How many x-incercepts appear on the graph of this polynomial function f(x)=x^4-5x^2

Mathematics

rewona [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How many x-<em>intercepts</em>?

Factoring this polynomial eases the job of counting the intercepts.

f(x)=x^4-5x^2 = x^2(x^2 - 5)

Setting x^2 = 0 leads to two x-intercepts:  (0, 0) and (0, 0) (a double root).

Setting x^2 - 5 = 0 yields the intercepts (-√5, 0) and (√5, 0).

Thus, there are, strictly speaking, FOUR x-intercepts.  Of these, three are immediately visible.

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown.
Serhud [2]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  32 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two triangular faces has an area of ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1//2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²

The lateral surface area is the product of the prism height (0.5 in) and the perimeter of the base.

  LA = (0.5 in)(5 in +5 in + 6 in) = 8 in²

So, the total area is the area of the two base and the lateral area:

  SA = 2A +LA

  SA = 2(12 in²) +8 in² = 32 in²

The surface area of the prism is 32 square inches.

Select the correct answer. Which expression is equivalent to this polynomial? 15x − 24 A. 5(3x − 8) B. 3(5x − 5) C. 3(5x − 24) D
Scilla [17]

15x-24

the answer is not B because 3*-5= -15, we need -24

the answer is not C because 3*-24= -72

the answer is not A because 5*8= 40

Answer :

D. 3(5x − 8)

(3)(5x)(3)(-8)

15x-24= 15x-24

Which measure represents the standard deviation of the sample means and is used in place of the population standard deviation wh
Ksivusya [100]

The measure represents the standard deviation of the sample means and is used in place of the population standard deviation when the population parameters are unknown is; t-test.

<h3>Which measure is used when the population parameters are unknown?</h3>

A hypothesis test for a population mean when In the case that the population standard deviation, σ, is unknown, carrying out a hypothesis test for the population mean is done in similarly like the population standard deviation is known. A major distinctive property is that unlike the standard normal distribution, the t-test is invoked.
