How many cubic (i.e., third-degree) polynomials $f(x)$ are there such that $f(x)$ has positive integer coefficients and $f(1)=9$

? (note: all coefficients must be positive---coefficients are not permitted to be 0, so for example $f(x) = x^3 + 8$ is not a valid polynomial.)?

There are 2 Senators from each of 50 states. We wish to make a 3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same sta
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

a) rCn = 1176

b) 2352

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Each committee should be formed with 3 members ( no two members could be of the same state) then

Let´s  fix a senator for any of the 50 states so in the new condition we need to combined 49 senators in groups of 2 then

rCn =  n! / (n - r )! *r!

rCn =  49!/ (49 - 2)!*2!

rCn =  49*48*47! / 47!*2!

rCn = 49*48 /2

rCn = 1176

So we can choose in 1176 different ways a senator for a given state

b) To answer this question we have to note, that, 1176 is the number of ways a committee can be formed with senators of different sate (taking just one senator for state ) if we have 2 senators we need to multiply that figure by 2.

1176*2 = 2352

Which of the following is a true polynomial identity?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

  c.  (x^2+1)(x^2+a)-a = x^2(x^2+a+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use FOIL or the distributive property to expand the product of binomials, Then collect terms and factor out the common factor.

  (x^2+1)(x^2+a)-a

  = x^2(x^2 +a) +1(x^2 +a) -a

  = x^4 +ax^2 +x^2 +a -a

  = x^4 +ax^2 +x^2

  = x^2(x^2 +a +1) . . . . . matches choice C
