• Given the function, f(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 9x – 45, determine the number of roots and identify them.

1 answer:

6 0

x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 45 = 0
It is a polynomial of degree three, therefore, it has three roots.
For this case, what we can do is factorize to write the polynomial in an easier way and thus be able to find the roots.
Factoring we have:
(x - 5) (x ^ 2 + 9) = 0
x = 5
x = 3i
x = -3i
Answer:
three roots:
x = 5
x = 3i
x = -3i

If -3 1/4 is subtracted from 1 1/3. What will be the result?

Alenkinab [10]

1_1/3 = 4/3

-3_1/4 = -13/4

(4/3) - (-13/4)

(4/3) + (13/4)

We can see that (4/3) + (13/4) leads to a positive answer.

A ball is rolled at a velocity of 12m/sec.after 36 seconds,it comes to a stop what is the acceleration of the ball?

miv72 [106K]

acceleration of ball is $\frac{-1}{3}\,\,m/sec^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Velocity = 12m/sec

time = 36 s

Final Velocity 0 m/sec (ball comes to stop)

Acceleration= ?

The formula used to find acceleration is:

$Acceleration=\frac{Final\,\,Velocity-Initial\,\,Velocity}{Time}$

Putting values and finding acceleration:

$Acceleration=\frac{Final\,\,Velocity-Initial\,\,Velocity}{Time}$

$Acceleration=\frac{0-12}{36}$

$Acceleration=\frac{-12}{36}$

$Acceleration=\frac{-1}{3}\,\,m/sec^2$

So, acceleration of ball is $\frac{-1}{3}\,\,m/sec^2$

70% of Ms. Miller's class passed the test on the first try. Those who failed were able to retake and half of those students pass

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer: There are 667 owls for every 1000 squirrels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of owls = 30

Number of squirrels = 45

If the number of owls and squirrels will continue to increase.

If there are 1000 squirrels, then the number of owls would be

$\dfrac{30}{45}=\dfrac{x}{1000}\\\\x=\dfrac{30\times 1000}{45}\\\\x=666.67\\\\x\approx 667$

Hence, there are 667 owls for every 1000 squirrels.
