f(x)=x^3-4x^2+x+6 find all the real zeros of the function

Answers

Answer 1

The zeroes of the polynomial  f(x)= x³ - 4x² + x + 6 = 0 are x - 1, x = 2
and x = 3.

What is a factor of a polynomial?

We know that if x = a is one of the roots of a given polynomial x - a = 0 is a factor of the given polynomial.

To confirm if x - a = 0 is a factor of a polynomial we replace f(x) with f(a) and if the remainder is zero then it is confirmed that x - a = 0 is a factor.

Given, f(x)= x³ - 4x² + x + 6 = 0.

Now, zeroes of the polynomial should be factors of 6 they are ±1, ±2. ±3, ±6.

Now at x = 1 f(x) = 4 so not a zero, at x = - 1, f(x) = 0 so x = - 1 a zero

at x = 2 f(x) = 0 so x = 2 is a zero,

at x = 2 f(x) = so x = 3 is a zero.

An investor invested a total of 57000 into two bonds. One bond paid 3% simple interest, and the other paid 2 7/8% interest. The investor earned a total of $1676.25 in annual interest. How much was originally invested in each account?

Answers

Answer:

$30,000 (at 3%) and $27,000 (at 2 7/8%)

Explanation:

The investor invested a total of 57000

• Let the amount invested at 3% simple interest = x

,

• Then, the amount invested at 2 7/8% simple interest = 57000-x

Recall the formula for simple interest:

[tex]Simple\: Interest=\frac{Principal\times Rate\times Time}{100}[/tex]

Interest at 3%

[tex]\begin{gathered} S\mathrm{}I\mathrm{}=\frac{x\times3\times1}{100} \\ =\frac{3x}{100} \\ =0.03x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Interest at 2 7/8%

[tex]\begin{gathered} SI=\frac{(57000-x)\times2\frac{7}{8}\times1}{100} \\ =\frac{2.875(57000-x)}{100} \\ =0.02875(57000-x) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Total Interest

The investor earned a total of $1676.25 in annual interest. Therefore:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.03x+0.02875(57000-x)=1676.25 \\ 0.03x+1638.75-0.02875x=1676.25 \\ 0.03x-0.02875x=1676.25-1638.75 \\ 0.00125x=37.5 \\ x=\frac{37.5}{0.00125} \\ x=30,000 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the amount invested at 3% simple interest = $30,000

The amount invested at 2 7/8% simple interest = 57,000-30,000 = $27,000

Answers

[tex]\text{volume of cone = }\frac{\pi\times r^2\times h}{3}[/tex]

where,

r is the base radius of the cone

h is the perpendicular height of the cone

In this case,

r = 10.5 / 2= 5.25in

h = 6.75in

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Therefore} \\ \text{volume of cone}=\frac{\pi\times5.25^2\times6.75}{3}=194.83in^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

A rectangular box, closed at the top, with a square base, is to have a volume of 4000 cm^ 3 . W What must be its dimensions (length, width, height ) if the box is to require the least possible material?

Answers

Solution

Area of square base of sides x is

[tex]Area=x^2[/tex]

Volume = 4000cm^3

[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume=Bh \\ B=Base\text{ }Area \\ h=height \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\begin{gathered} Volume=Bh \\ 4000=x^2h \\ \\ h=\frac{4000}{x^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

For the box to require the least possible material, is to simply minimize the surface area of the rectangular box

The surface Area is given as

[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=2(lw+wh+lh) \\ Since,\text{ it is a square base} \\ l=x \\ w=x \\ \\ Area=2(x^2+xh+xh) \\ Area=2(x^2+2xh) \\ Area=2(x^2+2x(\frac{4000}{x^2})) \\ \\ Area=\frac{16000}{x}+2x^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we differentiate

[tex]\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{16,000}{x}+2x^{2} \\ A=16000x^{-1}+2x^2 \\ By\text{ differentiating} \\ \frac{dA}{dx}=-16000x^{-2}+4x \\ \\ At\text{ minimum area, }\frac{dA}{dx}=0 \\ 4x=16000x^{-2} \\ x^3=4000 \\ x=10\sqrt[3]{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, to find h

[tex]\begin{gathered} h=\frac{4000}{x^2} \\ h=\frac{4000}{100(4)^{\frac{2}{3}}} \\ h=4^{\frac{1}{3}}\times10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hope earns $12.35 an hour plus time and a half for weekend work. Last week she worked her regular 45 hours plus 16 hours of overtime on the weekend.What was her total pay for the week?

Answers

Answer:

$852.23

Explanation:

Given the hourly rate as $12.35, let's go ahead and determine what Hope earns per hour for weekend work as seen below;

Time and a half rate (Overtime rate) = 1.5 x 12.35 = $18.53

So if Hope worked her regular 45 hours plus 16 hours of overtime on the weekend, we can go ahead and determine her total pay as seen below;

Total pay = Regular wages + Overtime Wages

= (12.35 x 45) + (18.53 x 16)

= 555.75 + 296.48

= $852.23

Seth's father is thinking of buying his son a summer movie pass for $30 dollars. With the pass, matinees cost $2 each. Without thepass each movie is normally $6. If Seth plans to go to 30 movies this summer how much money would he save?

Answers

Theres a number of passes to purchase

Normal price (without pass) is $6

If Seth goes to all 30 movies without pass he will spend

30x6 = $180 dollars

WITH the pass Seth have $30 dollars , then dividing by 2 , this means he can go to 30/2 = 15 movies in summer with pass

Then remains another 15 movies that he can vo WITHOUT PASS

in this 15 movies Seth spends 15x6= $90 dollars

add this to the $30 spent in the other 15 movie

it gives 30+90 = $120 dollars

Finally substract

$180- $120= $60 dollars he can save

What is the measure of angle B in this triangle?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add the degrees available to you, next, you need to count the variable and add them together, in this case, your problem should show, 40+20-30 for your degrees, which is 30 degrees. Next, you have an "x" and a "2x," therefore you add them together to get 3x. After doing this, you get to your 2-step equation, which should look like 30 + 3x = 180. You get 180 because that is the length of the triangle, it should always be 180. You can now start by subtracting 180 - 30, we switch the + and - when doing the first part. Now, you should have gotten, 150, with 150 you can divide it by 3, you divided by 3 because you switch the division and the multiplication, now you do 150 divided by 3, which is 50.
