Answer: p(x) = a (x-b)(x-c)(x-d)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to determine the degree of the polynomial.

It shall depend totally on the linear factors given for the polynomial.

If there is one, it is a linear polynomial.

If there are 2, then it is a quadratic polynomial.

If there are three then it shall be a cubic polynomial.

Now let us assume that there are three linear factors.

We multiply those factors and write the polynomial.

If x-b, x-c & x-d are the factors we write

p(x) = (x-b)(x-c)(x-d)

But as we may have a leading coefficient so we write the polynomial as

Then we go on to expand this to get the polynomial in the standard form.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the degree of polynomial.

Consider two linear factors

(x-a) and (x-b)

Multiplying these two factors to get the polynomial.

p(x)=(x-a)(x-b)=x^2-(a+b)x+ab

There are two linear factors .

Therefore, the degree of polynomial is 2 and the polynomial is quadratic.

Degree of polynomial=Number of linear factors

If the linear factors are three then the polynomial formed by multiplying theses factors .

Then, we get the polynomial of degree 3 and the polynomial is cubic polynomial.

It we have four linear factors.

After multiplying these four factors, we get a polynomial of degree 4.

The polynomial is bi quadratic.

Determine whether or not the lines are parallel based on the
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To see whether or not two lines are parallel, we must compare their slopes. Two lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal. The line 2x – 3y = 4 is in standard form. In general, a line in the form Ax + By = C has a slope of –A/B; therefore, the slope of line q must be –2/–3 = 2/3.

Two faces of a six-sided die are painted red, two are painted blue, and two are painted yellow. The die is rolled three times, a
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

(a) 4/9

(b) 19/27

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each die turning up red or not turning red are:

P(R) =\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}\\P(O) =\frac{4}{6}= \frac{2}{3}

(a). Exactly one face up is red.

The odds of only the first die being red are:

P(A=R) =\frac{1}{3} *\frac{2}{3}* \frac{2}{3} \\P(1=R) =\frac{4}{27}

The same odds are valid for only the second or only the third die being red. Therefore, the probability that exactly one die turns up red is:

P(R=1) = 3*\frac{4}{27}\\P(R=1) = \frac{4}{9}

(b). At least one face up is red.

The probability that at least one die turns up red is the sum of the probabilities of exactly one (found in the previous item), two or all dice turning up red.

Following the same logic as in the previous item, the probability that exactly two dice turn up red is:

P(R=2) = 3*(\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{2}{3})\\P(R=2) = \frac{2}{9}

The probability that all die turn up red is:

P(R=3) = \frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}*\frac{1}{3}\\P(R=3)=\frac{1}{27}

Thus, the probability that at least one die turns up red is:

P= P(R=1)+P(R=2)+P(R=3) = \frac{4}{9}+\frac{2}{9}+\frac{1}{27}\\P=\frac{19}{27}

11. In AWTY, if mZW is five less than twice mZY and mZX is 21 more than m_Y find the measure
wolverine [178]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  angles (W, X, Y) = (77°, 62°, 41°)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  ΔWZY

  ∠W = 2(∠Y) -5°

  ∠X = ∠Y +21°

<u>Find</u>:

  ∠X, ∠Y, ∠W

<u>Solution</u>:

Using angle measures in degrees, we have ...

  ∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180

  (∠Y +21) +∠Y + (2(∠Y) -5) = 180

  4(∠Y) +16 = 180 . . . . . simplify

  ∠Y +4 = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  ∠Y = 41 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4

  ∠W = 2(41) -5 = 77

  ∠X = 41 +21 = 62

The angle measures of angles (W, X, Y) are (77°, 62°, 41°), respectively.
