Answer:

The 4p-8 expression equivalent to 4p - 8 is 4(p-2) .

Option (d) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given the expression in the question .

= 4p-8

Take 4(P-2)

= 4 (p-2)

Open the bracket

= 4 × p - 4 × 2

Simplfy the above

= 4p - 8

Thus the expression 4p-8 is equivalent to 4 (p-8) .

Option (d) is correct .

Write the polynomial f(x)=x^4-10x^3+25x^2-40x+84. In factored form

Verizon [17]

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, to factor this we need to first find the potential roots of this polynomial. To find it, the equation is $\pm \frac{p}{q}$ , with p = the factors of the constant and q = the factors of the leading coefficient. In this case:

$\textsf{leading coefficient = 1, constant = 84}\\\\p=1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84\\q=1\\\\\pm \frac{1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84}{1}\\\\\textsf{Potential roots =}\pm 1, \pm 2,\pm 3,\pm 4,\pm 6, \pm 7,\pm 12,\pm 14,\pm 21,\pm 28,\pm 42,\pm 84$

Next, plug in the potential roots into x of the equation until one of them ends with a result of 0:

$f(1)=(1)^4-10(1)^3+25(1)^2-40(1)+84\\f(1)=1-10+25-40+84\\f(1)=60\ \textsf{Not a root}\\\\f(2)=2^4-10(2)^3+25(2)^2-40(2)+84\\f(2)=16-10*8+25*4-80+84\\f(2)=16-80+100-80+84\\f(2)=80\ \textsf{Not a root}\\\\f(3)=3^4-10(3)^3+25(3)^2-40(3)+84\\f(3)=81-10*27+25*9-120+84\\f(3)=81-270+225-120+84\\f(3)=0\ \textsf{Is a root}$

Since we know that 3 is a root, this means that one of the factors is (x - 3). Now that we know one of the roots, we are going to use synthetic division to divide the polynomial. To set it up, place the root of the divisor, in this case 3 from x - 3, on the left side and the coefficients of the original polynomial on the right side as such:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
_________________

Firstly, drop the 1:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓
_________________
1

Next, multiply 3 and 1, then add the product with -10:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3
_________________
1 - 7

Next, multiply 3 and -7, then add the product with 25:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3 - 21
_________________
1 - 7 + 4

Next, multiply 3 and 4, then add the product with -40:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3 - 21 + 12
_________________
1 - 7 + 4 - 28

Lastly, multiply -28 and 3, then add the product with 84:

3 | 1 - 10 + 25 - 40 + 84
↓ + 3 - 21 + 12 - 84
_________________
1 - 7 + 4 - 28 + 0

Now our synthetic division is complete. Now since the degree of the original polynomial is 4, this means our quotient has a degree of 3 and follows the format $ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$ . In this case, our quotient is $x^3-7x^2+4x-28$ .

So right now, our equation looks like this:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^3-7x^2+4x-28)$

However, our second factor can be further simplified. For the second factor, I will be factoring by grouping. So factor x³ - 7x² and 4x - 28 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside the parentheses:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^2(x-7)+4(x-7))$

Now it can be rewritten as:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+4)(x-7)$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Since the polynomial cannot be further simplified, your answer is:

$f(x)=(x-3)(x^2+4)(x-7)$

Situation:

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

5.6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Initial Mass; N_o = 25 g

Mass at time(t); N_t = 25/2 = 12.5 (I divide by 2 because we are dealing with half life)

k = 0.1229

Formula is given as;

N_t = N_o•e^(-kt)

Plugging in the relevant values;

12.5 = 25 × e^(-0.1229t)

e^(-0.1229t) = 12.5/25

e^(-0.1229t) = 0.5

(-0.1229t) = In 0.5

-0.1229t = -0.6931

t = -0.6931/-0.1229

t = 5.6 days

Madam Siti bought the same lengths of red and yellow ribbons. After she used 836 cm of the red ribbon, the length of the yellow

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: 1045 cm of red ribbon and 1045 cm of yellow ribbon

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let R represent the amount red ribbon and Y represent the amouont of yellow ribbon.

bought the same lengths of red and yellow: R = Y

after used 286 of red, yellow is 5 times the remaining red; 5(R - 836) = Y

Use substitution method to solve:

5(R - 836) = R

5R - 4180 = R <em>distributed 5 on the left side</em>

4R - 4180 = 0 <em>subtracted R from both sides</em>

4R = 4180 <em>added 4180 to both sides</em>

R = 1045 <em>divided both sides by 4</em>

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 6 cm and its hypotenuse measures 8 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necess

Vika [28.1K]

Well, this is a Pythagorean theorem problem. A^2 + B^2 = C^2, where C^2 is equal to the hypotenuse. 8 squared equals 64, so c^2 = 64 cm. The other leg can be represented by A^2, which is 36 cm. 36 + ? = 64. 64 - 36 = 28, so B^2 equals 28. Now, to find the measurement of the other leg, we need the square root of 28. The square root of 28 is 5.3 cm.

Your final answer is 5.3 cm.
