Answer:

  5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible rational roots are ...

  ±(divisor of 9)/(divisor of 2)

So, the possibilities are ...

  ±1/2, ±1, ±3/2, ±3, ±9/2, ±9

The one on your list that is not among these is 5/2.

5/2 is not a possible rational root.

I can’t figure out how to use the zeros in the polynomial. Please explain
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

b) P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

c) P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0

---------------------------------------

x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0

--------------------------------------

P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0

----------------------------------------

x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0

-----------------------------------------

P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2

Challenge question<br>please help<br>​
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The 3 possible values of x are;

6, 4 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is isosceles, then two of the sides must be equal

So we equate the sides, 2 at a time to get the different values of x

3x + 4 = 2x + 10

3x-2x = 10-4

x = 6

3x + 4 = x + 12

3x-x = 12-4

2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

2x + 10 = x + 12

2x - x = 12-10

x = 2
