Find the zeros for each function

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}.

Help me please i don't understand ​
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables:

L = length

W = width

P = perimeter

Equations:

L = W + 13

P = 2(L + W)

P = 2(W + 13 + W)

2(W + 13 + W) = 226

2(2W + 13) = 226

2W + 13 = 113

2W = 100

W = 50

L = W + 13 = 50 + 13 = 63

The length is 63 cm, and the width is 50 cm.

A dice is rolled twice. What is the probability of rolling a 3 followed by a 2?
aliina [53]

The two rolls of the number cube are independent events because

the result of 1 roll does not affect the result of the other roll.

To find the probability of two independent events, we first find

the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities.

We can find the probability of an event using the following ratio:

<em>number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes</em>

Since there is only one way to roll a 3 and there are six

possible outcomes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, the probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6.

Since there is also only one way to roll a 2 and there are

six possible outcomes, the probability of rolling a 2 would be 1/6.

Now we multiply the probabilities.

1/6 x 1/6 is 1/36.

So the probability of rolling a 3 and a 2 is 1/36.
