Answer:

f(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 7x^2 + x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, always share the instructions with every question you post.  I am assuming that you are to write out the factors corresponding to the given roots, thus constructing a 4th degree polynomial, and then performng the multiplication necesssary to produce that polynomial with terms in descending order by power of x.  Note that there must be 5 such terms.

f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 3)

Multiplying this out, we get:  

f(x) = (x + 2)(x^2 - 1)(x - 3), or

f(x) =      (x^3 - x + 2x^2 - 2)(x - 3), or:

f(x) = (x^3 + 2x^2 - x - 2)(x - 3), or:

f(x) = x^4 + 2x^3 - x^2 - 2x - 3x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x + 6

Combining like terms, we get:

f(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 7x^2 + x + 6

Note that because this is a 4th degree polynomial, the end behavior resembles that of the graph of y = x^4.  As x increases, y initially decreases in Quadrant II, passes through the y-intercept (0, 6), and then increases without bound in Quadrant I.

What is the solution of the proportion? 6/a = 18/27
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

A.) it has no reflectional symmetry
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

D.) It has rotational symmetry with an angle of rotation of 90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the shape shown in the figure has reflectional symmetry with four lines of symmetry. There are four lines of symmetry such that each line when drawn divides the shape into two exact halves such that if each half were too be folded across the line of symmetry it would produce the other half exactly.

Therefore Option A.) and Option B.) are not true

ii) It has  point symmetry which means if the shape is rotated by 180 degrees the shape does not change. Therefore Option C.) is not true.

iii) the shape has rotational symmetry because if the shape is rotated though any between 0 degrees and 360 degrees the shape appears to be unchanged.

Therefore the correct options are

D.) It has rotational symmetry with an angle of rotation of 90 degrees.
