Length= y in.
Width= (y-6) in.
Perimeter = 2(L*W)
Perimeter=2L+2W
68in.=2(y)+2(y-6)
68=2y+2y-12
68=4y-12
68+12=4y
4y=80
y=20
Length= 20 inches, width =14 inches

Find a degree 3 polynomial having zeros -5, 1 and 5 and the coefficient of x^3 equal 1

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$x^3 -x^2 -25x +25$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The roots are,}~ \alpha = -5,~ \beta = 1 ~ \text{and}~ \gamma = 5\\\\\text{The polynomial is,}\\\\~~~x^3 - (\alpha + \beta + \gamma)x^2+(\alpha \beta + \beta \gamma+ \gamma \alpha)x - \alpha\beta \gamma\\\\=x^3 - (-5+1+5)x^2 +(-5 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 5 + 5 \cdot -5)x - (-5)(1)(5)\\\\=x^3 -(0+1)x^2 + (-5+5-25)x +25\\\\=x^3 -x^2 -25x +25$
