Identify the possible rational roots for the equation x^4-3x^2+6=0

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given the following equation, and the problem asks one to identify the rational roots of the equation:

The rational root theorem states that the list of positive and negative factors of the constant term over the factors of the coefficients of the term to the highest degree will yield a list of the rational roots of the equation. Use this theorem to generate a list of all possible ration roots of the equation.

Now rewrite this list in a numerical format:

This is the list of the possible rational roots. One has to synthetically divide each of these numbers by the given polynomial equation to find the actual rational roots. However, the problem only asks for the possible rational roots, not the actual rational roots, thus, this is not included.

answer:

payment just for service

in the opening of the question the word 'service' is associated only with the pretax value.

the closing part of the question asks: how much did she pay for the  

service

−−−−−−  

so technically the answer is

=

87.12

however, the intention of the question provider may have been that your answer is to be

(

)

=

94.09

to 2 decimal places.
