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

<h3>Answer: Commutative Property (choice C)</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

Here are all of the justifications for each step

  • Step 1. None needed. This is the original expression
  • Step 2. Distributive property
  • Step 3. Multiply  (the 3 and 5 multiply to 15)
  • Step 4. Commutative property. Specifically, this is the commutative property of addition which allows us to add any two numbers in any order we want. In this case, the  -15 and 4x terms swap places.
  • Step 5. Associative property. The parenthesis group the first two terms away from the third term.
  • Step 6. Combine like terms. Both 3x and 4x have an x only so they are like terms that combine to 7x. You can think of it as 3+4 = 7, then you just tack an x onto everything to get 3x+4x = 7x.
