Answer: p=5+3/2 or p=5-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial number occurs when x = 0
so its 9(2)^0
= 9*1
= 9 answer
Function is p(x)=(x-4)^5(x^2-16)(x^2-5x+4)(x^3-64)
first factor into (x-r1)(x-r2)... form
p(x)=(x-4)^5(x-4)(x+4)(x-4)(x-1)(x-4)(x^2+4x+16)
group the like ones
p(x)=(x-4)^8(x+4)^1(x-1)^1(x^2+4x+16)
multiplicity is how many times the root repeats in the function
for a root r₁, the root r₁ multiplicity 1 would be (x-r₁)^1, multility 2 would be (x-r₁)^2
so
p(x)=(x-4)^8(x+4)^1(x-1)^1(x^2+4x+16)
(x-4)^8 is the root 4, it has multiplicity 8
(x-(-4))^1 is the root -4 and has multiplicity 1
(x-1)^1 is the root 1 and has multiplity 1
(x^2+4x+16) is not on the real plane, but the roots are -2+2i√3 and -2-2i√3, each multiplicity 1 (but don't count them because they aren't real
baseically
(x-4)^8 is the root 4, it has multiplicity 8
(x-(-4))^1 is the root -4 and has multiplicity 1
(x-1)^1 is the root 1 and has multiplity 1
