Write a polynomial function of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and the given zeros.
kogti [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  f(x) = x³ -5x² +2x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function has a zero of p, then it has a factor of (x-p). The polynomial of least degree will only have factors corresponding to the given zeros:

  f(x) = (x -(-1))(x -2)(x -4)

  = (x +1)(x -2)(x -4)

  = (x² -x -2)(x -4)

  f(x) = x³ -5x² +2x +8

What is -2x^ -5x + 5 + 0 using quadratic formula
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

x = -5 + √65/2 or

x = -5 - √65/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x² - 5x + 5 = 0

2x² + 5x - 5 = 0

Here,

a = 2

b = 5

c = - 5

Now,

Discriminant

<em><u>D = b² - 4ac</u></em>

<em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em>= (5)² - 4(2)(-5)

= 25 + 40

= 65

<u>D = 65 > 0</u>

Then,

x = -b +-√b² - 4ac/2a

x = -5 +-√(5)² - 4(2)(-5)/2(2)

= -5 +-√25 + 40/4

= -5 +-√65/4

= -5 +-√65/2

<em><u>x = -5 + √65/2 or x = -5 - √65/2</u></em>

Miriam has 62 feet of fencing to make a rectangular vegetable garden. Which dimensions will give Miriam the garden with greatest
lidiya [134]
Perimeter: P=62 feet
P=2(b+h)
62=2(b+h)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
62/2=2(b+h)/2
31=b+h
b+h=31   (1)

Area: A=bh   (2)

Isolating h in equation (1)
(1) b+h=31→b+h-b=31-b→h=31-b   (3)

Replacing h by 31-b in equation (2)
(2) A=bh
A=b(31-b)
A=31b-b^2

To maximize the area:
A'=0

A'=(A)'=(31b-b^2)'=(31b)'-(b^2)'=31-2b^(2-1)→A'=31-2b

A'=0→31-2b=0
Solving for b:
31-2b+2b=0+2b
31=2b
Dividing both sides by 2:
31/2=2b/2
31/2=b
b=31/2=15.5

Replacing b by 31/2 in equation (3)
h=31-b
h=31-31/2
h=(2*31-31)/2
h=(62-31)/2
h=31/2

The dimensions are 31/2 ft x 31/2 ft = 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft
The area with these dimensions is: A=(15.5 ft)(15.5 ft)→A=240.25 ft^2

These dimensions are not in the options

1) The first option has an area of: A=(18 ft)(13 ft)→A=234 ft^2
2) The second option has an area of: A=(19 ft)(12 ft)→A=228 ft^2
3) The third option has an area of: A=(17 ft)(14 ft)→A=238 ft^2

The third option has the largest area.

Answer: Third option
