f(x) = 4x^4 – 2x^3 – 3x^2 + 6x - 9 Find the Zeros Using Descartes' Rule of Signs

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

So possibilities of zeroes are:

Positive       Negative       Imaginary

   1                    1                   2

   3                   1                   0

Zeroes = -1.4549, 1.2658, 0.34457-1.0503i, 0.34457+1.0503i.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Descartes' Rule of Signs is used to find the signs of zeroes not the exact value.

The given function is

[tex]f(x)=4x^4-2x^3-3x^2+6x-9[/tex]

Degree of polynomial is 4 so number of zeroes is 4.

There are three sign changes, so there are either 3 positive zeros or 1 positive zero.

Now, put x=-x in f(x).

[tex]f(-x)=4(-x)^4-2(-x)^3-3(-x)^2+6(-x)-9[/tex]

[tex]f(-x)=4x^4+2x^3-3x^2-6x-9[/tex]

There is one variation in sign change, so there is 1 negative zero.

So possibilities of zeroes are:

Positive       Negative       Imaginary

   1                    1                   2

   3                   1                   0

Using graphing calculator the zeroes of given function are -1.4549, 1.2658, 0.34457-1.0503i and 0.34457+1.0503i.

Bob and Dan earned a total of $72
shoveling snow. If Bob earned 3 times as
much as Dan, how much did each boy
earn?

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If Dan earns $x then Bob earns $3x ( 3 times as much as Dan ), then

x + 3x = 72 , that is

4x = 72 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 18

Thus

Dan earns $18 and Bob earns 3 × $18 = $54

The earning of Bob will be 54 dollars and the earning of Dan will be 18 dollars.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Let the earning by Bob be x and the earning by Dan be y.

Bob and Dan earned a total of $72 shoveling snow. Then the equation will be

x + y = 72 ...1

If Bob earned 3 times as much as Dan. Then the equation will be

x = 3y   ...2

Substitute the value of x in equation 1, then the equation will be

3y + y = 72

     4y = 72

       y = $18

Then the money earned by Bob will be

x = 3y

x = 3(18)

x = $54

Thus, the earning of Bob will be 54 dollars and the earning of Dan will be 18 dollars.

Sub the values in

It is easier to keep it in terms of pi until the end

Now, calculate the area of the triangle within the sector

area = 1/2 ab x sinC

where 'a' and 'b' are the radius (side lengths) and C is the angle

thus,

area = 1/2(15 x 15) x sin(56)

area = 93.27 (to 2 d.p)

Now subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the sector

Gemma wants to draw a triangle with side lengths of 4 inches, 12 inches, and 17 inches. Which statement is true? This triangle exists because the sum of any two side lengths is greater than the length of the third side. This triangle exists because the sum of 4 and 12 is less than 17. This triangle does not exist because the sum of any two side lengths is greater than the length of the third side. This triangle does not exist because the sum of 4 and 12 is less than 17.

Answers

Answer:

The triangle inequality states that the sum of the lengths of the two shortest sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the largest side. Because 4 + 12 > 17 is not a true statement, the answer is "This triangle does not exist because the sum of 4 and 12 is less than 17."

Answer:

This triangle does not exist due to the fact that the sum of 4 and 12 is less than 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle formaction rule states that the 2 smaller sides must be able to combine and be greater than the greatest side.

Triangle

Sides - 3, 4, 5

3+4=7

Meaning the two smaller sides add up to because greater than 5.

Non-Triangle

Sides - 5, 6, 13

5+6=11

This means that this is not a triangle because the smaller sides ‘5 and 6’ do not add up to become greater than 13.

Gemma’s Triangle

Sides - 4, 12, 17

4+12=16

Hence, Gemma‘s figure is not a triangle because the 2 smaller sides ‘4 and 12’ don‘t add up to be greater than 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nine-banded armadillos always give birth to quadruplets—four identical babies (called pups). Jenny’s armadillo has produced four female pups. Jenny realizes that each of those pups could eventually have four more armadillos.

a. How many armadillos would Jenny have if the four pups grew up to have four more pups each?
b. What if every generation of Jenny’s armadillos was female? How many armadillos would there be if you only count the ones in the 5th generation? Can you write a formula for the number of armadillos in any given generation? Please explain what each variable and each number in your formula means.
c. According to this formula the world should be overrun with armadillos after 20 to 25 generations. Why isn’t this true in real life?

Answer:

a. 16; b. aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹; c. predation and carrying capacity will limit the population

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The first female had 4 pups.

If each of them had 4 pups, there would be 4 × 4 = 4² = 16 pups.

b. 1st generation                        =     1 pup

2nd generation = 4 ×  1 pup      =    4 pups

3rd generation  = 4 ×  4 pups    =  16 pups

4th generation  = 4 × 16 pups    = 64 pups

5th generation  = 4 × 64 pups = 256 pups

The sequence is           1,   4, 16, 64, 256, …

We can also write it as 4⁰, 4¹, 4²,  4³,   4⁴, …

Note that the exponent is one less than the number of the generation.

Thus, the general formula for the nth term, aₙ, is

aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹, where

n = the number of the generation

a = the number of pups in that generation.

c. a₂₅ = 4²⁵⁻¹ = 4²⁴ ≈ 281 000 000 000 000 or 281 trillion

The population would not reach that number because there would not be enough food for all those pups. Pups would die of starvation until their numbers equalled the carrying capacity of the ecosystem and would level off at that point.

There would also be increased predation by coyotes, bobcats, etc. This would also keep the population growth in check,

3. In the diagram, PRST and PQWV are rectangles. Q, V
and U are midpoints of PR, PU and PT respectively.
Find the area of the shaded region.​

Answers

Answer: 122.5 square cm

======================================================

Work Shown:

A = area of trapezoid RSTU

A = height*(base1+base2)/2

A = ST*(UT+RS)/2

A = 14*(5+10)/2

A = 105 square cm

-----------------------

B = area of rectangle PQWV

B = length*width

B = WV*PV

B = 7*2.5

B = 17.5 square cm

If you're curious how I got PV = 2.5, you basically cut PT = 10 in half twice. So you go from 10 to 5, then from 5 to 2.5; which works because we have a bunch of midpoints.

-----------------------

C = total shaded area

C = A + B

C = 105 + 17.5

C = 122.5
