Answer: 0.5 and 0.25
Step-by-step explanation: You have to divide the number by 2 to get to the next term.
x = -1
y = 1
To find this, input the equation into a graphing calculator, whether online or an actual one, and you have two options:
1 - Search for the points in which the line crosses the x and or y axis.
2 - Hit 2nd Graph to access the table and find when x and y equal zero.

In the question, it is already given that the total number of runners in the race is 60 and out of them 1/3 dropped out in the first half. In the second half 1/4 of the remaining runners dropped out.
Now
Total number of runners in the race = 60
Number of runners that dropped out in the first half = 1/3 * 60
= 20
Number of runners remaining = 60 - 20
= 40
Number of runners dropping out in the second half = 40 * 1/4
= 10
Then the number of runners that finished the race = 40 - 10
= 30
Then 30 runners completed the race.
The correct answer is C.
You can tell this by factoring the equation to get the zeros. To start, pull out the greatest common factor.
f(x) = x^4 + x^3 - 2x^2
Since each term has at least x^2, we can factor it out.
f(x) = x^2(x^2 + x - 2)
Now we can factor the inside by looking for factors of the constant, which is 2, that add up to the coefficient of x. 2 and -1 both add up to 1 and multiply to -2. So, we place these two numbers in parenthesis with an x.
f(x) = x^2(x + 2)(x - 1)
Now we can also separate the x^2 into 2 x's.
f(x) = (x)(x)(x + 2)(x - 1)
To find the zeros, we need to set them all equal to 0
x = 0
x = 0
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
Since there are two 0's, we know the graph just touches there. Since there are 1 of the other two numbers, we know that it crosses there.
