try them out ....

anonymous · Answer

i have no clue how to do that can u help me start off

amistre64 · Answer

you can possibly work a division to determine remainders

amistre64 · Answer

do you know what an independant and dependant variable are?

anonymous · Answer

one that comes first to lead to the other yes ???

amistre64 · Answer

ive never seen that description before so im gonna play it safe and say ...no.

notice that f(x) is completly dependant on the value of x for its own value.  f(x) is dependant on x

x is free to be whatever it wants to be ... its in control of the function,  its independant

anonymous · Answer

ok

amistre64 · Answer

so the question is asking;  what value of x makes f(x) = 0?

0 = 4x^5-5x^3+2x^2-9x+14

well, option C is obviously not it;  when x=0, f(0) = 14.  But other than trial and error, there is something called a remainder thrm.  which simply means the remainder left after a division process is equal to f(x)

anonymous · Answer

so A. 14 thats what i got

amistre64 · Answer

What is the value of the dependent variable: f(x)
if the value of the independent variable: x is 0?

lol, i was reading the question backwards .... 14 is correct

lol thnx
