

Answer:

Zeroes : 1, 4 and -5.

Potential roots: $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$x^3-21x=-20$

It can be written as

$x^3+0x^2-21x+20=0$

Splitting the middle terms, we get

$x^3-x^2+x^2-x-20x+20=0$

$x^2(x-1)+x(x-1)-20(x-1)=0$

$(x-1)(x^2+x-20)=0$

Splitting the middle terms, we get

$(x-1)(x^2+5x-4x-20)=0$

$(x-1)(x(x+5)-4(x+5))=0$

$(x-1)(x+5)(x-4)=0$

Using zero product property, we get

$x-1=0\Rightarrow x=1$

$x-4=0\Rightarrow x=4$

$x+5=0\Rightarrow x=-5$

Therefore, the zeroes of the equation are 1, 4 and -5.

According to rational root theorem, the potential root of the polynomial are

$x=\dfrac{\text{Factor of constant}}{\text{Factor of leading coefficient}}$

Constant = 20

Factors of constant ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10, ±20.

Leading coefficient= 1

Factors of leading coefficient ±1.

Therefore, the potential root of the polynomial are $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .

A car salesman has 8 used cars for sale. They have a mean price of $4500. What is the total price of all 8 cars?

muminat

Answer:

$36000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a mean price of $4500 this means that in the 8 cars we have cars with higer and lower prices than $4500 but that if we have to give the same price to 8 cars that would be $4500. Then to know the total price of the all 8 cars we just have to multiply:

$\$4500\cdot 8=$36000$
