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.

Which of the following number lines represents the compound inequality shown below?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

I'm not really sure what the question might be asking or if I've been given all the information but this is how you would solve it as (-2,4] meaning any real number between these will give you a real x on the domain.

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 < 3x + 2 \leqslant 14 \\  - 6 < 3x \leqslant 12 \\  - 2 < x \leqslant 4

Computers from a particular company are found to last on average for 24 months without any hardware malfunction with a standard
vodomira [7]

Answer:

At least 68% of observations lie between 22 and 26 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 24

Standard deviation = 2

22 = 24 - 2

22 is one standard deviation below the mean

26 = 24 + 2

26 is one standard deviation above the mean.

So, by the empirical rule, at least 68% of observations lie between 22 and 26 months.

Nimisha wants to draw a wheel like the one shown. Each shaded part of the wheel should be one-third of each unshaded part. What
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Each shade has a 22.5 degree angle from the middle

Each unshaded has a 67.5 degree angle from the middle.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by making each unshaded part equal to x and each shaded part equal 1/3x it is a circle so it has to equal 360 so you end up with:

x + 1/3x + x + 1/3x + x + 1/3x + x + 1/3x = 360

Combine Like terms:

16/3x = 360

Multiply both sides by the opposite:

(3/16) (16/3x) = (360) (3/16)

x=135/2 or x=67.5

Then you can plug 67.5 in for x:

1/3x ---> 1/3(67.5) = 22.5
