The correct choice of this question with the given polynomial is "The zeros are -2 and 8, because the factors of g are (x + 2) and (x - 8)". (Correct choice: H)

<h3>How to analyze a second orden polynomial with constant coefficients</h3>

In this case we have a second order polynomial of the form x² - (r₁ + r₂) · x + r₁ · r₂, whose solution is (x - r₁) · (x - r₂) and where r₁ and r₂ are the roots of the polynomial, which can be real or complex numbers but never both according the fundamental theorem of algebra.

If we know that g(x) = x² - 6 · x - 16, then the factored form of the expression is g(x) = (x - 8) · (x + 2). Hence, the correct choice of this question with the given polynomial is "The zeros are -2 and 8, because the factors of g are (x + 2) and (x - 8)". $\blacksquare$

How to integrate cosec 2x

lorasvet [3.4K]

Remember that -csc^2(x) is a known derivative; it is the derivative of cot(x).

Keeping that in mind, let's put a negative there, and then offset it with another negative, which can conveniently be placed outside of the integral. 

(-1) Integral ( -csc^2(x) dx ) 

Which evaluates to 

(-1) cot(x) + C 
-cot(x) + C

All digits in a dropdown number are different, and one of its digits is the average of all its digits. It has at least two digit

Svetradugi [14.3K]

1. Start the search among 2-digit numbers. A dropdown number (DDN) with 2 digits is a number $ab$ such that

$\dfrac{a+b}2 = a \implies a + b = 2a \implies b = a$

$\dfrac{a+b}2 = b \implies a+b = 2b \implies a=b$

but both of these solutions violate the requirement that the digits are distinct, so there are no 2-digit DDNs.

A 3-digit DDN $abc$ is such that

$\dfrac{a+b+c}3 = a \implies a+b+c = 3a \implies b+c = 2a$

or $a+c=2b$ if the average is $b$ , or $a+b=2c$ if the average is $c$ . The smallest possible value for $a$ is 1 since we require 3 digits. Then $b+c=2$ , and we can pick $b=0$ and $c=2$ to get the smallest DDN, 102.

2. In a 4-digit DDN $abcd$ , we have

$\dfrac{a+b+c+d}4 = a \implies a + b + c + d = 4a \implies b+c+d=3a$

or $a+c+d=3b$ or $a+b+d=3c$ or $a+b+c=3d$ .

We're free to fix $a=1$ and $b=0$ to try to get the smallest DDN. This leaves us with $c+d=3$ or $c+d=-1$ or $1+d=3c$ or $c=3d$ .

The first two cases are impossible - the only choices for $c,d$ such that $c+d=3$ are 1 and 2, and the sum of two positive integers must be positive. The smallest possible value of $c$ is 2; this leaves us with $1+d=6$ or $2=3d$ , but the latter case is impossible because 3 does not divide 2. So $d=5$ , and the smallest 4-digit DDN is 1025.

To find the largest DDN, start with the largest possible values for $a$ and $b$ . Let $a=9$ and $b=8$ . Then $c+d=19$ or $c+d=15$ or $17+d=3c$ or $17+c=3d$ . At most, we can have $c+d=13$ with 7 and 6, so the first two cases are impossible. If we maximize $c=7$ , then either $17+d=21\implies d=4$ or $24=3d\implies d=8$ (which we don't want). So the largest 3-digit DDN is 9874.
