Formula1" title="\sqrt7" alt="\sqrt7" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">, and -\sqrt{7\\}?
f (x) = x3 – 4x2 + 7x + 28
f (x) = x3 – 4x2 – 7x + 28
f (x) = x3 + 4x2 – 7x + 28
f (x) = x3 + 4x2 – 7x – 28

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Factor Theorem, if (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor (where <em>a</em> is a zero) of the polynomial P(x), then P(a) must equal zero.

Our zeros are 4, √7, and - √7. Hence, when evaluating P(4), P(√7), and P(-√7), all must evaluate to zero.

Testing each choice, we can see that only choice B is true. That is:

\displaystyle \displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(4)&= (4)^3 - 4(4)^2 - 7(4) + 28 \\ &= (64) - (64) - (28) + 28 \\ &= 0 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=}0 \\f(\sqrt{7}) &= (\sqrt{7})^3 - 4(\sqrt{7})^2 - 7(\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= (7\sqrt{7}) - (28) - (7\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= 0 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} 0\\ f(-\sqrt{7}) &= (-\sqrt{7})^3 - 4(-\sqrt{7})^2 - 7(-\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= (-7\sqrt{7}) - (28) + (7\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= 0 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} 0  \end{aligned}

In conclusion, our answer is B.

Carolyn buy a gallon of paint that covers 250 ft.². She wants to paint a wall that is 16 feet wide and 12 feet high. Explain whe
kaheart [24]

This question is asking if the paint will be able to cover the area of the figure stated. (16 ft wide and 12 ft high i.e width and length.) Since one gallon covers 250 ft, using the area (A=w*l) formula, we can find the figure's area.

A= 16*12

A=192ft^2

Carolyn can cover the wall.

Hope this helps!

If Inga Ingerton's property, valued at $35,000, is assessed at 40% of its value, and the mill levy is 83, then what is Inga's an
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Annual tax = $ 1162

Step-by-step explanation:

Property value = $35000

To calculate annual tax:

Assessed value = $35000 * 0.40

                           = $ 14000

annual tax on assessed value:

Annual tax = $14000 *0.083

                  = $1162
