Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomials are given as follows:

1. P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

2. P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

3. P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

<h3>What is the Factor Theorem?</h3>

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Item a:

The parameters are:

a = 1, x_1 = x_2 = 1, x_3 = x_4 = 0, x_5 = -4

Hence the equation is:

P(x) = (x - 1)²x²(x + 4)

P(x) = (x² - 2x + 1)(x + 4)x²

P(x) = (x³ + 2x² - 7x + 1)x²

P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

Item b:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 4, x_3 = 0, x_4 = -4

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 4)²x(x + 4)

P(x) = a(x² - 16)x(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x³ - 16x)(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

It passes through the point x = 5, P(x) = 36, hence:

45a = 36.

a = 4/5

a = 0.8

Hence:

P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

Item 3:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 3, x_3 = -2

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 3)²(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x² - 6x + 9)(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

For the y-intercept, x = 0, y = -1.8, hence:

18a = -1.8 -> a = -0.1

Thus the function is:

P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, which grow at a rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6
Leto [7]
<h2>Number of bacteria after 6 days is 2313</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Population after n days is given by

              P_n=P_0(1+r)^n

Initial population, P₀ = 1000

Increase rate, r = 15 % = 0.15

Number of days, n = 6

Substituting

             P_n=P_0(1+r)^n\\\\P_6=1000(1+0.15)^6\\\\P_6=1000(1.15)^6\\\\P_6=1000\times 2.313\\\\P_6=2313

Number of bacteria after 6 days = 2313

Solve the formula for x.<br> V=2πrx+6πr2
Anna [14]

Answer:

x=−18.849556r2+v/6.283185r

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation.

18.849556r2+6.283185rx=v

Step 2: Add -18.849556r^2 to both sides.

18.849556r2+6.283185rx+−18.849556r2=v+−18.849556r2

0r 2+6.283185rx=−18.849556r2+v

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.283185r. 0r2+6.283185rx/

6.283185r = −18.849556r2+v/6.283185r

x=−18.849556r2+v/6.283185r

Over which interval is the graph of f(x) = –x2 + 3x + 8 increasing?
vivado [14]
Hello there!

To find the increasing intervals for this graph just based on the equation, we should find the turning points first.

Take the derivative of f(x)...
f(x)=-x²+3x+8
f'(x)=-2x+3

Set f'(x) equal to 0...
0=-2x+3
-3=-2x
3/2=x

This means that the x-value of our turning point is 3/2. Now we need to analyze the equation to figure out the end behavior of this graph as x approaches infinity and negative infinity.
Since the leading coefficient is -1, as x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches -∞ Because the exponent of the leading term is even, the end behavior of f(x) as x approaches -∞ is also -∞.

This means that the interval by which this parabola is increasing is...
(-∞,3/2)

PLEASE DON'T include 3/2 on the increasing interval because it's a turning point. The slope of the tangent line to the turning point is 0 so the graph isn't increasing OR decreasing at this point.

I really hope this helps!
Best wishes :)

Students were surveyed about their preference between dogs and cats. The following two-way table displays data for the sample of
lesya [120]

Based on the data presented, it can be concluded out of the 52 females 26 prefer cats.

<h3>How to read the graph?</h3>

To read the graph we must take into account that the rows refer to the preference of men, preference of women and those who have no preference.

On the other hand, the columns refer to the number of students of both genders who prefer or do not prefer each animal. Additionally, adding all the students of each gender we have the total of the sample.

According to the above, the total sample of female students would be 52.

  • 20 + 26 + 6 = 52

According to the above, the fraction that expresses this relationship correctly is:

\frac{26}{52}

Note: This question is incomplete because the graph is missing. Here is  the graph.
