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 do you fraction decimals and percents and all of that
Korvikt [17]
From fraction to decimal:  divide the numerator by the denominator 

From decimal to percent: move the decimal two places to the right. For example: 0.062=6.2%

From percent to decimal: move the decimal point two steps to the left. For example: 56%=0.56

From decimal to fraction: Rewrite the decimal number number as a fraction (example: <span>2.625=<span>2.6251</span></span>) an then Multiply by 1 to eliminate 3 decimal places, we multiply numerator and denominator by 10 cubed = 1000<span><span><span>2.625/1</span>×<span>1000/1000</span>=<span>2625/1000 and don forget to reduce if possible;)

you rent a canoe for 5$ per hour.Your cost before the tax is added is 12.50. write and solve an equation to find the total numbe
Basile [38]

Answer: The equation is   5x = 12.50   and  you will have the canoe for 2 and half hours or 2 hours 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You rent the canoe for 5 dollars per hour and that can be represented by the expression  5x.  After sometime you paid $12.50 meaning that to find the number of hours that you need the canoe, we need to set 5x to equal 12.50.

5x  = 12.50    Solve for x  by divide both sides by 5.

x = 2.5

This means you will need the canoe for 2 and half hours.
