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}.

Rounding decimals 324,650
Cloud [144]
It depends how many decimal points you are moving. If it's 1 decimal point then the point would move to the right and the answer would be 3246.50if it was two decimal places then it moves two to the right and the answer would 32465.0. But you don't need to put the .0 at the end so it will be 32465

Firlakuza [10]
Part 1) Find the measures of angle BGE
we know that
The inscribed angle measures half of the arc it comprises.
so
angle BGE=(1/2)*[arc EB]  

Part 2) Find the angle BDG
we know that
The measure of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs that it covers.
so
angle BDG=(1/2)*[arc GEB-arc GB]
