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

What’s the slope intercept form of (2,5) and (0,1)
Travka [436]

Answer:

y=2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slope:

5-1/2 so 4/2 or 2

Then you write it in point-slope: (I used the point (0,1))

y-1=2x

Simplify than:

y=2x+1

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.
devlian [24]

Answer:

x = 2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 45-45-90 triangle. This means that if the legs are x, then the hypotenuse is x√2.

In the case, the hypotenuse is already 4. So we have the equation:

x√2 = 4

Multiply both sides by √2

2x = 4√2

Divide both sides by 2

x = 2√2
