The number is multiplied by 3 every time
and next three terms are 1/324, 1/972 and 1/2916
good luck
4p^2 + 4p - 5
As the expression cannot be factored in it's current form, we need to check if splitting the middle term is possible.
<em><u>List factors of -20.</u></em>
-5 * 4
5 * -4
-10 * 2
10 * -2
-20 * 1
20 * -1
<u>None of the factors added together result in positive 4.</u>
Because splitting the middle term is not possible, and we cannot simplify this expression any further:
This expression cannot be fully factored.
Answer:
x³ - 5x² + 81x - 405 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Complex roots occur in conjugate pairs.
Thus given x = - 9i is a root then x = 9i is also a root
The factors are then (x - 5), (x - 9i) and (x + 9i)
The polynomial is the the product of the roots, that is
f(x) = (x - 5)(x - 9i)(x + 9i) ← expand the complex factors
= (x - 5)(x² - 81i²) → note i² = - 1
= (x - 5)(x² + 81) ← distribute
= x³ + 81x - 5x² - 405, thus
x³ - 5x² + 81x - 405 = 0 ← is the polynomial equation
180,have a beautiful day!
