What is the leading coefficient of a cubic polynomial that has a value of −208 when x=1, and has zeros of 5, 5i, and −5i?

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We already have the zeros, so we can write the cubic polynomial in this general form:

y = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2)(x - x_3)

Where:

x_1 = 5

x_2 = 5i

x_3 = -5i

So we have that:

y = a(x -5)(x - 5i)(x + 5i)

y = a(x -5)(x^2 + 25)

To find the value of the leading coefficient 'a', we can use the point (1, -208) given:

-208 = a(1 -5)(1 + 25)

-208 = a(-4)(26)

a = -208 / (-104) = 2

So the leading coefficient is 2.

The complete question in the attached figure

we have that
 for c=5 and n=20------------> n*c=20*5=100
 for c=2.5 and n=40------------> n*c=40*2.5=100
 for c=2 and n=50------------> n*c=50*2=100
 for c=1.25 and n=80------------> n*c=80*1.25=100

therefore
<span>the function that models the data is n*c=100
</span>
the answer is nc=100

Nitella [24]
The height of the tank must be at least 1 foot, or 12 inches. We know the floor area (which is length x width) must be at least 400 inches. Therefore these minimum dimensions already tell us that the minimum volume is 400 x 12 = 4800 cubic inches. Since we have a maximum of 5000 cubic inches, the volume must be within the range of 4800 - 5000 cubic inches.

We can set the height at exactly 1 ft (or 12 inches). Then we can select length and width that multiply to 400 square inches, for example, L = 40 inches and W = 10 in. This gives us a tank of dimensions 40 x 10 x 12 = 4800 cubic inches, which fits all the criteria.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: The parking lot in the drawing is 36 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Actual width of parking lot = 54 meters

The scale she used was 2 centimeters : 3 meters.

i.e. 3 actual meters = 2 centimeters on drawing

⇒ 1 actual meter = \dfrac23 centimeters on drawing

⇒ 54 actual meters = 54\times\dfrac23 centimeters on drawing

⇒ 54 actual meters = 36 centimeters

Hence, the parking lot in the drawing is 36 centimeters.
