7- Solve the equation 8x³ + 4x² - 18x – 9 = 0 algebraically for all values of x.
8- What is one solution for the accompanying system of equations? y= x²-9 & y=x+3
9- Solve the equation x³ - 5x² -4x + 20 = 0 algebraically for all values of x.
10- Solve: x² - x – 12 > 0. State the answer in interval notation.
11- A car’s stopping distance varies directly with the speed it travels, and inversely with the friction value of the road service. If a car takes 60 feet to stop at 32 mph, on a road whose friction value is 4, what would be the stopping distance of a car travelling of a car travelling at 60 mph on a road with friction value of 2?
12- Find the zeros of the polynomial function: P(x) = (x² + 9) (x + 3).
13- The sum of twice a positive integer and four times the reciprocal of the integer is 9. Find the integer.
14- The sum of three times a positive integer and four times the integer is 10. Find the integer.
