Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 2
Solve for $x$ for the following expression.

$$
3x^3-3x^2-7x+5=x^3-2x^2-1
$$

Isolate the variables on the left side as follows:

$$
2x^3-x^2-7x+6=0
$$

Substitution $f(1)$ to know it factored or not as follows:

$$
f(1)=2-1-7+6=0 (x-1) text{is the factor for the expression}
$$

$$
1 | 2 -1 -7 6
$$

$$
0 2 1 -6
$$

$$
2 1 -6 0
$$

$$
2x^3-x^2-7x+6=(x-1)(2x^2+x-6)=0
$$

$$
2x^3-x^2-7x+6=(x-1)(2x-3)(x+2)=0
$$

Use zero property as follows:

$$
x-1=0 x=1
$$

$$
2x-3=0 x=dfrac{3}{2}

$$

$f(x)$ is positive in the interval of $x$ at $0le xle2$

$f(x)$ is negative in the interval of $x$ at $-2le xle0$

$f(x)$ is equal zero at $x=0$

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 4
Solve the following inequalities.

$$
color{#4257b2}text{(a)} 4x-5<-2(x+1)
$$

Use distributive property as follows:

$$
4x-5<-2x-2
$$

Isolate the variables on the left side as follows:

$$
4x+2x<-2+5 6x<3
$$

Divide both of sides by $(6)$ as follows:

$$
x<dfrac{1}{2}
$$

$therefore$ The solution set is $left(-infty, dfrac{1}{2} right)$

$$
color{#4257b2}text{(b)} -4le-(3x+1)le5
$$

Use distributive property as follows:

$$
-4le-3x-1le5
$$

Add both of sides by $(1)$ as follows:

$$
-3le-3xle6
$$

Divide both of sides by $(-3)$ as follows:

$$
1ge xge-2
$$

$therefore$ The solution set is $left[-2, 1 right]$

Step 2

$$
color{#4257b2}text{(c)} (x+1)(x-5)(x+2)>0
$$

$$
x=-2, x=-1, x=5
$$

Interval of $(x)$ are:

$$
x<-2, -2<x<-1, -1<x5
$$

Determine the value of polynomial according each interval as follows:

For $x<-2 f(-3)=-16$ For $-2<x<-1 f(-1.5)=4.875$

For $-1<x5 f(6)=63$

According the inequality $f(x)<0$, the true intervals which make the inequality true are:

$$
-2<x5
$$

$therefore$ The solution set is $left[-2, -1 right] cup left(5, infty right)$

$$

Determine the value of polynomial according each interval as follows:

For $xle-3 f(-4)=-144$

For $-3le xle2 f(0)=48$

For $xge2 f(3)=24$

According the inequality $f(x)<0$, the true intervals which make the inequality true are:

$$
-3le xle2 xge2
$$

$therefore$ The solution set is $left[-3, 2 right] cup left[2, infty right)$

The following expression represent the height in meter for projectile. answer for the following:

$$
h(t)=-5t^2+20t+15
$$

$$
text{color{#4257b2}(a) Find the height at the moment of launch.}
$$

At the moment of launch $t=0$ $h(t)=15$ meter

$$
text{color{#4257b2}(b) Find the time when the projectile in the ground.}
$$

At the moment of launch $h(t)=0$

$$
h(t)=-5t^2+20t+15=0
$$

Divide the function by $(-5)$ as follows:

$$
t^2-4t-3=0
$$

Use completing square property as follows:

$$
t^2-4t+4=3+4 (t-2)^2=7
$$

Use zero property as follows:

$$
t-2=7 t=9 text{second}
$$

The time when the projectile in the ground is $9$ seconds

Consider the following expression, then answer for the following terms.

$$
x^3+x^2+1
$$

$$
text{color{#4257b2}(a) Estimate the slope of the tangent line at $x=1$}
$$

From the graph, the tangent line cross with curve at point $(y=3)$

Slope $=dfrac{3-1}{1-0}$ Slope $=dfrac{2}{1}=2$

$$
text{color{#4257b2}(b) What are the coordinates of point of tangent?}
$$

$$
(1, 3)
$$

$$
text{color{#4257b2}(c) Determine the equation of tangent line}
$$

Note that, slope $=2$ and the point on the curve is $(1, 3)$, so:

$$
y=mx+b 3=2+b

$$
b=3-2 b=1
$$

The equation of tangent line is $y=2x+1$

Explain why polynomial function of $f(x)=4x^{2008}+2008x^4+4$ has no zeros.

Because when we solve this polynomial, we use the logarithmic and exponential laws and general rules in this partition, not quadratic formula equations rules, so we not need zeros to solve it.
