Question

Find the factors of function f, and use them to complete this statement. f(x)=2x^(4)-x^(3)-18x^(2)+9x
From left to right, function f has zeros at

Answer 1

Hello,

$f(x)=2x^4-x^3-18x+9x\\\\=x(2x^3-x^2-18x+9)\\\\=x(x^2(2x-1)-9(2x-1))\\\\=x(2x-1)(x^2-9)\\=x(2x-1)(x-3)(x+3)$

Zeros are : 0;  1/2; -3; 3.

Answer 2

The zeros of the function are -3, 0, 1/2 and 3.

The given function is $f(x)=2x^{4} -x^{3} -18x^{2} +9x$.

What are the zeros of a function?

Zeros of a function are the points where the graph of the function meets the X-axis i.e., at the solutions of f(x) = 0.

Now, factorise the given function, that is f(x)=x(2x³-x²-18x+9).

=x[x²(2x-1)-9x(2x-1)]

=x(2x-1)(x²-9)

=x(2x-1)(x+3)(x-3)

= -3, 0, 1/2, 3

Therefore, the zeros of the function are -3, 0, 1/2 and 3.
