Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If x - 1 is a factor of the cubic, then 1 should result in 0 when you put it in the cubic for x. Does it?
f(1) = 2(1)^3 - 15(1)^2 + 22(1) + 15
f(1) = 2 - 15 + 22 + 15
f(1)= 24.
No the result is not zero. So x - 1 is not a factor.
However there must be something that makes this cubic go to zero. The easiest way to find it is to graph it.
The numbers that do make this zero are -0.5, 3, 5
Which mean that the factors are (2x+1)(x-3)(x - 5)
Answer:
Given two linearly independent vectors w and z
We want -w-z
Hence apply a negative gradient to w
w=-<-5,3> =<5,-3>
So <5,-3>-<1,4> = (<5-1>,<-3-4>)
The answer is <4,-7>

the n th term (explicit ) formula for a geometric sequence is
= 
The given explicit formula therefore has
= 5 and r = - 
The recursive formula, allows us to find the next term in the sequence from the previous term
Here the next term in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous term by -
= 
(- ) with = 5
Perimeter (P) = 2 · Length(L) + 2 · Width (W) → P = 2L + 2W
Solve for either L or W (I am solving for L).
200 - 2W = 2L
(200 - 2W)/2 = L
100 - W = L
Area (A) = Length (L) · Width (W)
= (100 - W) · W
= 100W - W²
Find the derivative, set it equal to 0, and solve:
dA/dW = 100 - 2W
0 = 100 - 2W
W = 50
refer to the equation above for L:
100 - W = L
100 - 50 = L
50 = L
Dimensions for the maximum Area are 50 ft x 50 ft
7/8 = x/48
Perform cross multiplication:
a/b = c/d
ad = bc
a = 7 ; b = 8 ; c = x ; d = 48
7*48 = 8x
336 = 8x
336/8 = x
42 = x
7/8 = 42/48
42 ÷ 6 = 7
48 ÷ 6 = 8
