I can’t figure out how to use the zeros in the polynomial. Please explain

Temka [501]

Answer:

a) $P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)$

b) $P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)$

c) $P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

$P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)$

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

$x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0$

---------------------------------------

$x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)$

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

$x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0$

--------------------------------------

$x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0$

----------------------------------------

$x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0$

-----------------------------------------

$P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2$

For f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=(x^2)-6, find (f+g)(x).

Anon25 [30]

$f(x)=3x+1;\ g(x)=x^2-6\\\\(f+g)(x)=(3x+1)+(x^266)=3x+1+x^2-6=x^2+3x+(1-6)\\\\=\boxed{x^2+3x-5}$

I suspect you may have slipped up as you copied the question. Exactly as you wrote it, it has a single zero, at x= 2 .

Answer:

The area of the copper circle is <u>31.4 inches</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An artist used silver wire to make a square that has a perimeter of 40 inches.

She then used copper wire to make the largest circle that could fit in the square, with perimeter of 40 inches.

Use 3.14 to represent π.

Now, to find the area of the copper circle.

Perimeter of square = 40 inches.

So, we get the side of square by putting formula:

$Perimeter=4\times side$

$40=4\times side$

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

$10=side.$

$Side=10\ inches.$

Now, as the side of square is 10 inches it is the diameter of the circle as the square is fit inside the circle:

For getting the area of circle we find the radius:

Radius (r) = $\frac{Diameter}{2} \\=\frac{10}{2}= 5\ inches.$

Now, putting the formula to get the area of the circle:

$Area=2\times \pi \times r$

$Area=2\times 3.14\times 5$

$Area=31.4\ inches.$

Therefore, the area of the copper circle is 31.4 inches.
