Hi, can you help me to solve thisexercise, please!!For cach polynomial, LIST all POSSIBLE RATIONAL ROOTS•Find all factors of the leading coefficient andconstant value of polynonnal.•ANY RATIONAL ROOTS =‡ (Constant Factor over Leading Coefficient Factor)6x^3+7x^2-3x-1
1) We can do this by listing all the factors of -1, and the leading coefficient 6. So, we can write them as a ratio this way:
[tex]\frac{p}{q}=\pm\frac{1}{1,\:2,\:3,\:6}[/tex]Note that p stands for the constant and q the factors of that leading coefficient
2) Now, let's test them by plugging them into the polynomial. If it is a rational root it must yield zero:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x^3+7x^2-3x+1=0 \\ 6(\pm1)^3+7(\pm1)^2-3(\pm1)+1=0 \\ 71\ne0,5\ne0 \\ \frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2} \\ 6(\pm\frac{1}{2})^3+7(\pm\frac{1}{2})^2-3(\pm\frac{1}{2})+1=0 \\ 2\ne0,\frac{7}{2}\ne0 \\ \\ 6(\pm\frac{1}{3})^3+7(\pm\frac{1}{3})^2-3(\pm\frac{1}{3})+1=0 \\ 1\ne0,\frac{23}{9}\ne0 \\ \frac{1}{6},-\frac{1}{6} \\ 6(\frac{1}{6})^3+7(\frac{1}{6})^2-3(\frac{1}{6})+1=0 \\ \frac{13}{18}\ne0,-\frac{5}{3}\ne0 \end{gathered}[/tex]3) So the possible roots are:

The circle graph shows how the annual budget for a company is divided by department. If the amount budgeted for support, sales, and media combined is $25,000,000, what is the total annual budget?
Answer: $50,000,000
Explanation:
First, we add up the percentage of support, sales, and media covers. Given that:
Support = 23%
Sales = 22%
Media = 5%
The total percentage would be
[tex]23\%+22\%+5\%=50\%[/tex]This would mean that $25,000,000 covers half of the annual budget. The other half would be of the same amount, therefore, the total annual budget would be:

Given:
A lab assistant needs to create a 1000 ML mixture that is 5% hydroelectric acid.
The assistant has solutions of 3.5% and 6% in supply at the lab.
let the number of milliliters from the solution of 3.5% = x
And the number of milliliters from the solution of 6% = y
so, we can write the following equations:
The first equation, the sum of the two solutions = 1000 ml
So, x + y = 1000
The second equation, the mixture has a concentration of 5%
so, 3.5x + 6y = 5 * 1000
So, the system of equations will be as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=1000\rightarrow(1) \\ 3.5x+6y=5000\rightarrow(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we will find the solution to the system using the substitution method:
From equation (1)
[tex]x=1000-y\rightarrow(3)[/tex]substitute with (x) from equation (3) into equation (2):
[tex]3.5\cdot(1000-y)+6y=5000[/tex]Solve the equation to find (y):

The circumcenter of a triangle is the center of a circumference where the three vertex are included. So basically we must find the circumference that passes through points O, V and W. The equation of a circumference of a radius r and a central point (a,b) is:
[tex](x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2[/tex]We have three points which give us three pairs of (x,y) values that we can use to build three equations for a, b and r. Using point O=(6,5) we get:
[tex](6-a)^2+(5-b)^2=r^2[/tex]Using V=(0,13) we get:
[tex](0-a)^2+(13-b)^2=r^2[/tex]And using W=(-3,0) we get:
[tex](-3-a)^2+(0-b)^2=r^2[/tex]So we have a system of three equations and we must find three variables: a, b and r. All equations have r^2 at their right side. This means that we can take the left sides and equalize them. Let's do this with the second and third equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (0-a)^2+(13-b)^2=(-3-a)^2+(0-b)^2 \\ a^2+(13-b)^2=(-3-a)^2+b^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]If we develop the squared terms:
[tex]a^2+b^2-26b+169=a^2+6a+9+b^2[/tex]Then we substract a^2 and b^2 from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a^2+b^2-26b+169-a^2-b^2=a^2+6a+9+b^2-a^2-b^2 \\ -26b+169=6a+9 \end{gathered}[/tex]We substract 9 from both sides:
[tex]\begin{gathered} -26b+169-9=6a+9-9 \\ -26b+160=6a \end{gathered}[/tex]And we divide by 6:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-26b+160}{6}=\frac{6a}{6} \\ a=-\frac{13}{3}b+\frac{80}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we can replace a with this expression in the first equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (6-a)^2+(5-b)^2=r^2 \\ (6-(-\frac{13}{3}b+\frac{80}{3}))^2+(5-b)^2=r^2 \\ (\frac{13}{3}b-\frac{62}{3})^2+(5-b)^2=r^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]We develop the squares:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{13}{3}b-\frac{62}{3})^2+(5-b)^2=r^2 \\ \frac{169}{9}b^2-\frac{1612}{9}b+\frac{3844}{9}+b^2-10b+25=r^2 \\ \frac{178}{9}b^2-\frac{1702}{9}b+\frac{4069}{9}=r^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]So this expression is equal to r^2. This means that is equal
Which statement about the graph below is true?
Answer:
a. The relation is a function because every input has an output.
Step-by-step explanation:
a relation in which for every input there is exactly one output (for every x there is just one y)
quizlet
Answer:
A. The relation is a function because every input has an input
Step-by-step explanation:
A relation is a function as long as there are not multiple outputs for one input. It's okay if there are multiple inputs for one output, like we can see here with points (-6, 1) and (2, 1).
Another way to test if a graphed relation is a function is the vertical line test. Draw vertical lines at multiple spots on the graph and if any of the vertical lines touches 2 points, the graphed relation is not a function.

State the number of complex zeros and the possible number of real and imaginary zeros for each function. Then find all zeros. show all work
We have a cubic function
[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-47x-87[/tex]One way to find all the zeros is by factoring, we can easily find the first zero using the divisors test if we have an independent term, at our case it's -87, one of the divisors may be a zero. The divisors of -87 is 1, 3, 29 and 87.
If we check for all of the divisors we will see that -3 is a zero. (Check with both signals).
If -3 is a zero, the D'Alembert theorem tells us that f(x) is divisible by (x+3), if we do that division we'll have a quadratic function where we can just apply the quadratic formula, then
There's a theorem that says that, if f(a) is a zero, i.e f(a) = 0, and f(x) is a polynomial, then f(x) is divisible by (x-a), in other words, we can divide f(x) by (x-a) and the rest of the division will be 0.
Therefore, let's divide our function by (x+3)
Then we can write our function as
[tex]f(x)=(x+3)(x^2-6x-29)[/tex]Look that now we have a quadratic function, and we can easily find its zeros, applying the quadratic formula
[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]We have a = 1, b = -6 and c = -29. Then
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt[]{36+4\cdot29}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt[]{156}}{2} \\ \\ x=\frac{6\pm2\sqrt[]{38}}{2} \\ \\ x=3\pm\sqrt[]{38} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we have all the zeros of f(x), it's
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-3 \\ \\ x=3+\sqrt[]{38} \\ \\ x=3-\sqrt[]{38} \end{gathered}[/tex]As we can see there's no complex zero, all the zeros are real numbers.
The max number of complex zeros is 2 because the complex zeros always come in pairs, so if we have 1 complex zero, automatically we have another, for a 3-degree equation, there's a maximum of 2 complex zeros and 1 real zero, or all the of them are real.
Then the correct answer is A)
Let f(x) = 2x² + 14x – 16 and g(x) = x+8. Perform the function operation and then find the domain of the result.(x) = (simplify your answer.)
We need to find the following division of the functions f(x) and g(x):
[tex]\frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{2x^2+14x-16}{x+8}[/tex]We can note that the numerator can be rewritten as
[tex]2x^2+14x-16=2(x^2+7x-8)=2(x+8)(x-1)[/tex]Then the division can be written as:
[tex]\frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{2(x+8)(x-1)}{x+8}[/tex]From this result, we can cancel out the term (x+8) from both sides and get,
[tex]\frac{f}{g}(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=2(x-1)[/tex]Therefore, the result of the division is:
[tex]\frac{f}{g}(x)=2(x-1)[/tex]which domain is all real numbers:

To accomplish this they decide to help the SalvationArmy with delivering hot meals to senior citizens. About a month ago, they decided tokeep track of how many successful deliveries they have each completed. As of today,Chase has successfully delivered 18 out of the 30 meals to senior citizens.Part AHow many more meals would Chase have to deliver in a row in order to have a 75%successful delivery record? Justify your answer.Part BHow many more meals would Chase have to deliver in a row in order to have a 90%successful delivery record? Justify your answer.PartAfter successfully delivering 18 out of 30 meals would Chase ever be able to reach a100% successful delivery record? Explain why or why not.
Part A.
Chase has successfully delivered 18 out of the 30 meals to senior citizens.
We have to calculate how many more meals (lets call it x) she has to deliver to have a 75% successful delivery record.
In order to do that, (18+x) meals have te be delivered successfully out of (30+x), and the successful meals (18+x) divided by (30+x) has to be 0.75:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{18+x}{30+x}=0.75 \\ 18+x=0.75(30+x) \\ 18+x=22.5+0.75x \\ x-0.75x=22.5-18 \\ 0.25x=4.5 \\ x=\frac{4.5}{0.25} \\ x=18 \end{gathered}[/tex]Chase has to deliver 18 more meals successfully in order to have a 75% success delivery record.
Part B.
We apply the same analysis but we replace 0.75 with 0.9 as the delivery record.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{18+x}{30+x}=0.9 \\ 18+x=0.9(30+x) \\ 18+x=27+0.9x \\ (1-0.9)x=27-18 \\ 0.1x=9 \\ x=\frac{9}{0.1} \\ x=90 \end{gathered}[/tex]Chase has to deliver 90 more meals successfully in order to have a 90% success delivery record.
Part C.
She won't be able to achieve 100% successful delivery record. We can prove it mathematically, but we already know as there are 12 meals that weren't successfully delivered, so we can get close to 100% but it can't never be reached.
Mathematically we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{18+x}{30+x}=1 \\ 18+x=30+x \\ x-x=30-18 \\ 0=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]This solution is not valid, so there is no valid solution for x.
Choose an equation that models the verbal scenario. The cost of a phone call is 7 cents to connect and an additional 6 cents per minute (m).
"The cost of a phone call is 7 cents to connect and an additional 6 cents per minute (m)"
If "C" indicates the total cost of a phone call and "m" corresponds to the number of minutes the phone call lasted.
The phone call costs 7 cents to connect, this means that regardless of the duration of the call, you will always pay this fee. This value corresponds to the y-intercept of the equation.
Then, the phone call costs 6 cents per minute, you can express this as "6m"
The total cost of the call can be calculated by adding the cost per minute and the fixed cost:
