We can simply multiply the roots together to find the original function.
(x + 2)(x - 4)(x - 4)(x - 3)
FOIL.
x^2 - 4x + 2x - 8(x - 4)(x - 3)
Combine like terms.
x^2 - 2x - 8(x - 4)(x - 3)
FOIL.
x^3 - 2x^2 - 8x - 4x^2 + 8x + 32(x - 3)
Combine like terms.
x^3 - 6x^2 + 32(x - 3)
FOIL.
x^4 - 6x^3 + 32x - 3x^3 + 18x^2 - 96
Combine like terms.
<h3>x^4 - 9x^3 + 18x^2 + 32x - 96 is the original function with the given roots.</h3>
Answer:
x = - 5, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = 
The denominator cannot be zero as this would make y undefined.
Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the values that x cannot be, that is
(x + 5)(x + 11) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x + 11 = 0 ⇒ x = - 11
Thus
x = - 11 and x = - 5 are excluded values.
Answer:
The number sold at $12.50 is 25
The number sold at $9.50 is 62
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:
x 12.50 + y 9.50=901.50
x+y= 87
Where
x= number of pottery pieces sold
y= number of pottery pieces sold at a decreased price
Multiplying the second equation by 9.50, and subtracting the second equation to the first equation:
12.50 x + 9.50y = 901.50
-
9.50 x+ 9.50 y= 826.5
__________________
3 x = 75
Solving for x
x =75/3
x = 25
Replacing x=25 on any equation:
x+y= 87
25+y =87
y=87-25
y= 62
