Answer:

There are two rational roots for f(x)

Explanation:

We are given a function

f(x) = x^6-2x^4-5x^2+6f(x)=x6−2x4−5x2+6

To find the number of rational roots for f(x).

Let us use remainder theorem that when

f(a) =0, (x-a) is a factor of f(x) or x=a is one solution.

Substitute 1 for x

f(1) = 1-2-5+6=0

Hence x=1 is one solution.

Let us try x=-1

f(-1) = 1-2-5+6 =0

So x =-1 is also a solution and x+1 is a factor

We can write f(x) by trial and error as

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x^2-3)f(x)=(x−1)(x+1)(x2−3)

We find that f(x) (x^2-3)f(x)(x2−3) factor gives two irrational solutions as

±√3.

Hence number of rational roots are 2.

Un camión traslada 12 vehículos. Algunos son autos y otros son camionetas. Cada auto tiene una masa de 2 toneladas y cada camion
bagirrra123 [75]

Encontrando y resolviendo un sistema de ecuaciones, veremos que hay 9 camionetas y 3 autos.

Sabemos que hay 12 vehículos en el camión.

Definamos:

  • a = número de autos
  • c = número de camionetas.

tal que a + c = 12

La masa total será:

a*2 ton + c*3 ton

Y sabemos que el camión lleva 33 toneladas, entonces tenemos:

a*2 ton + c*3 ton = 33 ton

Así encontramos el sistema de ecuaciones:

a + c = 12

a*2 ton + c*3 ton = 33 ton

Para resolverlo, primero aislamos una de las variables en una de las ecuaciones, aislemos a en la primera:

a = 12 - c

Ahora reemplazamos esto en la otra:

(12 - c)*2 ton + c*3 ton = 33 ton

24 ton + c*1 ton = 33 ton

c*1 ton = 9 ton.

c = 9

Es decir, hay 9 camionetas.

Entonces los 3 vehículos restantes son autos.

Hay 9 camionetas y 3 autos.
