answer:To solve the given problem, we need to tackle it in two parts: finding the roots of the polynomial and determining the symmetry of the function. Part 1: Solving the Polynomial EquationThe given polynomial function is:[ f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6. ]We need to solve for ( x ) when ( f(x) = 0 ). This requires finding the roots of the polynomial:[ x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 = 0. ]One common method to find the roots of a cubic polynomial is to attempt factoring by trial and error, often starting by using the Rational Root Theorem. The possible rational roots are factors of the constant term, (-6), which are (pm 1, pm 2, pm 3, pm 6).Let's test these values in the polynomial to find a root. Starting with ( x = 1 ):[ f(1) = 1^3 - 6 cdot 1^2 + 11 cdot 1 - 6 = 1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0. ]Thus, ( x = 1 ) is a root.Next, we use synthetic division to divide the polynomial by ( x - 1 ):```1 | 1 -6 11 -6 | 1 -5 6 ----------------- 1 -5 6 0```The quotient is ( x^2 - 5x + 6 ).Now, solve ( x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 ) by factoring:[ x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0. ]Thus, the remaining roots are ( x = 2 ) and ( x = 3 ).So, the roots of the polynomial ( f(x) = 0 ) are ( x = 1, 2, 3 ). Part 2: Determining SymmetryA polynomial ( f(x) ) is symmetric about the y-axis if ( f(x) = f(-x) ) for all ( x ), which implies it is an even function. It is symmetric about the origin if ( f(-x) = -f(x) ) for all ( x ), which implies it is an odd function.Let's check the symmetry for ( f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 ):1. Check for y-axis symmetry (even function): Compute ( f(-x) ): [ f(-x) = (-x)^3 - 6(-x)^2 + 11(-x) - 6 = -x^3 - 6x^2 - 11x - 6. ] Compare ( f(-x) ) with ( f(x) ): [ f(-x) = -x^3 - 6x^2 - 11x - 6 neq f(x). ] Therefore, ( f(x) ) is not symmetric about the y-axis.2. Check for origin symmetry (odd function): Compare ( f(-x) ) with (-f(x)): [ -f(x) = -(x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6) = -x^3 + 6x^2 - 11x + 6. ] [ f(-x) = -x^3 - 6x^2 - 11x - 6 neq -f(x). ] Therefore, ( f(x) ) is not symmetric about the origin.Since ( f(x) ) is neither even nor odd, it is symmetric about neither the y-axis nor the origin.Final Answer: The roots are ( x = 1, 2, 3 ). The function is symmetric about neither the y-axis nor the origin. I hope it is correct.

answer:To solve the polynomial equation ( f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 = 0 ), we will find its roots using the factorization method. Given that it's a cubic polynomial, we suspect it might be factorable into linear factors. Step 1: Attempt to Factor the PolynomialLet's start by testing possible rational roots using the Rational Root Theorem. According to this theorem, the possible rational roots are the factors of the constant term divided by the factors of the leading coefficient. Here, the constant term is (-6) and the leading coefficient is (1). Thus, the possible rational roots are (pm 1, pm 2, pm 3, pm 6).# Test (x = 1):[ f(1) = 1^3 - 6 times 1^2 + 11 times 1 - 6 = 1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0 ]So, (x = 1) is indeed a root. Step 2: Perform Synthetic DivisionSince (x = 1) is a root, we can perform synthetic division to factor (x - 1) out of ( f(x) ).[begin{array}{r|rrrr} 1 & 1 & -6 & 11 & -6 & & 1 & -5 & 6 hline & 1 & -5 & 6 & 0 end{array}]The quotient is (x^2 - 5x + 6). Step 3: Factor the QuadraticNow, factor the quadratic (x^2 - 5x + 6). We look for two numbers whose product is (6) and sum is (-5).These numbers are (-2) and (-3).Thus, (x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3)). Step 4: Write the Full FactorizationTherefore, the full factorization of the polynomial is:[ f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) ] Step 5: Find All the RootsFrom the factorization, we can see that the roots of the polynomial are:[ x = 1, quad x = 2, quad x = 3 ] Step 6: Evaluate the Sum of the RootsAccording to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots of a polynomial (ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0) is (-b/a). For (f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6), the sum of the roots is:[ -(-6)/1 = 6 ] ConclusionThe roots of the polynomial equation are (x = 1), (x = 2), and (x = 3). The sum of the roots is (6), which reflects the principle of 'oneness' as it is the total contribution of each individual root coming together to form the whole.Final Answer: The final answer is ( x = 1, 2, 3 ) and the sum of the roots is 6. I hope it is correct.

answer:To solve the given problem, we will address each part separately. Part 1: Maximizing the Probability of WinningThe probability function given is a quadratic function:[ P(x) = -0.04x^2 + 0.3x + 0.5 ]To find the number of runs ( x ) that maximizes this probability, we need to find the vertex of the quadratic function, since the parabola opens downwards (coefficient of ( x^2 ) is negative).The vertex ( x ) of a quadratic function ( ax^2 + bx + c ) is given by:[ x = -frac{b}{2a} ]Here, ( a = -0.04 ) and ( b = 0.3 ). Plug these values into the formula:[ x = -frac{0.3}{2(-0.04)} = -frac{0.3}{-0.08} = frac{0.3}{0.08} = 3.75 ]So, the Rockies need to score 3.75 runs to maximize their probability of winning. Since the number of runs must be a whole number, they would likely consider scoring either 3 or 4 runs in practical terms.Now, let's calculate the maximum probability by plugging ( x = 3.75 ) back into the probability function:[ P(3.75) = -0.04(3.75)^2 + 0.3(3.75) + 0.5 ]Calculate ( (3.75)^2 ):[ (3.75)^2 = 14.0625 ]Now substitute:[ P(3.75) = -0.04(14.0625) + 0.3(3.75) + 0.5 ][ = -0.5625 + 1.125 + 0.5 ][ = 1.0625 ]Thus, the maximum probability of winning is 1.0625. However, probability values range from 0 to 1, so a probability of 1.0625 indicates that this model reaches its peak at a theoretical maximum probability of 1 (100% chance of winning). Part 2: Attendance RangeThe attendance function is given by:[ A(x) = 2x + 15 ]We need to find the range of runs ( x ) for which attendance is between 25,000 and 35,000. Convert these to thousands:1. ( 25,000 ) people is ( 25 ) in thousands.2. ( 35,000 ) people is ( 35 ) in thousands.Set up the inequalities:1. ( 25 leq 2x + 15 leq 35 )Solve the first inequality:[ 25 leq 2x + 15 ]Subtract 15 from both sides:[ 10 leq 2x ]Divide by 2:[ 5 leq x ]Solve the second inequality:[ 2x + 15 leq 35 ]Subtract 15 from both sides:[ 2x leq 20 ]Divide by 2:[ x leq 10 ]Combining both inequalities, we get:[ 5 leq x leq 10 ] Final Answer1. The Rockies need to score approximately 3.75 runs to maximize their probability of winning, with a maximum probability of 1.2. The range of runs ( x ) for which attendance is between 25,000 and 35,000 people is ( 5 leq x leq 10 ).The final answer is ( x = 3.75 ) for maximum probability and the attendance range is ( 5 leq x leq 10 ). I hope it is correct.

answer:To solve this problem, we need to analyze the two quadratic functions given by the performance scores of Group A and Group B. Step 1: Find the maximum performance score for each group and the time at which it occurs.Group A:The performance scores for Group A are given by the quadratic equation ( f(x) = -2x^2 + 8x + 10 ). This is a downward-opening parabola since the coefficient of ( x^2 ) is negative.The vertex of a parabola ( ax^2 + bx + c ) is given by the formula:[x = -frac{b}{2a}]For ( f(x) = -2x^2 + 8x + 10 ):- ( a = -2 )- ( b = 8 )The time at which the maximum score occurs is:[x = -frac{8}{2 times -2} = frac{8}{4} = 2]Substituting ( x = 2 ) back into the equation to find the maximum score:[f(2) = -2(2)^2 + 8(2) + 10 = -8 + 16 + 10 = 18]Group B:The performance scores for Group B are given by ( g(x) = -x^2 + 6x + 12 ). This is also a downward-opening parabola.For ( g(x) = -x^2 + 6x + 12 ):- ( a = -1 )- ( b = 6 )The time at which the maximum score occurs is:[x = -frac{6}{2 times -1} = frac{6}{2} = 3]Substituting ( x = 3 ) back into the equation to find the maximum score:[g(3) = -(3)^2 + 6(3) + 12 = -9 + 18 + 12 = 21] Step 2: Determine the range of time ( x ) for which the performance scores of Group A are greater than or equal to those of Group B.Set up the inequality ( f(x) geq g(x) ):[-2x^2 + 8x + 10 geq -x^2 + 6x + 12]Rearrange terms to form a new inequality:[-2x^2 + 8x + 10 + x^2 - 6x - 12 geq 0][-x^2 + 2x - 2 geq 0]Multiply the entire inequality by (-1) to make the quadratic term positive (this reverses the inequality sign):[x^2 - 2x + 2 leq 0]This quadratic ( x^2 - 2x + 2 ) has a discriminant ( Delta = b^2 - 4ac ):[Delta = (-2)^2 - 4 cdot 1 cdot 2 = 4 - 8 = -4]Since the discriminant is negative, the quadratic equation has no real roots and the parabola does not intersect the x-axis. Therefore, ( x^2 - 2x + 2 ) is always positive, and there are no real ( x ) values for which ( f(x) geq g(x) ).Final Answer: The maximum performance score for Group A is 18 at ( x = 2 ) minutes, and for Group B is 21 at ( x = 3 ) minutes. There is no range of time ( x ) for which Group A's scores are greater than or equal to those of Group B. I hope it is correct.

answer:To solve the problem, we need to determine the quadratic equation for the number of startups admitted each year and find the number of startups in the fifth year. Step 1: Set up the quadratic equationThe problem states that the number of startups admitted each year follows a quadratic pattern given by ( n = ax^2 + bx + c ).# Information given:- In the first year (( x = 1 )), the number of startups is 5: [ a(1)^2 + b(1) + c = 5 ] [ a + b + c = 5 ] quad ((1)) - In the third year (( x = 3 )), the number of startups is 17: [ a(3)^2 + b(3) + c = 17 ] [ 9a + 3b + c = 17 ] quad ((2))- The numbers of startups admitted form an arithmetic sequence. This implies a constant difference between successive terms. Step 2: Use the property of arithmetic sequenceFor an arithmetic sequence, the difference between the numbers admitted each year is constant. Let ( d ) be the common difference.- The number of startups in the second year (( x = 2 )) can be expressed as: [ a(2)^2 + b(2) + c = a(4) + 2b + c ]The difference between the first and second year should be the same as the difference between the second and third year:- Difference between the first and second year: [ (a(4) + 2b + c) - (a + b + c) = d ] [ 3a + b = d ] quad ((3))- Difference between the second and third year: [ (9a + 3b + c) - (a(4) + 2b + c) = d ] [ 5a + b = d ] quad ((4)) Step 3: Solve the equationsSubtract equation ((3)) from equation ((4)):[ (5a + b) - (3a + b) = d - d ][ 2a = 0 ][ a = 0 ]Substitute ( a = 0 ) into equations ((1)) and ((2)):- From equation ((1)): [ b + c = 5 ]- From equation ((2)): [ 3b + c = 17 ]Subtract the first result from the second:[ (3b + c) - (b + c) = 17 - 5 ][ 2b = 12 ][ b = 6 ]Substitute ( b = 6 ) into ( b + c = 5 ):[ 6 + c = 5 ][ c = -1 ]Thus, the quadratic equation is:[ n = 0x^2 + 6x - 1 ][ n = 6x - 1 ] Step 4: Calculate the number of startups in the fifth yearSubstitute ( x = 5 ) into the equation:[ n = 6(5) - 1 ][ n = 30 - 1 ][ n = 29 ]Final Answer: The final answer is 29. I hope it is correct.
