Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomials are given as follows:

1. P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

2. P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

3. P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

<h3>What is the Factor Theorem?</h3>

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Item a:

The parameters are:

a = 1, x_1 = x_2 = 1, x_3 = x_4 = 0, x_5 = -4

Hence the equation is:

P(x) = (x - 1)²x²(x + 4)

P(x) = (x² - 2x + 1)(x + 4)x²

P(x) = (x³ + 2x² - 7x + 1)x²

P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2

Item b:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 4, x_3 = 0, x_4 = -4

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 4)²x(x + 4)

P(x) = a(x² - 16)x(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x³ - 16x)(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

It passes through the point x = 5, P(x) = 36, hence:

45a = 36.

a = 4/5

a = 0.8

Hence:

P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)

Item 3:

The roots are:

x_1 = x_2 = 3, x_3 = -2

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 3)²(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x² - 6x + 9)(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

For the y-intercept, x = 0, y = -1.8, hence:

18a = -1.8 -> a = -0.1

Thus the function is:

P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

A) Find the value of x.
Tcecarenko [31]
It is a pentagon. The sum of all angles of pentagon is 540°.

A) (x+10)+(2x-10)+(x-25)+(x+20)+(x-13)=540
    x=93

B) x+20 = 93+20 = 113°. The adjacent exterior angle is 180 - 113 = 67°

Aria is paddling a canoe at a constant speed. She starts a timer when she is 40 feet from her starting position. After 30 second
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

y = 3x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept equation takes the form

y = mx + c

Where m is the gradient, and c is the y-intercept.

If we assume we are plotting a graph where the X axis is time, and the y axis is distance, and we know our time value starts at 40, then we can say that our y intercept value is 40.

Next, let's figure out how far she has travelled. 130-40 = 90, and she has travelled this distance in 30 seconds, so dividing 90 by 30, we know that she is travelling 3 feet a second. This leaves us with a gradient of 3.

Putting these two values together, we can find the final form of the equation to be:

y = 3x + 40
