If a polynomial function f(x) has roots -8, 1, and 6i, what must also be a root of f(x)?

Answer:

it must also have the root : - 6i

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial is expressed with real coefficients (which must be the case if it is a function f(x) in the Real coordinate system), then if it has a complex root "a+bi", it must also have for root the conjugate of that complex root.

This is because in order to render a polynomial with Real coefficients, the binomial factor  (x - (a+bi)) originated using the complex root would be able to eliminate the imaginary unit, only when multiplied by the binomial factor generated by its conjugate: (x - (a-bi)). This is shown below:

(x-(a+bi))*(x-(a-bi))=\\(x-a-bi)*(x-a+bi)=\\([x-a]-bi)*([x-a]+bi)=\\(x-a)^2-(bi)^2=\\(x-a)^2-b^2(-1)=\\(x-a)^2+b^2

where the imaginary unit has disappeared, making the expression real.

So in our case, a+bi is -6i (real part a=0, and imaginary part b=-6)

Then, the conjugate of this root would be: +6i, giving us the other complex root that also may be present in the real polynomial we are dealing with.

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions to follow.<br><br> Find a, b and c
Feliz [49]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Using trigonometric ratio, find b:

Reference angle = 45

opposite = 8

Hypotenuse = b

Thus,

Sin(45) = 8/b

b = 8/sin(45)

b = 8/(1/√2) (sin 45 = 1/√2)

b = 8 × √2/1

b = 8√2

✔️Find a using trigonometric ratio:

Reference angle = 60°

Hypotenuse = b = 8√2

Adjacent = a

Therefore,

Cos(60) = a/8√2

8√2*cos(60) = a

8√2*½ = a

4√2 = a

a = 4√2

✔️Find c using Pythagorean Theorem:

c² = b² - a²

c² = (8√2)² - (4√2)²

c² = 128 - 32

c² = 96

c = √96

c = √(16*6)

c = 4√6

An element with mass 330 grams decays by 25. 5% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 5 minutes, to the nearest
yaroslaw [1]

The amount of mass after 5 minutes is 75.74 grams.

It is given that

The amount initially = 330grams

After every minute mass decays by 25.5%

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

The percentage is the value per hundred.

Amount after 1 min = 330-330*25.5/100 = 245.85grams

Amount after 2 min = 245.85-245.85*25.5/100 = 183.16grams

Amount after 3min = 183.16-183.16*25.5/100 = 136.45grams

Amount after 4 min = 136.45-136.45*25.5/100= 101.66grams

Amount after 5 min =101.66-101.66*25.5/100 = 75.74grams

Therefore, the amount of mass after 5 minutes is 75.74 grams.
