Answer:

The time now is 7 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that now is the time T.

We know that:

"if time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be a quarter that if it is one hour from now".

Then:

if we define midnight as 12, and we assume that T is in the pm range.

Then the "time left till midnigth, assuming that the time is four hours from now" will be written as (12 - (T + 4))

With this in mind, we can write the problem as:

12 - (T + 4) = (1/4)*( 12 - (T + 1))

Now we can solve this for T.

12 - T - 4 = (1/4)*(12 - T - 1)

8 - T = (1/4)*(11 - T)

4*(8 - T) = 11 - T

32 - 4*T = 11 - T

32 - 11  = -T + 4*T

21 = 3*T

21/3 = T

7 = T

Then T = 7 pm

The time now is 7 pm

The change in water level of a lake is modeled by a polynomial function, W(x). Describe how to find the x-intercepts of W(x) and
Agata [3.3K]
<span>First. <u>Finding the x-intercepts of </u>W(x)
</span><span>
Let W(x) be the change in water level. So to find the x-intercepts of this function we can use The Rational Zero Test that states:

To find the zeros of the polynomial:

f(x)=a_{n}x^{n}+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{1}x+a_{0}

We use the Trial-and-Error Method which states that a factor of the constant term:

a_{0}

can be a zero of a polynomial (the x-intercepts).

So let's use an example: Suppose you have the following polynomial:

W(x)=x^{4}-x^{3}-7x^{2}+x+6

where the constant term is a_{0}=6. The possible zeros are the factors of this term, that is:

1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 6 \ and \ -6.

Thus:

</span>W(1)=0 \\ W(-1)=0 \\ W(2)=-12 \\ W(-2)=0 \\ W(3)=0 \\ W(-3)=48 \\ W(6)=840 \\ W(-6)=1260<span>

From the foregoing, we can affirm that 1, -1, -2 \ and \ 3 are zeros of the polynomial.

</span>Second. <u>Construction a rough graph of</u> W(x)

Given that this is a polynomial, then the function is continuous. To graph it we set the roots on the coordinate system. We take the interval:

[-2,-1]

and compute W(c) where c is a real number between -2 and -1. If W(c)>0, the curve start rising, if not, the curve start falling. For instance:

If \ c=-\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ then \ w(-\frac{3}{2})=-2.81

Therefore the curve start falling and it goes up and down until x=3 and from this point it rises without a bound as shown in the figure below

How are dilations and functions related?
Anika [276]
If we dialate a function we are just changing what the graph looks like by a stretch or a compression, the function really doesn't change.  If a function before the dilation, then it is a function after the dilation.  The opposite is also true.
