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}.

27) Harry made 4 hits in 9 times at-bat. If she keeps the same success level, how many hits should she make in 18 times at bat?
9966 [12]

Answer:

<u>8 hits</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is :

  • hits : times-at-bat = 4 : 9

Now, we have 18 times at bat.

Multiply both sides of the ratio with 2 :

  • 4 x 2 hits : 9 x 2 times at bat
  • <u>8 hits</u> : 18 times at bat

Harry should make <u>8 hits</u> in 18 times at bat.
