Which of the following represents the zeros of f(x) = x3 − 11x2 + 38x − 40?
Delvig [45]
The answer is <span>5, 4, 2
</span>
Among all choices we have 5, so
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
Let's divide the expression by (x - 5) using the long division:
                          x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40
(x - 5)  * x² =      x³ - 5x²                   Subtract
____________________________
                              -6x² + 38x - 40
   (x - 5) * (-6x) =    -6x² + 30x          Subtract
____________________________
                                           8x - 40
                    (x - 5) * 8 =     8x - 40   Sutract
____________________________
                                              0

Thus: x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x² - 6x + 8)

Now, let's simplify x² - 6x + 8.

x² - 6x + 8 = x² - 2x - 4x + 8 =
                  = x² - 2*x - (4*x - 4*2) = 
                  = x(x - 2) - 4(x - 2) =
                  = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Hence:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = (x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2)
To calculate zero:
x³ - 11x² + 38x - 40 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x - 5 = 0            or             x - 4 = 0              or      x - 2 = 0
x = 5                 or              x = 4                   or      x = 2

Does anyone know how to solve |4x+3|-9&lt;5
elixir [45]

Answer in fraction form:   -17/4 < x < 11/4

Answer in decimal form:   -4.25 < x < 2.75

=======================================================

Work Shown:

|4x+3| - 9 < 5

|4x+3| < 5+9 .... adding 9 to both sides

|4x+3| < 14

-14 < 4x+3 <  14 .... see note at the bottom

-14-3 < 4x < 14-3 .... subtracting 3 from all sides

-17 < 4x < 11

-17/4 < x < 11/4 .... divide all sides by 4

-4.25 < x < 2.75

This says that x is between -4.25 and 2.75, but x is not equal to either endpoint.

Note: I used the rule that |x| < k becomes -k < x < k where k is a positive real number.

To complete her holiday wrapping Bella needs identical strips of ribbon measuring 3.5 feet each she has 85 feet of ribbon in tot
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

She can cut 24 ribbon from this long strip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Bella needs identical strips of ribbon measuring 3.5 feet each.

She has 85 feet of ribbon.

3.5 feet is length of 1 ribbon.

1    feet is length of \frac{1}{3.5} ribbon

85 feet is length of \frac{1\times 85}{3.5} ribbon

                              ≈24.28

\frac{85}{3.5}=\frac{85\times10}{35}=\frac{85\times2}{7}=\frac{170}{7}

7) 170(24

   14

_______

     30

     28

  ______

        2

So, she can cut 24 ribbon from this long strip.
