Parallel lines need to have same slope
The lines have different slopes
It is false.
The half life would be about 3 so making the percentage About 25%
We can write this as:-
P(x) = + x^3 - 5x^2 - 25x + 125
There are 2 changes of real sign so by Descartes Rule of signs there are either 2 positive real roots or 0 positive roots.
P(-x) = - x^3 - 5x^2 + 25x + 125
There is just one change of sign so there is exactly 1 real negative root.
125 is a multiple of 5 so By rational root theorem 5 could be a positive root.
P(5) = 125 - 125 - 125 + 125 = 0 so one zero is 5
if we divide the polynomial by (x - 5) we get the quadratic
x^2 - 25
(x + 5)(x - 5) = 0
x = 5,-5
so the roots are 5 (multiplicity 2) and -5.
2 real positive zeroes and one real negative zero
-167, because if you solve -18-x=9, x will be equal to -27. When you put -27 in place of the x in -5+6x, you get -167. Have a nice day!
