Answer: James is 23. Tom is 21. Sharon is 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- zeros are {-2, 3, 7} as verified by graphing
- end behavior: f(x) tends toward infinity with the same sign as x
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator makes finding or verifying the zeros of a polynomial function as simple as typing the function into the input box.
<h3>Zeros</h3>
The attachment shows the function zeros to be x ∈ {-2, 3, 7}, as required.
<h3>End behavior</h3>
The leading coefficient of this odd-degree polynomial is positive, so the value of f(x) tends toward infinity of the same sign as x when the magnitude of x tends toward infinity.
- x → -∞; f(x) → -∞
- x → ∞; f(x) → ∞

<em>Additional comment</em>
The function is entered in the graphing calculator input box in "Horner form," which is also a convenient form for hand-evaluation of the function.
We know the x^2 coefficient is the opposite of the sum of the zeros:
-(7 +(-2) +3) = -8 . . . . x^2 coefficient
And we know the constant is the opposite of the product of the zeros:
-(7)(-2)(3) = 42 . . . . . constant
These checks lend further confidence that the zeros are those given.
(The constant is the opposite of the product of zeros only for odd-degree polynomials. For even-degree polynomials. the constant is the product of zeros.)
Answer:
-3
Three feet below the initial elevation
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial elevation is 224 feet.
We take descent to be negative and ascent to be positive.
The numerical addition expression is

We simplify this to obtain:

The negative sign means Sally is 3 feet below his initial elevation
So I guess we are solving for x here :)
So here is my work...
a=2x+6xz
Basically I think it would be
a=6xz+2x
WAIT WAIT NO I'M WRONG FORGIVE ME!
It's x=a/2(1+3z)
