GIVEN:

We are given the following polynomial;

x^3+x^2+4x+4

Required;

We are required to factorize this polynomial completely.

Step-by-step explanation;

To factorize this polynomial, we start by grouping;

(x^3+x^2)+(4x+4)

We now take the common factor in each group;

\begin{gathered} x^2(x+1)+4(x+1) \\  \\ (x^2+4)(x+1) \end{gathered}

Next, we factorize the first parenthesis. To do this we set the equation equal to zero and solve for x as follows;

\begin{gathered} x^2+4=0 \\  \\ Subtract\text{ }4\text{ }from\text{ }both\text{ }sides: \\  \\ x^2=-4 \\  \\ Take\text{ }the\text{ }square\text{ }root\text{ }of\text{ }both\text{ }sides: \\  \\ x=\pm\sqrt{-4} \\  \\ x=(\pm\sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{4}) \\  \\ x=\pm2i \end{gathered}

Therefore, the factors of the other parenthesis are;

(x+2i)(x-2i)

Therefore, the complete factorization of the polynomial is;

ANSWER:

(x+1)(x+2i)(x-2i)

Option C is the correct answer.

Can someone help me with question 3
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A formula can be either recursive or explicit. The main difference between Recursive and Explicit is that Recursive formula gives the value of a specific term based on the previous term while Explicit formula gives the value of a specific term.

Prove that: –7 is not the arithmetic square root of 49
frez [133]

Answer:

–7 is not the arithmetic square root of 49 only in case we are taking it for natural number.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The square root of x is that number which on squaring gives the result as x.
  • For example, the square root of 4 is +2 or -2. Because on squaring +2 or -2 we get the number 4.
  • Similarly for the case of 49, the square root might be both +7 or -7.
  • But if we are taking it as a natural number then -7 is not valid. Like for length, quantity or other sort of things -7  is not the arithmetic square root of 49.
