Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8 points: unlikely
16 points: impossible
more than 0 points: likely
Step-by-step explanation:
X+y=31.5
x-y=5.25
add 2 equations
x+y+x-y=31.5+5.25
2x=36.75
x=18.375
y=31.5-18.375=13.125
check : 18.375+13.125=31.5, 18.375-13.125=5.25
so
Answer:
18.375 and 13.125
Answer:
x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
Step-by-step explanation:
If <em>a</em> is a zero, then (<em>x-a</em>) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...
p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)
Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.
= (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)
We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.
= (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)
= x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160
p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
_____
The graph shows this polynomial has the required zeros.
