Find the zeros of each polynomial function. If a zero is a multiple zero, state its multiplicity. $$P(x)=4 x^{4}-35 x^{3}+71 x^{2}-4 x-6$$
Find the zeros of each polynomial function. If a zero is a multiple zero, state its multiplicity. $$P(x)=x^{3}+3 x^{2}-6 x-8$$
PIECES AND CUTS One straight cut through a thick piece of cheese produces two pieces. Two straight cuts can produce a maximum of four pieces. Three straight cuts can produce a maximum of eight pieces. You might be inclined to think that every additional cut doubles the previous number of pieces. However, for four straight cuts, you get a maximum of 15 pieces. The maximum number of pieces \(P\) that can be produced by \(n\) straight cuts is given by $$P(n)=\frac{n^{3}+5 n+6}{6}$$ a. Use the above function to determine the maximum number of pieces that can be produced by five straight cuts. b. What is the fewest number of straight cuts that are needed to produce 64 pieces?
A PROPANE TANK DIMENSIONS A Propane tank has the shape of a circular cylinder with a hemisphere at each end. The cylinder is 6 feet long and the volume of the tank is \(9 \pi\) cubic feet. Find, to the nearest thousandth of a foot, the length of the radius \(x\).
FIND THE DIMENSIONS A cube measures \(n\) inches on each edge. If a slice 2 inches thick is cut from one face of the cube, the resulting solid has a volume of 567 cubic inches. Find \(n\).
