The equation of the <em>quartic</em> function is f(x) = x⁴ - 18 · x² + 6 · x + 72.

<h3>How to find the possible equations for a quartic polynomial that passes through the x-axis at three points</h3>

Herein we must construct at least a polynomial that satisfies all conditions described in the statement. According to the fundamental theorem of algebra, <em>quartic</em> functions may have no <em>real</em> roots, two <em>real</em> roots or four <em>real</em> roots, which means that one of the roots must have a multiplicity of 2.

The root with a multiplicity of 2 is x = 3 and both x = - 4 and x = - 2 have only a multiplicity of 1, then we have the following expression by using the <em>factor</em> form of the definition of polynomials:

f(x) = (x - 3)² · (x + 4) · (x + 2)

Now we expand the expression to get the <em>standard</em> form:

f(x) = (x² - 6 · x + 9) · (x² + 6 · x + 8)

f(x) = x⁴ - 6 · x³ + 9 · x² + 6 · x³ - 36 · x² + 54 · x + 8 · x² - 48 · x + 72

f(x) = x⁴ - 18 · x² + 6 · x + 72

How many pounds of cashews that cost $14 per pound must be mixed with 5 pounds of peanuts that cost $6.50 per pound to make mixe
Fantom [35]

The amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds

<h3>Word problem on total cost</h3>

Cost of 1 pound of cashew = $14

Cost of 1 pound of peanut = $6.50

Total cost of 1 pound of the mixed nuts = $10.25

Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = 5 x $6.50

Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = $32.50

Let the amount of cashew  be x

Total cost of x cashew = 14x

Total amount of the mixed nuts = x + 5

Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25(x+5)

Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25x + 51.25

14x  +  32.50  =  10.25x  +  51.25

14x - 10.25x  =  51.25  -  32.50

3.75x  =  18.75

x  =  18.75/3.75

x  =  5

Therefore, the amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds
