This is going to be a fourth degree polynomial because if x = 4, one of the factors is x - 4; if x = -2, then one of the factors is x + 2; and by the conjugate root theorem, if x = -1 + 2i, then -1-2i HAS to also be a root. If x = -1+2i, then the factor is (x-(-1+2i)). Simplfying that gives us (x+1-2i). Likewise, if x = -1-2i, then the factor is (x-(-1-2i)). Simplifying that gives us (x+1+2i). We will FOIL those complex factors first. Doing that we have x^2+x-2ix+x+1-2i+2ix+2i-4i^2. Once we simplify that down it's much easier to deal with than what it looks like right now. x^2+2x+1-4i^2. Since i^2 = -1, what we have in the end is x^2+2x+5. Now we will multiply that by x-4. (x^2+2x+5)(x-4)=x^3-2x^2-3x-20. Now finally we will multiply in the last factor of x+2. x^4-7x^2-26x-40 is your final fourth degree polynomial.

Answer:

x^{4} - 7x^{2} -26x-40

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial will be a fourth degree polynomial.

Let's take x = 4, then one of the factors is x - 4.

Then if x = -2, then the factor will be:

x + 2 = -2+ 2

x + 2 = 0

Then one of the polynomials is x + 2

Using the conjugate theorem:

if x = -1 + 2i, then -1-2i will be the root.

Then if x = -1+ 2i, then the factor of the function will be x- 1- 2i

Similarly, if x = -1-2i, then the factor x -(-1-2i)

This gives the final expression:

x^{4} -7x^{2} -26x-40

Triangle XYZ is reflected across the y-axis, and X = (4,-5). What are the coordinates of X’ ?
adelina 88 [10]
The correct answer is B.

You can come to this decision by picturing the initial point in your mind. Point X has a positive x-value and a negative y-value. This puts it in quadrant 2 on the coordinate plane. Now, if you flip that point over the y-axis, that makes its new location in quadrant three. In quadrant three, both the x and y coordinates are negative. So, the value wouldn’t change but both would become negatives.

I hope this helps. :)

What function corresponds to the ordered pairs shown in the table?
Anettt [7]

well, we know it's a line, and to get the equation of any line all we need is two points, let's pick two from the table hmmmm say let's use (-3 , -7) and (3 , 11)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{11}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{11}-\stackrel{y1}{(-7)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}}\implies \cfrac{11+7}{3+3}\implies \cfrac{18}{6}\implies 3

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-7)}=\stackrel{m}{3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y+7=3(x+3)\implies y+7=3x+9\implies y = 3x+2
