The change in water vapor in a cloud is modeled by a polynomial function, C(x). C(x) = x^3+ 5x^2+3x+30 Describe how to find the

x-intercepts of C(x) and how to construct a rough graph of C(x) so that the meteorologist can predict when there will be no change in the water vapor.

Answer:

Suppose the equation that describes the change in water vapor in a cloud (y) with respect to temperature (x): C(x) = x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10

You find the x-intercepts of the cubic equation by finding the roots. Let y be zero:

x³ - 4x² - 7x + 10 = 0

Now, find possible factors of the constant term in the equation: 10. These could be 1, 2, 5, and 10. Suppose we choose 1. We substitute x=1. If the answer is zero, then x=1 is one of the roots.

(1)³ - 4(1)² - 7(1) + 10 = 0

Hence, x=1 or x-1 = 0 is one of the roots. We use this to manipulate the rest of the terms in the original equation, such that you can factor out (x-1). Substitute -x² - 3x² to -4x³ because they are just equal. Same is true for +3x - 10x for -7x:

x³ -x² - 3x²+3x - 10x + 10 = 0

Factor out like terms such that they have a common factor of (x-1) as much as possible.

x³ -x² = x²(x-1)

- 3x²+3x = -3x(x-1)

- 10x + 10 = -10(x-1)

The factored equation is:

x²(x-1)-3x(x-1)-10(x-1) = 0

Factor out (x-1):

(x-1)(x²-3x-10) = 0

Now, we have the quadratic equation left to be solved:x²-3x-10

Use the quadratic formula to find the roots:

x = [-b +/- √(b²-4ac)]/2a,

The a, b and c coefficients are based on the general form of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c. Hence, a=1, b=-3 and c=-10. Substituting the values:

x = [-(-3) +/- √((-3)²-4(1)(-10))]/2(1)

x = 5, -2

Therefore, the roots of the cubic equations are x = 1, x = 5 and x =- 2. These are the x-intercepts of the equation. At temperatures °C, 5°C and -2°C, there is no change in water vapor in a cloud. The graph is shown in the attached picture

Robin, who is self-employed, contributes $4500/year into a Keogh account. How much will he have in the account after 30 years if
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The amount that would be in the account after 30 years is $368,353

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the amount that will be present in the account after 30 years if the interest is compounded yearly

We proceed to use the formula below;

A = [P(1 + r)^t-1]/r

From the question;

P is the amount deposited yearly which is $4,500

r is the interest rate = 2.5% = 2.5/100 = 0.025

t is the number of years which is 30

Substituting these values into the equation, we have;

A = [4500(1 + 0.025)^30-1]/0.025

A = [4500(1.025)^29]/0.025

A = 368,353.3309607034

To the nearest whole dollars, this is;

$368,353

Chris Shopper received a $1,000 discount loan to purchase a washer and dryer. The loan was offered at 12% for 120 days. What are
Anni [7]
The loan proceeds will be given as follows:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
Plugging the values we obtain
n=4 months=
A=1000(1+12/3*100)^1
A=$1040
hence the proceeds will be:
1040-1000=$40
