From Dakota: My problem has multiple steps and I have done everything but the last one. 8The original problem is f(x)=x^4-5x^3+7x^2+3x-10 and I have to find the zeros of the equation. I used synthetic substitution like my teacher taught us to get the equation of x^3-3x^2+x+5=0 but now I don't know how to get the zeros of that equation, or solve it. Answered by Penny Nom. |

From Victoria: The flight path of a bumblebee above the ground can be modelled by the function f(x)= 2x^3- 17x^2+ 11x + 130. Where x is the time in seconds and f(x) represents the height in inches above the ground. The entrance to the bee's hive is located 100 inches above the ground. Determine when the bumblebee's height is greater than 100 inches. The bee's height was monitored from 0 to 25 seconds inclusive. (over the domain 0 Answered by Penny Nom. |

The factor theorem |

From LisaMarie:
Hi, I have a career link question from gr.12 advanced functions
and intro. calculus. The equations is:
R(t) = 5(t4 - 4t3 +
19/4 t2 - 3/2 t)
The question is to apply the factor theorem
and quadratic formula to determine the times it crosses the t axis. The
only method i know of for using the factor theorem is when the last number
does not have a variable beside it so i'm not sure how you would even
use the factor theorem for this? We haven't dealt with any that have 0 as
the last number with no variable so i'm a little confused! please help!
Thank you

From Dhruv Bansal: Hi, I'm a ninth grade student doing a math project for school. I'm trying to learn about various ways of solving 3rd and 4th degree polynomial equations using the remainder theorem, the factor theorem, and synthetic division. The books I have all mention x - r, which I know nothing about, not even how to get it. I would really appreciate any information on this. Thanks. Dhruv Bansal Answered by Penny Nom. |
