Using a system of equations, it is found that £52 was originally shared.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

  • Variable x: Angela's share.
  • Variable y: Michelle's share.
  • Variable z: Daniel's share.

Angela and Michelle shared some money in the ratio 4: 9, hence, considering t as the total:

  • x = \frac{4t}{13}.
  • y = \frac{9t}{13}

Angela gave Daniel half her share.Michelle gave Daniel a third of her share. Daniel was given a total of £20, hence:

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 20

\frac{4t}{26} + \frac{9t}{39} = 20

\frac{12t + 18t}{78} = 20

30t = 20 x 78

t = 20 x 78/30

t = £52.

M is a degree 3 polynomial with m ( 0 ) = 53.12 and zeros − 4 and 4 i . Find an equation for m with only real coefficients (i.E.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Therefore the required polynomial is

M(x)=0.83(x³+4x²+16x+64)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is a polynomial of degree 3.

So, it has three zeros.

Let the polynomial be

M(x) =a(x-p)(x-q)(x-r)

The two zeros of the polynomial are -4 and 4i.

Since 4i is a complex number. Then the conjugate of 4i is also a zero of the polynomial i.e -4i.

Then,

M(x)= a{x-(-4)}(x-4i){x-(-4i)}

      =a(x+4)(x-4i)(x+4i)

      =a(x+4){x²-(4i)²}      [ applying the formula (a+b)(a-b)=a²-b²]

      =a(x+4)(x²-16i²)

      =a(x+4)(x²+16)      [∵i² = -1]

      =a(x³+4x²+16x+64)

Again given that M(0)= 53.12 . Putting x=0 in the polynomial

53.12 =a(0+4.0+16.0+64)

\Rightarrow a = \frac{53.12}{64}

      =0.83

Therefore the required polynomial is

M(x)=0.83(x³+4x²+16x+64)
