Answer:

How does knowing one linear factor of a polynomial help find the other factors?

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x−3)(x−1)(x+2)(x+6)

f(x)=(x−2)(x−2)(x+3)(x+5)

f(x)=(x−5)(x−3)(x+2)(x+2)

f(x)=(x−8)(x−1)(x+3)(x+5)

f(x)=(x−2)(x−1)(x+4)(x+4)

Correct answer:

f(x)=(x−2)(x−2)(x+3)(x+5)

Explanation:

We begin by attempting to find any rational roots using the Rational Root Theorem, which states that the possible rational roots are the positive or negative versions of the possible fractional combinations formed by placing a factor of the constant term in the numerator and a factor of the leading coefficient in the denominator.

That was a lot of wordage in one sentence, so let's break that down.  We begin with our polynomial.

f(x)=x4+4x3−13x2−28x+60

The constant term is the term without a variable (just a plain number).  In our case the constant is 60.  What are the possible factors of 60?

1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60

The leading coefficient is the number in front of the largest power of the variable.  When the terms are listed in descending order (highest to lowest power), the leading coefficient is always the first number.  In our case the leading coefficient is hard to spot.  Since there is no number in front of x4, the coefficient is 1 by default.

This is nice because the only factor of 1 is well ... 1.

We then create all the possible fractions with a factor of the constant in the numerator and a factor of the leading coefficient in the denominator.  This actually isn't as bad as it could be since our only possible denominator is 1.  Any fraction with a denominator of 1 is just the numerator.  Therfore, our possible "fractions" are simply

1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60

However, we must consider the positive or negative versions of these, so our final list of possible rational roots is

±1,±2,±3,±4,±5,±6,±10±,1±2,±15,±20,±30,±60

Unfortunately, this is where the process (at least without the assitance of a graphing calculator) becomes less fun.  Using synthetic division, we must simply try each possible root until we have success. There's really no consistent rule to tell us where to start. Generally starting with the smaller whole numbers is best because the synthetic division is easier.  Therefore, we could begin with 1 then proceed to −1,2,−2, etc.  

For the sake of keeping this explanation as short as possible, I am going to skip straight to 2, where we will first find success.

Therefore, 2 is a root.  However, it is always important to check to see if a root is in fact a double root (it works twice).  Therefore, let's try it one more time.

2 does in fact work twice and is thus a double root.  Since we only have three terms remainng, we can convert from synthetic back to an algebraic expression.

f(x)=x2+8x+15

We can then factor.

f(x)=(x+3)(x+5)

Writing our root of 2 as an algebraic expression gives (x−2).  Since we have double root, we need two of these.  Therfore, our final factored expression is.

f(x)=(x−2)(x−2)(x+3)(x+5)

Form A polynomial whose real zeros and degree are given.
What polynomial has zeros of -5,-1.2,5 and degree of 4?

Answers

The polynomial function has zeroes as given by x=0

In general, given zeroes of a polynomial function, a, b, c, and d, we can write the function as the multiplication of the factors

(x-a), (x-b), (x- c), and (x-d) then the degrees are 4

simply:

f(x)=(x-a) (x-b) (x- c) (x-d)

In this case, we can show that each of a, b, c, and d are zeroes of the function:

f(a)=(a-a) (a-b) (a-c) (a-d)

     = (0) (a-b) (a-c) (a-d)

     =0

f(b)=(b-a) (b-b) (b-c) (b-d)

      =(b-a) (0) (b-c) (b-d)  

      =0

f(c)=(c-a) (c-b) (c-c) (c-d)

     =(c-a) (c-b) (0) (c-d)

     =0

f(d)=(d-a) (d-b) (d-c) (d-d)

     =(d-a) (d-b) (d-c) (0)

     =0

since the value of the function at x=a, x=b, c, and d are equal to 0, then the function

f(x)=(x-a) (x-b) (x- c) (x-d) has zeroes at a, b, c and d

with the generalized form, we can substitute for the given zeroes,

x=-5, x=-2,0and 5 where a=-5, b=-2, c=0 and x=5

f(x)=(x-(-5)) (x-(-2)) (x-0) (x-5)

simplifying gives:

f(x)=(x+5) (x+2) x(x-5)

from here, we can put it in standard polynomial form by foiling the right side:

f(x)=x^3+2x^2-25x-50

To double-check the answer, just plug in the given zeroes, and ensure the value of the function at those points is equal to 0.

f (-5) =x^3+2x^2-25x-50

       =(-5)^3+2(-5)^2-2(-5)-50

f (-5) =0

f (-2) =(-2)^3+2(-2)^2-2(-2)-50

f (-2) =0

f (0) =0

f (5) =(5)^3+2(5)^2-2(5)-50

    =0

Hence, the function has zeroes as given by x=0.

Solve the System of Equations using Substitution or Elimination. State your final
answer as an ordered pair (x,y) *
-3x + 10y = -15
5x - 7y = -4

Answers

Answer:

(- 5, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 3x + 10y = - 15 → (1)

5x - 7y = - 4 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 5 and (2) by 3 and adding the result, eliminates the x- term.

- 15x + 50y = - 75 → (3)

15x - 21y = - 12 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x, that is

29y = - 87 ( divide both sides by 29 )

y = - 3

Substitute y = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

- 3x + 10(- 3) = - 15

- 3x - 30 = - 15 ( add 30 to both sides )

- 3x = 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 5

solution is (- 5, - 3 )

5y + 6+ 7y = (blank) (6y + (blank))

solution

5y+7y+6= 12y+6

= 2(6y+3)

Answer:

2(6y + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

for the equation to have infinitely many solutions, then both sides must be equal.

consider left side

5y + 6 + 7y ← collect like terms

= 12y + 6 ← factor out 2 from each term )

= 2(6y + 3)

then

5y + 6 + 7y = 2(6y + 3) ← has infinitely many solutions

from Japan?​

Answers

1. Calculate total tourists
34 (USA) + 44 (Japan) + 64 (Germany) + 18(S. Africa) = 160 Tourists.

To work out percentage, put the amount your trying to work out over the total amount. Then multiply by 100.

44/160 = 0.275 x 100 = 27.5%

The answer is 27.5%

suppose that verania and josimar are roommates that need to complete some household chores. vacuuming and washing dishes need to be done. they know from the last time they did these chores that it takes verania 2 hours to vacuum and 1 hour to wash dishes. it takes josimar 3 hours to vacuum and 2 hours to wash dishes. josimar says it does not matter which task each of them performs because verania is faster at both tasks.

Answers

It is wrong. Because Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes, she should wash dishes, and Josimar should vacuum.

Having an absolute advantage in both things does not mean that Verania has a Comparative advantage in both as well.

They should find out which activity they both have a comparative advantage in and focus on that. The activity that costs the least opportunity cost is the one they have a comparative advantage.

Verania

Opportunity cost of vacuuming = 2 / 1 = 2 hours of washing dishes

Opportunity cost of washing = 1/2 = 0.5 hours of vacuuming

Josimar

The opportunity cost of vacuuming = 3/2 = 1.5 hours of washing dishes

Opportunity cost of washing = 2/3 = 0.66 hours of vacuuming

Verania has a comparative advantage in washing dishes while Josimar has a comparative advantage in vacuuming.
