Problems 35, 36, 47, and 48 I have been having some trouble with....

35 and 36
For B...i had to find the zeros with a calculator
for part c, I had to find the zeros algebraically

47 and 48
i had to find the zeros and max and min with a calculator
for 47, i am a little confused about the +- part....

I do not know is I am doing these correctly...if someone could take a look at my work, it would be greatly appreciated

2. on 35 and 36 the c's look good. that's all i have time to check.

3. 47 looks good.

Where's the second zero on 48? (Look on the +x side.) And don't understand why you can't find max's and min's on this one? (See below.)

4. How do I simplify part C on 36? would it be Sqrt(2)?

5. I get 2 for the second zero on 48...max: (-2.1915, 19.688)...min: (-1.938E-6, 5)

6. How do you know to use +-
or just + or just minus for the zeros and extrema

7. I have another question, if maybe someone can help me

$\frac{10 \pm \sqrt{200}}{10}$

$= \frac{10 \pm \sqrt{2 \cdot 10^2}}{10}$

$= \frac{10 \pm 10 \sqrt{2}}{10}$

$= \frac{10(1 \pm \sqrt{2})}{10}$

$1 \pm \sqrt{2}$

Check that zero. I'm getting it to be less than 2. (Or you might be rounding it off too severely.)

And take a look at that graph again: I'm getting two relative maxima, not one. However, what you have listed is good. (Though you could probably round that -1.938 x 10^(-6) to 0 if you wanted.)

I'm not sure what the question is? Do you have a specific example of a problem where you are confused?

It would be best to start a new question in a new thread at this point, but go ahead! We're here to help.

12. i get 1.93 now, for that second zero on 48, i see what i did wrong

13. on 48, for the other maxima, i get: (.915, 5.646)

14. I also forgot to simplify part c on 35.....i got 2 + or - sqrt(3)

These all look good to me!
