Suppose the graph of a cubic polynomial function has the same zeroes and passes through the coordinate (0, –5).

Write the equation of this cubic polynomial function.

Recall that the zeroes are (2, 0), (3, 0), and (5, 0). What is the y-intercept of this graph?
-5

The linear factors of the cubic are

Answers

Answer 1
Zeros are the x values which make the function equal to zero. Set it up as you would for a binomial with a constant multiplier "k" to account for the y-intercept (0, -5) given.

f(x) = k(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)

Use the y-intercept (0,-5) to solve for k.

-5 = k(0-2)(0-3)(0-5)
-5 = -30k
-5/-30 = k
1/6 = k


The cubic polynomial function is then ..

f(x) = (1/6)(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)
 

Linear factors are the linear (line) expressions you can factor out of the polynomial. They are (x-2), (x-3) and (x-5).


Answer 2

The cubic polynomial equation which passes through the coordinate (0,-5) and whose zeroes are (2 , 0), (3 , 0), and (5 , 0) is: [tex]y = \dfrac{1}{6}(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)[/tex] and it can be determine by arithmetic operations.

Given :

A cubic polynomial whose zeroes are (2 , 0), (3 , 0), and (5 , 0).Cubic polynomial equation passes through (0 , -5).

Arithmetic operations can be used to determine the cubic polynomial equation. The generalised cubic polynomial equation is given by:

[tex]y = K(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)[/tex]

Where, K is constant and a, b, and c are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial equation. Therefore, the value of a, b, and c are 2, 3, and 5 respectively.

[tex]y = K(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)[/tex]   ----- (1)

It is given that cubic polynomial equation passes through (0 , -5). So, put x = 0 and y = -5 in equation (1) to evaluate the value of K.

[tex]-5=K(0-2)(0-3)(0-5)[/tex]

[tex]5=30K[/tex]

[tex]K = \dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

Therefore the cubic polynomial equation is given by:

[tex]y = \dfrac{1}{6}(x-2)(x-3)(x-5)[/tex]

Which of the following is true regarding the solution to the logarithmic equation below?

Answers

Answer:

Option C. is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is [tex]log_{2}(x+11)=4[/tex]

We further solve this

[tex](x+11)=2^{4}=16[/tex]

[tex]x = 16-11=5[/tex]

Now we evaluate the options

A). [tex]log_{5}16\neq 2[/tex]

But the expression is given as [tex]log_{2}(x+11)=4[/tex]

Wrong expression so not correct.

B). [tex]log_{5}16\neq 4[/tex]

Wrong expression again so not correct

C). By putting x = 5 in the expression

[tex]log_{2}(x+11)=4[/tex]

[tex]log_{2}(5+11)=log_{2}(16)=log_{2}(2^{4})=4[/tex]

Therefore this option is the correct option.

D). By putting x = 5 in the expression

[tex]log_{4}(5+11)=log_{4}(16)=log_{4}(4^{2})=2[/tex]

But the expression is [tex]log_{2}(x+11)=4[/tex]

So this option is also not correct.

The diameter of your bicycle wheel is 25 inches. How far will you move in two turns of your wheel? Use 3.14 for π.
A) about 39 inches
B) about 78 inches
C) about 157 inches
D) about 314 inches

Answers


[tex]circumference \: = 2\pi \: r [/tex]
diameter = 25 inches
radius = 25/2
= 12.5 inches

= 2(3.14)(12.5)
= 78.5 inches ( for a turn )

Two turns = 78.5 inches X 2
= 157 inches

C.

Answer: D) About 314 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the radius of the wheel = 25 inches

Also, the angle in one turns of the wheel [tex]= 2\pi[/tex]

⇒ The angle in 2 turn of the wheel [tex]= 4\pi[/tex]

Hence, the distance it will cover in two turns

[tex]= 4\pi\times 25[/tex]       ( Arc length = central angle × radius)

[tex]= 4\times 3.14\times 25[/tex]

[tex]=314.159265\approx 314\text{ inches}[/tex]

In a "torture test" a light switch is turned on and off until it fails. if the probability that the switch will fail any time it is turned on or off is 0.001, what is the probability that the switch will fail after it has been turned on or off 1,200 times?

Answers

The probability that the switch does not fail is 1-0.001=0.999. In order to switch the lights off and on 1200 times, we need to press the switch 2400 times. Each event is assumed independent from the others; when we press the switch, its probability that it will fail is not influenced by the previous pressing of the switch. Thus, the probability that it won't fail after 2 times is 0.999*0.999=0.999^2. Similarly, we get that the required probability is : [tex]P=0.999^{2400}=0.091[/tex]
This is a relatively low probability. We see that even if the probability that the switch fails one time is very low, after many repetitions it becomes quite probable that the switch will fail at least one time.

Final answer:

The probability of a light switch failing after 1,200 operations can be calculated by first finding the likelihood of it not failing across those operations with the formula [tex]0.999^{1200}[/tex], and then subtracting that result from 1.

Explanation:

The question asks about the probability that a light switch will fail after being turned on or off 1,200 times, given that the probability it will fail on any given operation is 0.001. This can be approached by calculating the probability that the switch does not fail in all 1,200 operations and then subtracting that probability from 1.

To calculate the probability of the switch not failing in a single operation, we subtract the failure probability from 1: 1 - 0.001 = 0.999. The probability of the switch not failing in all 1,200 operations is [tex]0.999^{1200}[/tex].

Finally, the probability of the switch failing at least once in 1,200 operations is [tex]1 - 0.999^{1200}[/tex]. When you calculate this, it gives the probability of failure after 1,200 operations.

Answers

The angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β} = 31.22°.

What is the meaning of the angle of depression?

Its an angle that is formed with the horizontal line if the line of sight is downward from the horizontal line.

Given is that a building that is 115 feet tall casts a shadow that is 190 feet long

Assume that the angle of elevation or the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β}. Then, with respect to the question, we can write -

tan{β} = (height of building)/(length of shadow)

tan{β} = (115/190)

tan{β} = 0.606

{β} = tan⁻¹(0.606)

{β} = 31.22°

Therefore, the angle at which the rays of the sun hit the ground is equivalent to {β} = 31.22°.

Using the definition of even and odd functions explain why y= sin x+ 1 is neither even or odd ?
Can you show how you worked it out cause I'm not sure on how to plug it in exactly

Answers

A function is even if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = f (x).
 The even functions have reflective symmetry through the y-axis.
 A function is odd if, for each x in the domain of f, f (- x) = - f (x).
 The odd functions have rotational symmetry of 180º with respect to the origin.

 For y = without x + 1 we have:
 Let's see if it's even: 
 f (-x) = sin (-x) + 1
 f (-x) = -sin (x) + 1
 It is NOT even because it does not meet f (- x) = f (x)
 Let's see if it's odd: 
 f (-x) = sin (-x) + 1
 f (-x) = -sin (x) + 1
 It is NOT odd because it does not comply with f (- x) = - f (x)
 Answer:
 It is not even and it is not odd.

The area of a square is greater than the area of the circle by 12 cm². find the length of the side of a square if the area of the circle is 36 cm².

Answers

Area of the square: 36 cm^2 + 12cm^2
                     48cm^2

area of a square: side x side
48cm^2=side1^2 (sides of squares are all equal, so the same length is being multiplied by itself)

√ 48 cm^2

one side: 
4√ 3 cm, or approximately 6.93cm

Final answer:

To find the length of a side of the square, calculate the square root of the sum of the areas of the circle (36 cm²) and the additional 12 cm². This results in a square side length of approximately 6.93 cm.

Explanation:

We are given that the area of the circle is 36 cm², and we know that the area of a square is greater than the area of the circle by 12 cm², which means the area of the square is 36 cm² + 12 cm² = 48 cm².

The area of a square is given by A = a², where a is the length of the side of the square. So, we need to find the value of a that satisfies the equation a² = 48 cm².

By taking the square root of both sides of the equation, we get a = √(48 cm²). Simplifying the square root of 48 gives us a ≈ 6.93 cm. Therefore, the length of a side of the square is approximately 6.93 cm.

What is the value of n? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that  when two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal. Thus, using this property, we have

[tex](n+8)5=(n+4)7[/tex]

⇒[tex]5n+40=7n+28[/tex]

⇒[tex]40-28=7n-5n[/tex]

⇒[tex]12=2n[/tex]

⇒[tex]n=6[/tex]

Thus, the value of n is 6.

Answer:

[tex]n=6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a circle. We are asked to find the value of n.

We can see that two chords of our given circle are intersecting inside it, so we will use intersecting chords theorem to solve for n.

Intersecting chords theorem states that when two chords of a circle intersect inside the circle, then product of the segments of both chords is equal.

Using intersecting chords theorem we can set an equation as:

[tex]5(n+8)=7(n+4)[/tex]

Using distributive property [tex]a(b+c)=a*b+a*c[/tex] we will get,

[tex]5*n+5*8=7*n+7*4[/tex]

[tex]5n+40=7n+28[/tex]

Subtracting 40 and 7n from both sides we will get,

[tex]5n-7n+40-40=7n-7n+28-40[/tex]

[tex]-2n=-12[/tex]

Dividing both sides by -2 we will get,

[tex]\frac{-2n}{-2}=\frac{-12}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]n=6[/tex]

Therefore, the value of n is 6.

The surface area of a box is 160. the length of the box is twice its width as well as 4 less than its height. how many units are in the height of the box? (the surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of all 6 of its rectangular faces.) aops

Answers

Width = n
Length = 2n
Height = 2n + 4
2 (n x 2n) = 4n^2
2 (n x (2n + 4)) = 4n^2 + 8n
2 (2n x (2n + 4)) = 8n^2 + 16n

4n^2 + 4n^2 + 8n + 8n^2 + 16n = 160
16n^2 + 24n = 160
(Divide everything by 8)
2n^2 + 3n = 20
2n^2 + 3n - 20 = 0
(2n - 5)(n + 4) = 0

n = 2.5 Or n = -4

However n can not be less than 0

So n = 2.5
Height =2n +4
=2(2.5) +4
=5+4
=9

Final Answer:

The height of the box is 9 units.

Explanation:

Let's denote the width of the box as w, the length as l, and the height as h. According to the problem, we have the following relationships:
l = 2w (the length is twice the width) and
l = h - 4 (the length is also 4 less than the height).

The surface area SA of a rectangular box is calculated by the formula:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Given that the surface area is 160, we set up our equation:
160 = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh.

Now let's substitute the relations l = 2w and l = h - 4 into the surface area equation:
Since l = 2w, 160 = 2(2w)w + 2(2w)h + 2wh.

Simplifying the equation, we have:
160 = 4w² + 4wh + 2wh
160 = 4w² + 6wh

Now we use the fact that l = h - 4 to substitute for h:
h = l + 4
h = 2w + 4

Now substitute h back into the surface area equation:
160 = 4w² + 6w(2w + 4) ,

Expand the terms:
160 = 4w² + 12w^2 + 24w,

Combine like terms:
160 = 16w² + 24w

Now, we must solve for w. Let's move all terms to one side to solve the quadratic equation:
16w² + 24w - 160 = 0

Divide all terms by 8 to simplify:
2w² + 3w - 20 = 0

We can now attempt to factor the quadratic equation:
(2w - 5)(w + 4) = 0

This gives us two solutions:
2w - 5 = 0 or  w + 4 = 0

Solving the first equation for w:
2w = 5,[tex]\( w = \frac{5}{2} \)[/tex]

w = 5/2
We can disregard the second solution w + 4 = 0 for w, as it gives us a negative width, which isn't possible for a box.

Now that we have w, we can find h.
Using our earlier substitute for h:
h = 2w + 4 ,
[tex]h = 2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} + 4[/tex] ,
h = 5 + 4 ,
h = 9 .
Thus, the height of the box is 9 units.

y =  -------- + 4 <------- the fourth option
      (x + 3)

Explanation:

1) Given function:

y = f(x) = 2 / x

2) Translatiing 3 units to the left is making f(x + 3), so that implies:

y = 2 / (x + 3)

3) Translating 4 units up is making f(x + 3) + 4, so that implies:
      
          2
y =  -------- + 4
      (x + 3)

Which is the fourth option.


Question 2.  simplify

t^2 + 2t - 24
----------------
  t^2 - 36

Answer: fourth option

t - 4
------ , with t ≠ - 6 and t ≠ 6.
t + 6

Explanation:

1) Factor the numerator:

t^2 + 2t - 24 = (t + 6) (t - 4)

2) Factor the denominator:

t^2 - 36 = (t + 6) (t - 6)

3) Rewrite the fraction:

 (t + 6) (t - 4)
-------------------
(t + 6) (t - 6)

4) Cancel the factor t + 6 which is in both numerator and denominator, which you can do only y t + 6 ≠ 0 => t ≠ -6.

 t - 4
-------
 t - 6

That is the simplified expression, with the restrictions that t ≠ - 6  and t ≠ 6, because the denominator cannot be 0.

Answer: the fhird option:


(x + 5) (x - 6)
------------------
        x - 1

with x ≠ -3, x ≠ - 2, and x ≠ 1.

Explanation:

1) Factor x^2 + 7x + 10

x^2 + 7x + 10 = (x + 5) (x + 2)

2) Factor x^2 - 3x - 18

x^2 - 3x - 18 = (x - 6)(x + 3)

3) Factor x^2 + x - 2

x^2 + x - 2 = (x + 2) (x - 1)

4) Rewrite the given expression using the factors:

  (x + 5) (x + 2) (x - 6) (x + 3)
--------------------------------------
     (x + 3) (x + 2) (x - 1)

5) Cancel the factors that appear on both the numerator and denominator:

 (x + 5) (x - 6)

              n + 1
            ----------
              n + 3

3) Convert (n + 1) / (n + 3) into its reciprocal (n + 3) / (n + 1), and multiply instead of dividing.


             n - 4              n + 3
    ---------------------  * --------
      (n - 5) ( n + 3)      ( n + 1)

4) Cancel n + 3

       n - 4
------------------
(n - 5) ( n + 3)


That is the simplest form.

Question 5. Find the difference

Answer: second choice

 1 - n
--------
 n + 4

Explanation:


1) given:

n^2 + 3n + 2        2n
----------------- -   -------
n^2 + 6n + 8       n + 4

2) factor the two quadratic trinomials

n^2 + 3n + 2 = (n + 2) ( n + 1)

n^2 + 6n + 8 = (n + 4) (n + 2)

3) Rewrite the expression:

   (n + 2) (n + 1)          2n
-----------------------  -  -------
   (n + 4 ) (n + 2)       n + 4

4) cancel the factor n + 2

   n + 1          2n
-----------  -   --------
   n + 4         n + 4

5) subract the fractions. They have the same denominator.

  n + 1 - 2n           1 - n
--------------- =     ----------
    n + 4                n + 4

And that is the simples form.

Question 6.  Problem

Irina paints 1 room in 9 hours
Paulo paints 1 room in 8 hours

How long working together?

Answer:

x / 9 + x / 8 = 1, x ≈ 4.24 hours

Explanation:

1) In the time x, Irina will paint x / 9 parts of the room

2) Paulo will paint (in the same time) x / 8 parts of the same room

3) The total painted is 1 room.

So the equation is:

x / 9 + x / 8 = 1

4) The solution of that equation is:

[8x + 9x ] / (9*8) = 1

=> 8x + 9x = 72

=> 17x = 72

=> x = 72 / 17

=> x ≈ 4.24 hours

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
A reflecting telescope is purchased by a library for a new astronomy program. The telescope has a horizontal parabolic frame and contains two mirrors, 3 inches apart from each other- the first in the base and the second at the focal point. The astronomy teacher would like to attach a digital monitoring system on the edge of the telescope, creating a straight line distance above the focal point. Assuming that the telescope is placed on the edge of the roof in such a way that it is parallel to the ground, the position of the monitoring system, in relationship to the distance between the base and the focal point is modeled by the equation, x =[tex] \frac{1}{12} [/tex] y2 (x = the distance between the base and the focal point; y= the height of the monitoring system).

Rewrite the model so that the height of the digital monitoring system is a function of the distance between the base and the focal point of the telescope. How high above the focal point is the digital monitoring system attached to the telescope? Include your function and the height, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, in your final answer.

Answers

Hello! To rewrite the model so that the height of the digital monitoring system is a function of the distance between the base and the focal point of the telescope, we simply need to alter the equation such that the other side would be left with y alone.

[tex]x= \frac{1}{12} y^{2} [/tex]
[tex]12x=y^{2}[/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{12x}=y [/tex]
[tex]f(x)=2 \sqrt{3x} [/tex]

We have replaced y with f(x) to show that it is a function.

For the second part we just use the fact that the two mirrors are 3 inches apart. From the definition of the variables we know that this is just the value of x. We plug this into the function to know how high above the focal point the digital monitoring system is attached.

[tex]f(3)=2 \sqrt{3(3)}=2\sqrt{9}=2(3)=6[/tex]

ANSWER: The function is given by [tex]f(x)=2 \sqrt{3x} [/tex] and the digital monitoring system is 6.0 inches above the focal point.

Final answer:

To find the height of the digital monitoring system, we rearrange the given parabolic equation to solve for y, substitute the known distance of 3 inches, and determine that the monitoring system is attached 6 inches above the focal point.

Explanation:

The equation given for the reflecting telescope by the library for their astronomy program is x = \frac{1}{12} y^2. To solve for the height of the digital monitoring system as a function of the distance x, we need to rewrite the equation in terms of y. First, we multiply both sides by 12 to get 12x = y^2. Then, take the square root of both sides to solve for y, which gives us y = \sqrt{12x}. Given that the distance between the base and the focal point is 3 inches, we substitute x with 3 to find the height of the monitoring system. Thus, we have y = \sqrt{12 \cdot 3} which simplifies to y = \sqrt{36} or y = 6 inches. This means the digital monitoring system is attached 6 inches above the focal point of the telescope.
