Answer:

12 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth-Moon (EM) = 12⁵ miles

Sun-Mercury (SM) = 12⁷ miles

Sun-Jupiter (SJ) = 12⁸ miles

just FYI, these numbers are only a rough simplification for this example. the real distance are quite a bit different.

so, SJ/SM = 12⁸ / 12⁷ = 12¹ = 12

=> Jupiter is 12 times farther away from the Sun than Mercury.

Graph the equation y=-X – 2 using the intercepts.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

y intercept = (0,-2)

x intercept = (-2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

For y intercept, plug 0 for x

y = (0) - 2

y = -2

y intercept = -2

For x intercept, plug 0 for y

(0) = -x - 2

Move -2 to other side

-x = 2

Since x is negitave, make 2 negitave

x = -2

x intercept = -2

Use synthetic division to show that the number given to the right of the equation is a solution of the equation. Then solve the

AysviL [449]

Answer:

$x = 2 \: or \: x = - 2 \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial equation is

$2 {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} - 8x - 4 = 0$

We perform the synthetic division as shown in the attachment by dividing by x-2.

This gives a remainder of 0 and a quotient of

$2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 2$

This means the polynomial equation becomes:

$(x - 2)(2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 2) = 0$

We factor the quadratic term by splitting the middle term;

$(x - 2)(2 {x}^{2} + 4x +x + 2) = 0$

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

Collect common factors again:

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

The solution is:

$x = 2 \: or \: x = - 2 \: or \: x = - \frac{1}{2}$
