Answer:

The zeros of f(x) are: (x - 1), (x - 3) and (x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x)=x^3-12x^2+35x-24$

$f(8) = 0$

Required

Find all zeros of the f(x)

If $f(8) = 0$ then:

$x = 8$

And $x - 8$ is a factor

Divide f(x) by x - 8

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = \frac{x^3-12x^2+35x-24}{x - 8}$

Expand the numerator

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = \frac{x^3 - 4x^2 -8x^2 + 3x + 32x - 24}{x - 8}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = \frac{x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x - 8x^2 +32x - 24}{x - 8}$

Factorize

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = \frac{(x^2 - 4x + 3)(x - 8)}{x - 8}$

Expand

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = \frac{(x^2 -x - 3x + 3)(x - 8)}{x - 8}$

Factorize

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = \frac{(x - 1)(x - 3)(x - 8)}{x - 8}$

$\frac{f(x)}{x - 8} = (x - 1)(x - 3)$

Multiply both sides by x - 8

$f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 3)(x - 8)$

Hence, the zeros of f(x) are: (x - 1), (x - 3) and (x - 8)

The Better Baby Buggy Co. has just come out with a new model, the Turbo. The market research department predicts that the demand

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$68

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the demand equation for Turbos as $q=-4p+544$ , where q is the number of buggies the company can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy.

Let us find revenue function by multiplying price of p units by demand function as:

Revenue function: $pq=p(-4p+544)$

$pq=-4p^2+544p$

Since revenue function is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum point will be vertex.

Let us find x-coordinate of vertex using formula $\frac{-b}{2a}$ .

$\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-544}{2\times -4}$

$\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-544}{-8}$

$\frac{-b}{2a}=68$

The maximum revenue would be the y-coordinate of vertex.

Let us substitute $x=68$ in revenue formula.

$pq=-4(68)^2+544(68)$

$pq=-4*4624+544(68)$

$pq=-18496+36992$

$pq=18496$

Therefore, the company should sell each buggy for $68 to get the maximum revenue of $18,496.

She would by 3 packages of hot dogs and 2 packages of hot dog buns. This is because 3*8 would be 24 and 12*2 is also 24. These would both be the minimum amount of packages.

CALC- limits please show your method

gladu [14]

A. Factor the numerator as a difference of squares:

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to9}\frac{x-9}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}\frac{(\sqrt x-3)(\sqrt x+3)}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}(\sqrt x+3)=6$

c. As $x\to\infty$ , the contribution of the terms of degree less than 2 becomes negligible, which means we can write

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2-4x-8}{x^2-9}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2}{x^2}=\lim_{x\to\infty}4=4$

e. Let's first rewrite the root terms with rational exponents:

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{\sqrt[3]x-x}{\sqrt x-x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}$

Next we rationalize the numerator and denominator. We do so by recalling

$(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$
$(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)=a^3-b^3$

In particular,

$(x^{1/3}-x)(x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2)=x-x^3$
$(x^{1/2}-x)(x^{1/2}+x)=x-x^2$

so we have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}\cdot\frac{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{1/2}+x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}$

For $x\neq0$ and $x\neq1$ , we can simplify the first term:

$\dfrac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}=\dfrac{x(1-x^2)}{x(1-x)}=\dfrac{x(1-x)(1+x)}{x(1-x)}=1+x$

So our limit becomes

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{(1+x)(x^{1/2}+x)}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}=\frac{(1+1)(1+1)}{1+1+1}=\frac43$
