If -1 and 2 are the two zeros of the polynomial x3-4x2-7x+10 find the third zero

Mathematics

rewona [7]3 years ago
5 0

note that the zeroes should be x = 1 and x = - 2 not x = - 1 and x = 2

the factors are then ( x - 1 ) and (x + 2)

and x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = (x - 1 )(x + 2) = x² + x - 2

thus x² + x - 2 is a factor

dividing x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 by x² + x - 2 gives x - 5

the third zero is x = 5

check : (5)³ -4(5)² - 7(5) + 10 = 125 - 100 - 35 + 10 = 0

Answer:

-1280

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a₁ = -10, n = 8, r =2

Required to find nᵗʰ term.

From the general formula: aₙ= a₁ (r)ⁿ⁻¹

Therefore nᵗʰ = -10(2)⁸⁻¹

= -10(2)⁷

= - 10(128)

= - 1280

A scale model of a human heart is 16ft long. The scale is 32:1. How many inches long is the actual heart it represents?
melisa1 [442]
0.5 or 6 inches
The model=32
Actual size=1

32/1= 16/?
  If 32 is 1 foot which equals 12 inches, and 16 is half of  32, then 16 is 0.5 inches or 6 inches

Points A(−1.5) and B(6) are marked on a number line. Find the coordinate of point M if it is known that AM:MB=1:2. Find all poss
stellarik [79]
<span>M can have a coordinate of (-9) or (1) There are potentially 3 different places for point M to go. It can be placed to the left of point A, between points A and B, and to the right of point B. Let's check those three possibilities. 1. Left of point A. This works if the distance between M and A is the same as the distance between A and B. So distance between A and B = 6 - (-1.5) = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 So the location for M would be -1.5 - 7.5 = -9 So point M can have the value of -9. 2. Between A and B. This would also work. Since we want a 1:2 ratio, place M one third of the way from A to B. Since we already know the distance between A and B to be 7.5, that means that we should add 7.5/3 = 2.5 to the value of A. So -1.5 + 2.5 = 1 So point M can also have the value of 1. 3. To the right of point B This won't work. Point B will always be closer to M than point A will be. So it's impossible to get a ratio of 1:2.</span>
