Answer:

There are 3 zeros, which are:

x=7,\:x=-\sqrt{2},\:x=\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

f\left(x\right)\:=\:x^3\:-\:7x^2\:-\:2x\:+\:14

To get the zeros of f(x), set y or f(x) =0

so

0=x^3-7x^2-2x+14

as

x^3\:-\:7x^2\:-\:2x\:+\:14=\left(x-7\right)\left(x+\sqrt{2}\right)\left(x-\sqrt{2}\right)

so

\left(x-7\right)\left(x+\sqrt{2}\right)\left(x-\sqrt{2}\right)=0

Using the zero factor principle:

\mathrm{ \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

so

x-7=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x+\sqrt{2}=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-\sqrt{2}=0

solving

x-7=0

  • x=7

x+\sqrt{2}=0

  • x=-\sqrt{2}

x-\sqrt{2}=0

  • x=\sqrt{2}

Therefore, there are 3 zeros, which are:

x=7,\:x=-\sqrt{2},\:x=\sqrt{2}

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:0.0081  or 0.81%

Step-by-step explanation:

The required probability is P(3,5,0.1)= C5 3 * p^3*q^2, where

C5 3=  5!/3/2=4*5/2=10

p is the probability that one randomly selected calculator is defective= 10%=0.1

q is the probability that one randomly selected calculator is non-defective.

q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9

So P(3,5,0.1)= 10*0.1^3*0.9^2=0.01*0.81=0.0081

Can someone help me with this problem pls
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

my answer was 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

    2

2b+3b-10

4b+3b-10

10-7b=3b fraction bar means divide so...

3b

__                       2

4b because... b-2b=4b and 8-4b=4b

3/4 =7.5 because 4 cant go into three so you add a decimal and a zero and move decimal up and 4 can go into 30 7 time which equals 28 and 30-28 is 2 add another zero and its 20 and 4 goes in 5 times which equals 20 and 20-20=0 so its 7.5 (i hope this helps ;)
