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

Galina-37 [17]

We solve the equation (1/6)x + 14 = (3/4)x, where x is the number of gallons;

We have 2x/12 + 168/12 = 9x/12;

2x + 168 = 9x;

168 = 7x;

x = 168 ÷ 7;

x = 24 gallons;
