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

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

Consider the recursively defined function below.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

  -5.25, -3.5, -1.75, 0, 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive relation tells you this is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 1.75. Each term is 1.75 more than the one before.

To find the 2nd term, add 1.75 to the first term: -5.25 + 1.75 = -3.5

To find the 3rd term, add 1.75 to the second term: -3.5 + 1.75 = -1.75

To find the 4th term, add 1.75 to the third term: -1.75 + 1.75 = 0

and so on ...

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

(1, -3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinate is the same for both endpoints so the x coordinate for the midpoint is 1

The y coordinate for the midpoint is found by adding the two y coordinates and dividing by 2

(2+-5)/2 = -3/2

The midpoint is

(1, -3/2)

Which of the following represents the set in words?
jekas [21]

Answer:

It's actually: None of these.

Think about it: In this case we have an inequality, of x ≤ 0.

This basically means, that x can be less than OR equal to 0.

But 0 is neither negative or positive, so we can eliminate the following answer choices:

- all positive integers

- all negative real numbers

- all positive real numbers

- all negative integers

And we are left with "None of these"

Let me know if this helps!
