What is the solution to the equation:


5x(x - 7)^2 (3x + 2) = 0

{ -2/3, 0, -7, 7)

400

What is the solution to square root(2x - 7) + x = 5?

2x - 7 = x^2 - 10x + 25

x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0

(x - 8)(x-4) = 0

x = {8, 4}

Only 4 works. 8 is extraneous.

400

What is the quotient and remainder when the rational equation f(x) = 4x^3 - 2x^2 + 8x + 10 is divided by x-5?


Is x - 5 a factor of f(x)?

Quotient w/ remainder: f(x) = 4x^2 + 18x + 98 + 500 / (x - 5)

Factor: No, The remainder is 500 and thus x - 5 is not a factor.

Which has the greater average rate of change over the interval -12 </= x </=8?

 f(x) = 2x+ 7

g(x) = x/3 + 2      x < 1 

          4x - 2        x >/=1

The function f(x) has a greater rate of change.

f(x) = 2 > g(x) = 1.6
