Find the zeros for each function

Mathematics

Answer:

  1. zeros are -10, and -1 (multiplicity 2)
  2. zeros are {-3, -2, 1, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

For higher-degree polynomials I find it extremely useful to use a graphing calculator to find the zeros.

The usual approaches are ...

  • use the rational root theorem
  • try values of x=±1
  • narrow the search using Descartes' rule of signs
  • estimate maximum or minimum root values

1. Rational roots will be factors of 10, so ±1, ±2, ±5, or ±10. The signs are all positive, so there are no positive real roots. The sum of odd-degree coefficients is the same as the sum of even-degree coefficients, so -1 is one of the roots. Removing that using synthetic division gives you ...

   f(x) = (x +1)(x^2 +11 +10)

The quadratic (more or less obviously) factors as (x+1)(x+10), so the complete factorization is ...

  f(x) = (x +1)^2(x +10)

and the zeros are {-10, -1, -1}.

__

2. Rational roots will be factors of 18, so will be ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±9, ±18. The sum of coefficients is 0, so x=1 is a root. The rule of signs tells you that there are 2 positive real roots, so there is one more positive real root. Synthetic division tells you the factoring so far is ...

  f(x) = (x -1)(x^3 +2x^2 -9x -18)

We note that the first two coefficients have the same ratio as the last two, so we can factor by grouping.

  x^3 +2x^2 -9x -18 = x^2(x +2) -9(x +2) = (x^2 -9)(x +2)

Factoring the difference of squares gives you the complete factorization, hence all of the roots. (The zeros are the values of x that make the factors zero.)

  f(x) = (x -1)(x +2)(x -3)(x +3)

The zeros are {-3, -2, 1, 3}.

(1+cos2x)/(1-cos2x) = cot^2x
sesenic [268]

We will turn the left side into the right side.

\dfrac{1 + \cos 2x}{1 - \cos2x} = \cot^2 x

Use the identity:

\cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x

\dfrac{1 + \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}{1 - ( \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{1 - \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x }{1 - \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

Now use the identity

\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 solved for sin^2 x and for cos^2 x.

\dfrac{\cos^2 x + \cos^2 x }{\sin^2 x + \sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{2\cos^2 x}{2\sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{\cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\cot^2 x = \cot^2 x
