Which of the following is a root of the polynomial function below

Mathematics

VMariaS [17]3 years ago

Answer:

A) 2 + i

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + x + 5

0 = x^3 - 3x^2 + x + 5

0 = (x+1)(x^2 - 4x + 5)

Great, now we can separate these two parenthesis expressions because of the Zero Product Property. Start with the simple one:

0 = x + 1

<u>x = -1</u>

We have our first real root! But it doesn't look like that's one of the answer choices, so move on to the other expression:

0 = (x^2 - 4x +5)

This expression can't be factored, so we will use the quadratic formula (which is x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }  }{2a}).

First solve for the positive part:

= (4 + sqrt(16-20)) / 2

  = 4 + sqrt(-4) / 2

  = 4 + 2i / 2

  <u>= 2 + i</u>

Then for the negative part:

= (4 - sqrt(16-20)) / 2

  = 4 - sqrt(-4) / 2

  = 4 - 2i / 2

  <u>= 2 - i</u>

<u></u>

<u>2 + i</u> is answer choice A! Our other roots, <u>2 - i</u> and <u>-1</u>, aren't answer choices.

Suppose that the proportions of blood phenotypes in a particular population are as follows: A B AB O 0.48 0.13 0.03 0.36 Assumin
Serggg [28]

Answer:

P(O and O) =0.1296

P=0.3778

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

blood phenotypes in a particular population

A=0.48

B=0.13

AB=0.03

O=0.36

As we know that when A and B both are independent that

P(A and B)= P(A) X P(B)

The probability that both phenotypes O are in independent:

P(O and O)= P(O) X P(O)

P(O and O)= 0.36 X 0.36 =0.1296

P(O and O) =0.1296

The probability that the phenotypes of two randomly selected individuals match:

Here  four case are possible

So

P=P(A and A)+P(B and B)+P(AB and AB)+P(O and O)

P=0.48 x 0.48 + 0.13 x 0.13 + 0.03 x 0.03 + 0.36 x 0.36

P=0.3778
