Answer to Problem 56E
Factor
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Function:
Factor:
Calculation:
Verifying whether
Step 1: Writing coefficients of polynomial function on the right side and value of constant of factor with opposite sign on the left side.
Step 2: Now, adding terms in columns and multiplying the results by -2.
Here, the remainder is zero, it means that
Verifying whether
Step 1: Writing coefficients of polynomial function on the right side and value of constant of factor with opposite sign on the left side.
Step 2: Now, adding terms in columns and multiplying the results by 4.

To find the zeros, put
Calculation for graph:
Consider
Values of x | Values of f (x) |
0 | -40 |
1 | -63 |
-1 | -15 |
2 | -264 |
-2 | 0 |
By taking different values of x, the graph can be plotted.
Graph:
Interpretation:
By observing graph, it is clear that the curve of the function meets x-axis at
Hence, the zeros of the function are
Conclusion:
Therefore, the zeros of given polynomial function are

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
