Part A. We are given the following polynomial:
[tex]\mleft(\mright)=-2\mleft(+19\mright)^3\mleft(-14\mright)\mleft(+3\mright)^2[/tex]This is a polynomial of the form:
[tex]p=k(x-a)^b(x-c)^d\ldots(x-e)^f[/tex]The x-intercepts are the numbers that make the polynomial zero, that is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} p=0 \\ (x-a)^b(x-c)^d\ldots(x-e)^f=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]The values of x are then found by setting each factor to zero:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-a)=0 \\ (x-c)=0 \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \\ (x-e)=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, this values are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=a \\ x=c \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \\ x=e \end{gathered}[/tex]In this case, the x-intercepts are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-19 \\ x=14 \\ x=-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]The multiplicity are the exponents of the factor where we got the x-intercept, therefore, the multiplicities are:
Part B. The degree of a polynomial is the sum of its multiplicities, therefore, the degree in this case is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} n=3+1+2 \\ n=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]To determine the end behavior of the polynomial we need to know the sign of the leading coefficient that is, the sign of the coefficient of the term with the highest power. In this case, the leading coefficient is -2, since the degree of the polynomial is an even number this means that both ends are down. If the leading coefficient were a positive number then both ends would go up. In the case that the leading coefficient was positive and the degree and odd number then the left end would be down and the right end would be up, and if the leading coefficient were a negative number and the degree an odd number then the left end would be up and the right end would be down.
Part C. A sketch of the graph is the following:
If the multiplicity is an odd number the graph will cross the x-axis at that x-intercept and if the multiplicity is an even number it will tangent to the x-axis at that x-intercept.
system of equationsb+c= -55b-c= 17
Let's solve the system of equations:
b + c = - 55
b - c = 17
Step 1: Let's isolate b on the first equation:
b + c = - 55
b = - 55 - c
Step 2: Let's solve for c on the second equation, substituting b:
b - c = 17
-55 - c - c = 17
-55 - 2c = 17
Adding 55 at both sides:
-2c - 55 + 55 = 17 + 55
-2c = 72
Dividing by - 2 at both sides:
-2c/-2 = 72/-2
c = -36
Step 3: Let's solve for b on the first equation, susbtituting c:
b + c = - 55
b + (-36) = - 55
b - 36 = - 55
Adding 36 at both sides:
b - 36 + 36 = - 55 + 36
I think you are ready to finish and calculate the value for b.

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
First let's find the slope of the line.

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ y=5x+c \\ \text{where c = y-intercept} \end{gathered}[/tex]The y-intercept is (0, b). The equation passes through the origin, so the y-intercept is 0.
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=5x+0 \\ y=5x \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the

1) In this question let's calculate the sin(θ) and cos(θ)
Given that
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{If }\sin (\theta)=\frac{5\pi}{4} \\ \sin (\theta)\text{ }\Rightarrow\sin (\frac{5\pi}{4})\text{ }=-\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2} \\ \cos (\frac{5\pi}{4})=-\frac{\sqrt[]{2}}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]2) In this question, we're calculating the value of the sine and the cosine in radians.
We must remember that 5π/4 ⇒ to 225º, and that it's in the Quadrant III
If we subtract
225 -180 =45 So the sine of 5π/4 is -√2/2 and the cosine (5π/4 ) = -√2/2
2.3) The sign of the Quadrant
Since 225º is in Quadrant III both results are negative ones.

Seventh grade > X.9 Reflections over the x- and y-axes: find the coordinates TF8 You have prizes to reveal The point D(-5, -3) is reflected over the y-axis. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, D'?
Answer
The coordinates of the resulting point, D' = (5, -3)
Explanation
When a given point with coordinates A (x, y) is reflected over the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same and the x-coordinate takes up a negative in front of it. That is, A (x, y) changes after being reflected across the y-axis in this way
A (x, y) = A' (-x, y)

We can calculate the percent of change by means of the following formula:
[tex]change=\frac{x2-x1}{x1}\times100[/tex]Where x2 is the new value and x1 is the original value.
In this case, we go from 60 to 24, then the original value (x1) was 60 and the new value (x2) is 24, by replacing these values into the above equation, we get:
[tex]change=\frac{24-60}{60}\times100=-60[/tex]Then, the percent of change equals -60%

If the machines operate for712712hours per day making215215pounds of chocolate frogs per hour, will the chocolate factory make it’s goal?The chocolate factory meet their goal with the total being10121012pounds of chocolate frogs produced.
First, rewrite all the mixed fractions as impropper fractions:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 10\frac{1}{2}=10\times\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{20}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{21}{2} \\ \\ 7\frac{1}{2}=7\times\frac{2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{14}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15}{2} \\ \\ 2\frac{1}{5}=2\times\frac{5}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{10}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Next, multiply the rate of chocolate production over time by the the operating time of the machines to find the total amount of pounds of chocolate frogs produced in one day:
[tex]7\frac{1}{2}\times2\frac{1}{5}=\frac{15}{2}\times\frac{11}{5}=\frac{15\times11}{2\times5}=\frac{3\times11}{2}=\frac{33}{2}=16\frac{1}{2}[/tex]Then, the chocolate factory can produce 16 1/2 pounds of chocolate frogs per day.
Since 16 1/2 is greater than 10 1/2, then the chocolate factory will meet their goal with the total being over 10 1/2 pounds of chocolate frogs produced.

=====================================================
Explanation:
Let's use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line through (-1,-17) and (3,11)
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-1,-17) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (3,11)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{11 - (-17)}{3 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{11 + 17}{3 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{28}{4}\\\\m = 7\\\\[/tex]
The slope of line A is 7
-------------
Now let's find the slope of line B.
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (7,-5)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 4}{7 - 0}\\\\m = -\frac{9}{7}\\\\[/tex]
-------------
Now onto line C.
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (7,1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (0,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 1}{0 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{1}{-7}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{7}\\\\[/tex]
-------------
Lastly we have line D.
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-1,-6) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (1,8)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{8 - (-6)}{1 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{8 + 6}{1 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{14}{2}\\\\m = 7\\\\[/tex]

Recall that parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. This fact makes Line A parallel to line D.
Lines A and C are perpendicular to one another, because the slopes 7 and -1/7 multiply to -1. In other words, -1/7 is the negative reciprocal of 7, and vice versa. These two lines form a 90 degree angle.
Lines C and D are perpendicular for the same reasoning as the previous paragraph.
Line B unfortunately is neither parallel nor perpendicular to any of the other lines mentioned.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1\times3}{3\times3} \\ \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8}{9}-\frac{3}{9} \\ \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{8-3}{9} \\ \frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is
[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex](c) Given that q= 8d^2, find the other two real roots.
Polynomials
Given the equation:
[tex]x^5-3x^4+mx^3+nx^2+px+q=0[/tex]Where all the coefficients are real numbers, and it has 3 real roots of the form:
[tex]x_1=\log _2a,x_2=\log _2b,x_3=\log _2c[/tex]It has two imaginary roots of the form: di and -di. Recall both roots must be conjugated.
a) Knowing the sum of the roots must be equal to the inverse negative of the coefficient of the fourth-degree term:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \log _2a+\log _2b+\log _2c+di-di=3 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ \log _2a+\log _2b+\log _2c=3 \\ \text{Apply log property:} \\ \log _2(abc)=3 \\ abc=2^3 \\ abc=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]b) It's additionally given the values of a, b, and c are consecutive terms of a geometric sequence. Assume that sequence has first term a1 and common ratio r, thus:
[tex]a=a_1,b=a_1\cdot r,c=a_1\cdot r^2[/tex]Using the relationship found in a):
[tex]\begin{gathered} a_1\cdot a_1\cdot r\cdot a_1\cdot r^2=8 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ (a_1\cdot r)^3=8 \\ a_1\cdot r=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]As said above, the real roots are:
[tex]x_1=\log _2a,x_2=\log _2b,x_3=\log _2c[/tex]Since b = a1*r, then b = 2, thus:
[tex]x_2=\log _22=1[/tex]One of the real roots has been found to be 1. We still don't know the others.
c) We know the product of the roots of a polynomial equals the inverse negative of the independent term, thus:
[tex]\log _2a_1\cdot2\cdot\log _2(a_1\cdot r^2)\cdot(di)\cdot(-di)=-q[/tex]Since q = 8 d^2:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \log _2a_1\cdot2\cdot\log _2(a_1\cdot r^2)\cdot(di)\cdot(-di)=-8d^2 \\ \text{Operate:} \\ 2\log _2a_1\cdot\log _2(a_1\cdot r^2)\cdot(-d^2i^2)=-8d^2 \\ \log _2a_1\cdot\log _2(a_1\cdot r^2)=-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]From the relationships obtained in a) and b):
[tex]a_1=\frac{2}{r}[/tex]Substituting:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \log _2(\frac{2}{r})\cdot\log _2(2r)=-8 \\ By\text{ property of logs:} \\ (\log _22-\log _2r)\cdot(\log _22+\log _2r)=-8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Simplifying:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (1-\log _2r)\cdot(1+\log _2r)=-8 \\ (1-\log ^2_2r)=-8 \\ \text{Solving:} \\ \log ^2_2r=9 \end{gathered}[/tex]We'll take the positive root only:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \log _2r=3 \\ r=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus:
[tex]a_1=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]The other roots are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=\log _2\frac{1}{4}=-2 \\ x_3=\log _216=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Real roots: -2, 1, 4
