h(x)=x^4 - 9x^3 + 18x^2WHAT ARE THE ZEROS OF THE FUNCTION

h(x) =x^4-9x^3+18x^2


To find
the zeros of f(x) we first factorise the expression on the left of the equation and then
equate each factor to zero and solve for x.


x^4-9x^3 +18
x^2 = 0


Here x^2 is a factor of each term . So we factor
out x^2.


x^2(x^2-9x+18) = 0
......(1).


Now we consider x^2-9x+18 for
factorisation.


x^2 -9x +18 = x^2-6x-3x +18 =
0


x(x-6) -3(x-6) =
0


(x-6)(x-3) = 0.


Therefore
x^4-9x^3+18x^2 = x^2(x-6)(x-3) = 0


Equate each factor to
zer and solve for x.


x^2 = 0 gives x =
0


x-6 = 0 gives x = 6


x-3 = 0
gives x = 3.


So x= 0, x = 6 x = 3 are the solutions for
x.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
