A polynomial is to he constructed that will touch the x axis at most 4 times. What is the minimum degree of the polynomial?

1 answer:

7 0

At most 4 times
hmm
where it touches is when y=0
so just have lots of zeroes
y=(x-r1) is a zero
so 4 zeroes is
y=(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)(x-r4)
if we expand it it is degree 4

minimum degree is 4th

If each point in the diagram can act as an endpoint, how many distinct line segments can be formed using the set of points

sdas [7]

Answer:

Option D 6 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

the given points are A, D, C and B. If each point in the diagram can act as end points, we have to calculate number of distinct line segments formed.

This ca be calculated in two ways.

(1) We will form the line segments

AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, DC

Therefore 6 segments can be formed.

(2) By combination method

Number of segments = $^{4}C_{2}$

= $\frac{4!}{2!2!}=\frac{4\times 3\times 2\times 1}{(2\times 1)\times (2\times 1)}$

= $\frac{4\times 3}{2\times 3}=\frac{12}{2}$

= 6

Option D 6 is the answer.
