(a) verify the given factors of $f(x)$
(b) find the remaining factor(s) of $f(x)$
(c) use your results to write the complete factorization of $f(x),$
(d) list all real zeros of $f,$ and
(e) confirm your results by using a graphing utility to graph the function.
$$\begin{array}{ll}\text { Function } & \text { Factors } \\f(x)=2 x^{3}-x^{2}-10 x+5 & (2 x-1),(x+\sqrt{5})\end{array}$$

A company that produces calculators estimates that the profit $P$ (in dollars) from selling a specific model of calculator is given by
$$P=-152 x^{3}+7545 x^{2}-169,625, \quad 0 \leq x \leq 45$$
where $x$ is the advertising expense (in tens of thousands of dollars). For this model of calculator, an advertising expense of $\$ 400,000(x=40)$ results in a profit of $\$ 2,174,375$.
(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the profit function.
(b) Use the graph from part (a) to estimate another amount the company can spend on advertising that results in the same profit.
(c) Use synthetic division to confirm the result of part (b) algebraically.

Precalculus

A Ferris wheel is built such that the height $ h $ (in feet) above ground of a seat on the wheel at time $ t $ (in minutes) can be modeled by

$ h(t) = 53 + 50 \sin \left(\dfrac{\pi}{16} t - \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) $.

The wheel makes one revolution every $ 32 $ seconds. The ride begins when $ t = 0 $.

(a) During the first $ 32 $ seconds of the ride, when will a person on the Ferris wheel be $ 53 $ feet above ground?

(b) When will a person be at the top of the Ferris wheel for the first time during the ride? If the ride lasts $ 160 $ seconds, how many times will a person be at the top of the ride, and at what times?
