Carefully follow the steps to find the solution to the three equation system.

I can’t figure out how to use the zeros in the polynomial. Please explain

Temka [501]

Answer:

a) $P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)$

b) $P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)$

c) $P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For the question a * you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

$P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)$

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

For question b, do the same procedure.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

$x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0$

---------------------------------------

$x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)$

Finally for the question c we have

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

$x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0$

----------------------------------------

$x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0$

-----------------------------------------

$P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2$

12.what is the probability that a boy and a girl chosen randsomly will be seniors?

zhenek [66]

$\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{20}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability= $\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior= $\frac{\text{number of senior girls}}{\text{total number of girls}}$

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior= $\frac{7}{8+11+9+7}=\frac{7}{35}=\frac{1}{5}$

Probability for a randomly chosen boy to be senior= $\frac{\text{number of senior boys}}{\text{total number of boys}}$

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior= $\frac{9}{10+7+10+9}=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}$

For two independent events,

Probability for both event 1 and event 2 to take place= $\text{probability of event 1} \times \text{probability of event 2}$

Since choosing boys and girls is independent,

Probability for both boy an girl chosen to be senior= $\text{probability for boy to be senior}\times\text{probability for girl to be senior}$

Probability for both boy and girl chosen to be senior= $\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{20}$

So,required probability is $\frac{1}{20}$

1. Suppose y varies directly as x. If y = 3 when x = 15. then find x when y = 5.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

when y=3,X=15

here X is five times the value of y

so now when y= 5 then the value of X will be 25

hope you understand......
