Which function is (x-1) a real root?

Mathematics

Zina [86]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Factor Theorem:

In order for a factor in the form of $(x-a)$ to be a root for a function $f(x)$ , $f(a)$ must be 0.

Our factor is $(x-1)$ .

Therefore, $a=1$ .

So, we will evaluate $f(1)$ for all the choices.

Doing so, we can see that, starting from the top, we have:

$\begin{aligned}f_1(1)&=-12\\ f_2(1) &=8 \\ f_3(1)&=24 \\ f_4(1)&=0 \end{aligned}$

The choice that yields 0 as an answer is D.

So, the function for which $(x-1)$ is a real root is choice D.

The math club is selling T-shirts to raise money. Each T-shirt sold represents a profit of $2. The club has a total of 500 T-

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

2 < or equal to (t) < or equal to 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is the profit of the (t) amount of t shirts so the amount should be greater than or equal too 1000 because if they have 500 shirts 500 x 2 is 1000

Uninhibited growth can be modeled by exponential functions other than A(t) =Upper A 0 e Superscript kt. For example, if an i

laila [671]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Uninhibited growth can be modeled by exponential functions other than $A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$ . for example, if an initial population P₀ requires n units of time to triple, then the function $P(t)=P_{0}(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }$ models the size of the population at time t. An insect population grows exponentially. Complete the parts a through d below.

a) If the population triples in 30 days, and 50 insects are present initially, write an exponential function of the form $P(t)=P_{0}(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }$ that models the population.

b) What will the population be in 47 days?

c) When wil the population reach 750?

d) Express the model from part (a) in the form $A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$ .

Answer: a) $P(t)=50(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$

b) P(t) = 280 insects

c) t = 74 days

d) $A(t)=50e^{0.037t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) n is time necessary to triple the population of insects, i.e., n = 30 and P₀ = 50. So, Exponential equation for growth is

$P(t)=50(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$

b) In t = 47 days:

$P(t)=50(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$

$P(47)=50(3)^{\frac{47}{30} }$

$P(47)=50(3)^{1.567}$

P(47) = 280

In 47 days, population of insects will be 280

c) P(t) = 750

$750=50(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$

$\frac{750}{50}=(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }$

$(3)^{\frac{t}{n} }=15$

Using the property <u>Power</u> <u>Rule</u> of logarithm:

$log(3)^{\frac{t}{30} }=log15$

$\frac{t}{30}log(3)=log15$

$t=\frac{log15}{log3} .30$

t = 74

To reach a population of 750 insects, it will take 74 days

d) To express the population growth into the described form, determine the constant k, using the following:

A(t) = 3A₀ and t = 30

$A(t)=A_{0}e^{kt}$

$3A_{0}=A_{0}e^{30k}$

$3=e^{30k}$

Use Power Rule again:

$ln3=ln(e^{30k})$

$ln3=30k$

$k=\frac{ln3}{30}$

k = 0.037

Equation for exponential growth will be:

$A(t)=50e^{0.037t}$

This table shows the starting and ending temperature for eight days.

antiseptic1488 [7]

For this case, what you should do is use any computational tool and graph the data in the table. For example, I used excel.
In the x axis we have Starting temperature and in the axis of the y we have Ending temperature.
You can see how the diagram varies almost linearly.

What is the y-intercept of the liner function? (y=3x-2)

inysia [295]

The y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2

<h3>How to determine the y-intercept?</h3>

The function is given as

y = 3x - 2

The above function is a linear function, and the y-intercept is the point on the graph, where x = 0 i.e. the point (0, y)

As a general rule, linear functions are those functions that have constant rates or slopes

Next, we set x to 0, and calculate y to determine the value of the y-intercept

y = 3(0) - 2

Remove the bracket in the above equation

y = 3 * 0 - 2

Evaluate the product of 3 and 0 i.e. multiply 3 and 0

y = 0 - 2

Evaluate the difference of 0 and -2 i.e. subtract 0 from 2

y = -2

The above means that the value of y when x is 0 is -2

Hence, the y-intercept of the linear function y = 3x - 2 is -2
