• 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

To find out the percentage, just like with the average, you need to add up all the numbers which is 60. Now you have to find the probability of 2 cars in a line, you would have to divide, 16/60, Which is about .27, now you have to convert to percentage, which is 27%

What is 5/6 y - 8 = 2<br> a. 12<br> b. 8 1/3<br> c. -7 1/5<br> d. 13

inn [45]

Answer:

$a.\ 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{6}y-8=2\\\\Add\ 8\ both\ sides\\\\\frac{5}{6}y-8+=2+8\\\\\frac{5}{6}y=10\\\\Multiply\ by\ 6\ both\ the\ sides\\\\\frac{5}{6}y\times 6=10\times 6\\\\5y=60\\\\divide\ by\ 5\ both\ the\ sides\\\\\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{60}{5}\\\\y=12$

A car had a value of $10,000 and depreciates at a rate of 7% a year. What is the cars value after 3 years.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential decay function is

$v(t)=a(b)^t$ where a is the initial value of the car, b is the rate of decay, and t is the time in years. Our rate of decay can also be written as (1 - r) where r is the depreciation in decimal form. Our equation looks like this:

$v(t)=10000(1-.07)^t$ which simplifies to

$v(t)=10000(.93)^t$ Now we can solve our problem for any number of years you'd like. We've been tasked to find the value of the car after 3 years, so:

$v(t)=10000(.93)^3$ which simplifies a bit to:

$v(t)=10000(.804357)$ so

v(t) = 8043.57
