Answer:
length when found = length at birth + (age × yearly growth)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomial f(x) has the following conditions: zeros of -4 (multiplicity 3), 1 (multiplicity 1), and with f(0) = 320.
The first part zeros of -4 means (x+4) and multiplicity 3 means (x+4)^3.
The second part zeros of 1 means (x-1) and multiplicity 1 means (x-1).
The third part f(0) = 320 means substituting x=0 into (x+4)^3*(x-1)*k =320
(0+4)^3*(0-1)*k = 320
-64k = 320
k = -5
Combining all three conditions, f(x)
= -5(x+4)^3*(x-1)
= -5(x^3 + 3*4*x^2 + 3*4*4*x + 4^3)(x-1)
= -5(x^4 + 12x^3 + 48x^2 + 64x - x^3 - 12x^2 - 48x - 64)
= -5(x^4 + 11x^3 + 36x^2 + 16x -64)
= -5x^3 -55x^3 - 180x^2 - 80x + 320
Congruent since all angles are equivalent to each other.
