Considering the polynomial f(x) = x^4  - 16x³ + 70x² + 48x - 219, we have that:

a) The zeros are: x = -1.995, x = 1.995, x = 8 - 3i, x = 8 + 3i.

b) The linear factors are: (x + 1.995)(x - 1.995)(x - 8 + 3i)(x - 8 - 3i).

c) The solutions to f(x) = 0 are: x = -1.995, x = 1.995, x = 8 - 3i, x = 8 + 3i.

<h3>How to obtain the zeros of the polynomial?</h3>

The given zero of the polynomial is:

8 + 3i

Hence it's conjugate is also a zero, that is:

8 - 3i.

Thus the first two factors are given as follows:

(x - 8 - 3i)(x - 8 + 3i) = x² - 16x + 64 + 9i² = x² - 16x + 55.

Then the polynomial can be written as follows:

x^4  - 16x³ + 70x² + 48x - 219 = (ax² + bx + c)(x² - 16x + 55).

As a fourth order polynomial can be the product of two second order polynomials. Applying the distributive property to the right side of the equality, we have that:

x^4  - 16x³ + 70x² + 48x - 219 = ax^4 + x³(b - 16a) + x²(55a + c - 16b) + x(55b - 16c) + 55c.

Then the coefficients are given as follows:

  • a = 1.
  • 55c = -219 -> c = -219/55 -> c = -3.98.
  • b - 16a = -16 -> b = 0.

Hence the other two factors are given as follows:

x² - 3.98 = 0

x = ± sqrt(3.98)

x = ± 1.995.

The linear factors are:

(x - x')(x - x'')(x - x''')(x - x'''').

In which x', x'', x''' and x'''' are the roots.

The solutions to f(x) = 0 are the roots.

Circle R has equation
Rudiy27

Answer:

The center is (-10,10)  and the radius is 4sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 48

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x -h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-  -10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = (sqrt(16*3) )^2

(x-  -10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = (4sqrt(3)) ^2

The center is (-10,10)  and the radius is 4sqrt(3)

Two pairs of statements about Jeff's housing expenditures are given below. How can both pairs of statements be true?
Irina18 [472]

Explanation:

Pair 1 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $600/20% = $3,000.

Pair 2 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $1200/10% = $12,000.

Both pairs can be true if Jeff's monthly income increased by a factor of 4 in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010.

Obviously, Jeff spent more on housing in 2010. (Fortunately for Jeff, that larger expenditure was a smaller fraction of his income.)
