The polynomial of degree 4, P ( x ) has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 4 and roots of multiplicity 1 at x = 0 and x = − 1 . It

goes through the point ( 5 , 9 ) . Find a formula for P ( x ) .

To have roots as described, that means we have the following factors: From multiplicity 2 at x=1 has (x-1)^2 as its factor From multiplicity 1 at x=0 has x as a factor From multiplicity 1 at x = -4 has a factor of x+4 Putting these together we get that P(x) = A (x) (x+4) (x-1)^2 Multiply these out and find P(x) = A (x^2 + 4x) (x^2 - 2x + 1) A ( x^4 - 2x^3 + x^2 + 4x^3 - 8x^2 + 4x ) Combine like terms and find P(x) = A (x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 4x) To find A, we use the point they gave us (5, 72) P(5) = A [ (5)^4 + 2(5)^3 - 7(5)^2 + 4(5) ] = 72 A [ 625 + 250 - 175 + 20 ] = 72 A [ 720 ] = 72 Divide both sides by 720 and find that A = 0.1 Final answer: P(x) = 0.1 ( x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 4x) or P(x) = 0.1 x^4 + 0.2 x^3 - 0.7x^2 + 0.4x

PLEASE HELP! I HAVE A TIME CRUNCH! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! LOVE Y'ALL Fill in each * so that the statement is true.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

a, (x^2)^3 = x^6 = x^2.x^4

b, x^5·x^7 = x^12 = (x^3)^4

c, x^4·x^22 = x^26 = (x^2)^13

d, (x^2)^8 = x^16 = x^2.x^14

e, x^10/x^3 = x^7 = x^20.x^(-13)

f, x^(-3) = x^4.x^(-7)

g, 1/x^(-3) = x^3 = x^4.x^(-1)

Hope this helps!

Emilio throws a marshmallow into the air from his balcony. The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equatio
irinina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the marshmallow (in feet) is represented by the equation h=−16t2+8t+48,

where t is the time (in seconds) after he throws the marshmallow.

The equation is a quadratic equation. When the marshmallow hits the ground, its height from the ground will be zero. Therefore

−16t^2+8t+48 = 0

- 2t^2 + t + 6 = 0

Multiplying through by the negative sign. It becomes

2t^2 - t - 6 = 0

2t^2 + 3t - 4t - 6 = 0

t(2t + 3) - 2(2t + 3) = 0

(t - 2)(2t + 3) = 0

t - 2 = 0 or 2t + 3 = 0

t = 2 or t = - 3/2

The time cannot be negative

So it will take 2 seconds to hit the ground

Which is the graph inequality x-2y_>-12
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The graph for x-2y>=-12 needs to get y aloneso add 2y to both sides to getx >=-12 +2ythen add 12 to both sides of the in equalityx+12 >=2ynext divide each term by 2x/2 + 6 >= yy<= x/2 + 6so the graph connects (0,6) and (2,7) and shade below the solid line
