For the equation x^4+x^3-6x^2-14x-12=0
make a list of possible rational roots
test the possible roots until you find one that produces a remainder of 0
Write the resulting cubic function
use synthetic division to make the cubic root a quadratic

Write the contrapositive of the conditional statement. determine whether the contrapositive is true or false. if it is false, find a counterexample. a converse statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. a) a non-converse statement is not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. true b) a statement not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional is a converse statement. false; an inverse statement is not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. c) a non-converse statement is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. false; an inverse statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional. d) a statement not formed by exchanging the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional is not a converse statement. true
