Answer:

P ( x ) = -0.7 (x - 2)²(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We are given</u> :

P ( x ) , has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 2

and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = − 3

Then

P ( x ) = a (x - 2)²(x + 3)  ; where ‘a’ is a real number.

P ( x ) = a (x - 2)²(x + 3)

= a (x² - 4x + 4)(x + 3)

= a [x³ - 4x² + 4x + 3x² - 12x + 12]

P (0) = -8.4

⇔ a [(0)³ - 4(0)² + 4(0) + 3(0)² - 12(0) + 12] = -8.4

⇔ 12 a  = -8.4

⇔  a  = (-8,4) ÷ 12

⇔  a  = -0,7

<u>Conclusion</u> :

P ( x ) = -0.7 (x - 2)²(x + 3)

what is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6,1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=2x-6?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the standard form on an equation:  y = mx + b

A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line.  We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..

1 = -(1/2)(6) + b           We must solve for b (  -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)

1 = -3 + b

4 = b  

so our equation is

y = -(1/2)x + 4
