Finding a polynomial of a given degree with given zeros

Mathematics
1 answer:
galben [10]1 year ago
5 0

Since f(x) is a polynomial with 3rd degree, then it will have 3 roots (zeroes)

One of them is real and the other two are complex conjugate roots

Since the real root is 4, then

x = 4

Since the complex root is (1 - i), then

The other root will be the conjugate of it (1 + i)

x = (1 - i)

x = (1 + i)

To find f(x) we will multiply the three factors of it

We can get the factors from the zeroes

x=4

Subtract 4 from both sides

\begin{gathered} x-4=4-4 \\ x-4=0 \end{gathered}

The first factor is (x - 4)

\begin{gathered} x=1-i \\ x-(1-i)=(1-i)-(1-i) \\ x-1+i=0 \end{gathered}

The second factor is (x - 1 + i)

The third factor is (x - 1 - i)

f(x)=(x-4)(x-1+i)(x-1-i)

We will multiply them to find f(x)

\begin{gathered} (x-1+i)(x-1-i)= \\ x^2-x-ix-x+1+i+ix-i-(i^2)= \\ x^2-2x+1-(-1)= \\ x^2-2x+1+1= \\ x^2-2x+2 \end{gathered}

Multiply it by (x - 4)

\begin{gathered} f(x)=(x-4)(x^2-2x+2) \\ f(x)=x^3-2x^2+2x-4x^2+8x-8 \\ f(x)=x^3-6x^2+10x-8 \end{gathered}

The answer is

f(x)=x^3-6x^2+10x-8

The coordinates of P and Q are (2,6) and (4,5) respectively. Equation of a line RS is Y= 2X -3. Determine if the lines are paral
Travka [436]

Answer:

Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points P=(2,6) and Q=(4,5)

The line RS is y=2x-3.

Now we know that the line joining any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) has slope m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Now the slope of the line PQ is

m1=\frac{5-6}{4-2}= -\frac{1}{2}

We know that  the slope of the line in the form y=mx+c is m

So the line RS has slope m2=2

Now two lines are parallel if m1=m2

And those two lines are perpendicular if m1*m2=-1

here m1= -\frac{1}{2}    and m2=2

clearly m1*m2=-1

Therefore the two given lines are perpendicular
