What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x3+5x2+4x−6?

Mathematics

Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6
f(-3)=(-3)^3+5(-3)^2+4(-3)-6=0\implies x+3\text{ is a factor of }f(x)

Synthetic division yields

-3  |  1   5   4   -6
.    |      -3  -6    6
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    |  1   2  -2    0

which translates to

\dfrac{x^3+5x^2+4x-6}{x+3}=x^2+2x-2

with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,

x^2+2x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-2)}}2=-1\pm\sqrt3

and so

f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6=(x+3)(x-(-1+\sqrt3))(x-(-1-\sqrt3))

Given the system of equations, what is the solution?
fredd [130]

The solution for the given equations  x + 3y = 5 and x - 3y = -1 are x=2 and y=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

           x+3y=5......................................(1)

           x-3y=-1....................................(2)

Step:1

         By elimination method,

        Subtracting Equations (1) and (2),

                     x+3y=5

                     x-3y=-1

             ( - )

           ( x-x ) + ( 3y+3y ) = ( 5 +1 )

                                       6y = 6

                                         y = 1

Step:2

        Substitute the value of y in equation (1),

                             x+3y=5

                       x + ( 3 × 1 ) = 5

                                      x = 5-3

                                      x = 2

Step:3

        Check for Solution,

        Substitute the values of x and y in Eqn (1),

                                  x+3y=5

                           2 + ( 3 × 1 ) = 5

                                         5 = 5

Result:

       The solution for the given equations  x + 3y = 5 and x - 3y = -1 are x=2 and y=1, by elimination method.

5(4 − x) = −5x + 20 i need help
adoni [48]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(4-x)=-5x+20

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

-5(4-x)=-5x+20

Reorder the terms in parentheses

+(-20+5x)=-5x+20

Remove unnecessary parentheses

-20+5x=-5x+20

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+5x+5x=+20+20

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+10x=+40

We divide both sides of the equation by 10 to get x.

x=4

A CAT scan produces equally spaced cross-sectional views of a human organ that provide information about the organ otherwise obt
Semmy [17]

Answer:

V=1101cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given this data:

\left[\begin{array}{cccccccccccc}long&0&1.5&3&4.5&6&7.5&9&10.5&12&13.5&15&&\\Area&0&18&59&78&93&105&118&128&63&38&0\end{array}\right]

First, calculate the x points by dividing the total length in 5:

\Delta{x}=\frac{l_f-l_0}{5}= \frac{15-0}{5}= 3

x=3,6,9,12,15

Now you calculate the half point of the x axis intervals you just calculated:

x_h=1.5,4.5,7.5,10.5,13.5

and find the function values of each of them (the Area for each cut):

A(1.5) = 18

A(4.5)=78

A(7.5)=105

A(10.5)=128

A(13.5)=38

Now you have formed the rectangles (see diagram below).

To calculate the volume, just use the next equation given by the midpoint rule:

V=\Delta{x}\sum_1^5{h_{rectangle}}\\V=3\sum(18, 78, 105, 128, 38)\\V=3(367)\\V=1101cm^3

Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The polynomial (x -5) is not a factor of second polynomial 3x^2 + 7x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor theorem states that if you divide a polynomial p(x) by a factor x -a of that polynomial, then you will get a zero remainder.

i.,e p(x) = (x-a)q(x)   which means that if x - a is a factor of p(x), then the remainder, when we do synthetic division by  x= a, will be zero.

Determine whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial.

Given the polynomial:  f(x)=3x^2 + 7x + 40

For  x-5 to be a factor of f(x)=3x^2 + 7x + 40, the factor theorems implies that x = 5 must be a zero of f(x).

Now, to test whether x-5  is a factor;

Set x -5 = 0

⇒x = 5

Then,

we will use synthetic division method to divide f(x) by x =5

you can see the figure as shown below in the attachment.

Since, the remainder is 150 which is not equal to zero, then Factor theorem says that (x-5) is not a  factor of 3x^2 + 7x + 40
