Answer:
a. attached graph; zero real: 2
b. p(x) = (x - 2)(x + 3 + 3i)(x + 3 - 3i)
c. the solutions are 2, -3-3i and -3+3i
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = x³ + 4x² + 6x - 36
a. Through the graph, we can see that 2 is a real zero of the polynomial p. We can also use the Rational Roots Test.
p(2) = 2³ + 4.2² + 6.2 - 36 = 8 + 16 + 12 - 36 = 0
b. Now, we can use Briott-Ruffini to find the other roots and write p as a product of linear factors.
2 | 1 4 6 -36
1 6 18 0
x² + 6x + 18 = 0
Δ = 6² - 4.1.18 = 36 - 72 = -36 = 36i²
√Δ = 6i
x = -6±6i/2 = 2(-3±3i)/2
x' = -3-3i
x" = -3+3i
p(x) = (x - 2)(x + 3 + 3i)(x + 3 - 3i)
c. the solutions are 2, -3-3i and -3+3i
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle GPE is an inscribed angle. It intercepts arc GFE. The rule for inscribed angles and the arcs they intercept is that the angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. Angle P is 96, so that means that arc GFE is twice that. 2(96) = 192. We have arc FG as 92, so that means that arc FE is 192 - 92 which is 100 degrees. The third choice down.
The value of x would be 8
