What second degree polynomial function has a leading coefficient of -2 and root 4 with a multiplicity of 2

The second degree polynomial with leading coefficient of -2 and root 4 with multiplicity of 2 is:

p(x) = -2*(x - 4)*(x - 4) = -2*(x - 4)^2

<h3>How to write the polynomial?</h3>

A polynomial of degree N, with the N roots {x₁, ..., xₙ} and a leading coefficient a is written as:

p(x) = a*(x - x_1)*(x - x_2)*...*(x - x_n)

Here we know that the degree is 2, the only root is 4 (with a multiplicity of 2, this is equivalent to say that we have two roots at x = 4) and a leading coefficient equal to -2.

Then this polynomial is equal to:

p(x) = -2*(x - 4)*(x - 4) = -2*(x - 4)^2

Write the inequality shown by the graph with the boundary line
Bingel [31]

Answer:

>=

Step-by-step explanation:

since the shaded area is above the line y must be > or >= 1/4x-4, so the symbol must be > or >=. since the line isn't dashed, points on the line also fit the inequality meaning that the answer is >=

In triangle ABC, a = 4, b = 6, and cos C = − 1/4. What is the length of side c?
shusha [124]

The length of side c would be 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a = 4

b = 6

cosC = -1/4

If we are given two sides and angle, the law of Cosines can be used to find the third side:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2ab (cos(c))

By inserting the values in the formula, we get

c^{2} = 4^{2} + 6^{2} - 2.4.6 (-\frac{1}{4} )

c^{2} = 16 + 36 + 12

c^{2} = 64

\sqrt{c^{2} } = \sqrt{64}

c = 8.

Therefore, the length of side c would be 8.
