Where does f(x)=3x2-11x-4 intersect the x axis?The negative x-intercept is at (___,0)
The positive x-intercept is at (___,0)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

we know that  

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero.

in this problem  we have

f(x)=3x^(2)-11x-4

To find the x-intercepts equate the function to zero

3x^(2)-11x-4=0

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

3x^(2)-11x=4

Factor the leading coefficient

3(x^(2)-(11x/3))=4

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

3(x^(2)-(11x/3)+(121/36))=4+(121/12)

3(x^(2)-(11x/3)+(121/36))=(169/12)

(x^(2)-(11x/3)+(121/36))=(169/36)

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x-(11/6))^(2)=(169/36)

square root both sides

(x-(11/6))=(+/-)(13/6)

x=(11/6)(+/-)(13/6)

x=(11/6)+(13/6)=24/6=4

x=(11/6)-(13/6)=-2/6=-1/3

therefore

the answer is

The negative x-intercept is at (-1/3,0)

The positive x-intercept is at (4,0)

Answer 2
Answer:

The negative x-intercept is (-1/3, 0) and the positive x-intercept is (4,0)

Intercepts

Given the expression 3x²-11x-4, the x intercept occur that the point where f(x) = 0.

The function will become 3x²-11x-4 = 0

factorising expressions

Factorize the result to have:

  • 3x² -12x + x - 4 = 0

Group the function to have;

  • (3x²-12x)+(x-4) = 0

Factor out the GCF

3x(x-4) + 1(x-4) = 0

(3x+1) (x-4) = 0

Get the x-intercepts

3x+1 = 0

x = -1/3

Hence the negative x-intercept is (-1/3, 0)

Also, x-4 = 0

x = 4

Hence the positive x-intercept is (4, 0)

What is the maximum number of turning points the function f(x)=7x^5+6x^3-4x^2+1 , can have

Answers

The maximum number of turning points of the polynomial is the degree of the polynomial minus 1. In this case the degree is 5, so the maximum number of turning points is 5-1=4.


During his tennis career in singles play, John won 3 fewer tournament A titles than tournament B titles, and 2 more tournament C titles than tournament B titles. If he won 17 of these titles total, how many times did he win each one? How many A titles
How many B titles
How many C titles

Answers

A = B - 3
C = B + 2
B = B

(B-3) + (B+ 2) + B = 17
3B - 1 = 17
B = (17+1)/3 =6
A = B-3 =6-3=3
C=B +2=6+2=8

Answer :
3 A titles
6 B titles
8 C titles

When using formulas, does it matter if capital or lower case letters are used? Explain why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

There are no standard rules. Writers of maths are allowed to use whatever letters they like for things, and different writers are allowed to use different letters. Most people follow some unwritten conventions, but different users of maths use different conventions. Users in the same discipline area who write to each other a lot tend to use the same conventions, but even then there are differences.
