An ant moves forward 18 1⁄2 inches in one hour. It turns around and crawls
2 answers:
Answer: 10.75 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given information:</u>
First hour = + 18 1/2 (forward)
Second hour = - 13.5 (backward)
Third hour = + 46/8 (forward)
<u />
<u>Given expression deducted from the questions</u>
Total Distance = First hour + Second hour + Third hour
<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>
Total Distance = 18 1/2 + (-13.5) + 46/8
<u>Convert to decimals</u>
Total Distance = 18.5 - 13.5 + 5.75
<u>Simplify by subtraction/addition</u>
Total Distance = 5 + 5.75
Total Distance =

<h3>What are the characteristics of each of the three functions?</h3>
a) In this part we must evaluate each of the three functions at the given value of x:
Case 1
f(10) = 5 · 10 + 7
f(10) = 57
Case 2
f(10) = 10² + 6
f(10) = 106
Case 3
f(10) = 2¹⁰ + 3
f(10) = 1027
b) In this part we must evaluate each of the three functions at the given value of x:
Case 1
f(100) = 5 · 100 + 7
f(100) = 507
Case 2
f(100) = 100² + 6
f(100) = 10006
Case 3
f(100) = 2¹⁰⁰ + 3
f(100) = 1.267 × 10³⁰ + 3
c) In this part we must evaluate each of the three functions at the given value of x:
Case 1
f(1000) = 5 · 1000 + 7
f(1000) = 5007
Case 2
f(1000) = 1000² + 6
f(1000) = 1000006
Case 3
f(1000) = 2¹⁰⁰⁰ + 3
f(1000) = (1.268 × 10³⁰)¹⁰ + 3
f(1000) = 10.744 × 10³⁰⁰ + 3
f(1000) = 1.074 × 10³⁰¹ + 3
e) The <em>third</em> function increases the fastest.
f) In this part we need to compare the <em>third</em> function with respect to the <em>first</em> and <em>second</em> functions:
5 · x + 7 = 2ˣ + 3
2ˣ - 5 · x = 4
The solutions of the equation are x = - 0.675 and x = 4.81. The function will exceed the other <em>first</em> function at x = 4.81.
x² + 6 = 2ˣ + 3
2ˣ - x² = 3
The solution of the equation is x = 4.588. The function will exceed the other <em>second</em> function at x = 4.588.
g) Yes, <em>exponential</em> functions with bases greater than 1 will surpass <em>polynomic</em> function at any point x such that x > 0.
h) The domain represents the set of x-values of a function and the range represents the set of y-values of a function. Then, the domain and range of each function is:
Case 1
Domain - All <em>real</em> numbers.
Range - All <em>real</em> numbers
Case 2
Domain - All <em>real</em> numbers.
Range - [6, +∞)
Case 3
Domain - All <em>real</em> numbers.
Range - (3, +∞)

Answer:
x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
Step-by-step explanation:
If <em>a</em> is a zero, then (<em>x-a</em>) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...
p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)
Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.
= (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)
We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.
= (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)
= x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160
p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
_____
The graph shows this polynomial has the required zeros.
