    which set of values for x should be tested to determine the possible zeros of y = x^3 + 6x^2 - 10x + 35? (multiple choice)?

    Favourite answer:

    It's a cubic equation...

    so possible zeros are when

    0 = (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) 

    ==> 0 =x^3 -(a+b+c)x^2 + (ab + ac+bc)x -abc

    so

    -a*b*c = 35

    factoring 35... one of the factors must be negative

    So, looking at absolute values

    |1| * |1| * |35|

    |1| * |5| * |7|

    so c) is not right -- 12 is not among the factors above

    d) is not right -- one of the factors must be possibly negative

    a) is out, since one of the factors must be 1 or -1

    which leaves b) as the answer

    Can someone help me with this equation? Reducing to linear form using logs?

    Favourite answer:

    If you've worked it out, I think you should have posted your work and then asked for someone to review it. Otherwise it looks like you just want someone else to do the work.

    In any case, I'll do my best to help.

    Original equation:

    T = 2π√(l/g)

    Take the log of both sides:

    log(T) = log[2π√(l/g)]

    Use the product rule to turn the log of a product in a sum of logs:

    log(T) = log(2) + log(π) + log[√(l/g)]

    Looking at the third log, we know that a square root can be rewritten as raising something to the ½ power:

    log(T) = log(2) + log(π) + log[(l/g)^½]

    Using the power rule, we can bring ½ to the front:

    log(T) = log(2) + log(π) + ½ log(l/g)

    Finally, use the quotient rule to split the last log into a subtraction of logs.

    log(T) = log(2) + log(π) + ½[log(l) - log(g)]

    The solution an algebraic equation.?

    Favourite answer:

    It would be useful to memorize the following:

    lim (1 + 1/x)^x = e

    x→∞ 

    let x = n/r

    (1+r/n)^(nt) = (1 + 1/x)^(xrt)

    = ((1 + 1/x)^(x))^(rt)

    lim ((1 + 1/x)^(x))^(rt) = e^(rt)

    x→∞

    Thus

    2P = Pe^(rt)

    t = ln(2)/r

    Because ln(2) is approximately 70% (and less-frequent compounding increases t),  this leads to the "Rule of 72": for a given rate of return r%, your investment will double in approximately 70/r or 72/r years.

    Could you please help me with this mathematical problem?

    Favourite answer:

    given

    t = 1 min x 1hour/60min = 0.0166 hours

    d = 50 m  x 31 = 1550 m x km/1000m = 1.55km

    solving the trains speed

    s = d/t

    s = 1.55 km/ 0.0166 hours

    s = 93.37 km/h or 93 km/h    Answer//

    Math questions ?

    Favourite answer:

    Are all the question weighted equally? Are all the questions equally difficult?

    75 minutes * 60 seconds = 4500 seconds

    If you divide that total time by 128 questions, you get the average per question.

    4500 / 128 ≈ 35 seconds / question

    Finding Derivative of a Point?

    Favourite answer:

    g(x) = 4x² - 2x + 15 ← this is a function

    g(5) = 100 - 10 + 15 = 105 → the representative curve of the function passes through (5 ; 105)

    g'(x) = 8x - 2 ← this is its derivative

    g'(5) = 40 - 2 = 38 ← this is in fact the slope of the tangent line to the curve at point (5 ; 105)

    g(x) = 4x² - 2x + 15 ← this is the function → to calculate the derivative:

    Lim [g(x₀ + h) - g(x₀)] / h

    h → 0

    Lim [ { 4.(x₀ + h)² - 2.(x₀ + h) + 15 } - { 4x₀² - 2x₀ + 15 } ] / h

    h → 0

    Lim [ { 4.(x₀² + 2x₀.h + h²) - 2x₀ - 2h + 15 } - 4x₀² + 2x₀ - 15 ] / h

    h → 0

    Lim [4x₀² + 8x₀.h + 4h² - 2x₀ - 2h + 15 - 4x₀² + 2x₀ - 15] / h

    h → 0

    Lim [8x₀.h + 4h² - 2h] / h

    h → 0

    Lim h.[8x₀ + 4h - 2] / h

    h → 0

    Lim (8x₀ + 4h - 2) = 8x₀ - 2

    h → 0

    g'(x₀) = 8x - 2

    g'(5) = 40 - 2 = 38 ← this is the same result (above)

    find the sum of (7t + 6 ) + (-4t -2)?

    Favourite answer:

    Remove the brackets 

    Hence 

    7t + 6 +-4t +-2 

    Remember +/- becomes minus (-) 

    7t + 6 - 4t - 2 

    3t + 4 

    Done!!!! 

    Remember for +/-  double signs . 

    + + = + 

    + - = - 

    - + = - 

    - - = +

    If no sign is given read it as plus(+).
