Concept explainers
a.
To use the zero or root feature of a graphing utility to approximate (accurate to the nearest thousands) the zeros of the function.
a.
Answer to Problem 101E
Explanation of Solution
Given: Given function is
Concept Used:
Zeros are the values for x for which function gives zero value.
Calculation: To graph the function calculates the following points of the graph.
t | h(t) |
-2 | 0 |
-1 | 6 |
0.268 | 0 |
2 | -12 |
3.732 | 0 |
Graph the function on the above points
Where x- axis represents t and y -axis represents h(t).
b.
To find one of the exact zeros and use synthetic division to verify result.
b.
Answer to Problem 101E
t =-2 an exact zero of the given polynomial function.
Explanation of Solution
Given: Given function is
Concept Used:
Synthetic division is used here.
Calculation:
t =-2 looks like an exact zero. Confirm with synthetic division.
Using the bottom row as coefficient of the resulting polynomial from dividing h by (t +2).

Precalculus with Limits: A Graphing Approach
- need help on Barrow_forward4. Use the properties of limits to help decide whether each limit exists. If a limit exists, fi lim (2x²-4x+5) a) x-4 b) lim 2 x²-16 x-4x+2x-8arrow_forward7. The concentration of a drug in a patient's bloodstream h hours after it was injected is given by 0.17 h Ah= h²+2' Find and interpret lim A(h). Remember, the answers to word problems should always be given in a complete h→00 sentence, with proper units, in the context of the problem.arrow_forward
- #2arrow_forward2. We want to find the inverse of f(x) = (x+3)² a. On the graph at right, sketch f(x). (Hint: use what you know about transformations!) (2 points) b. What domain should we choose to get only the part of f (x) that is one- to-one and non-decreasing? Give your answer in inequality notation. (2 points) - c. Now use algebra to find f¯¹ (x).
