Given expression: (x - 4)^8.

Angelina wrote : (x^2 - 4^2)^2(x^2 + 4^2).

Let us multipl(x^2 - 4^2)^2(x^2 + 4^2)=\left(x^2-16\right)^2\left(x^2+16\right)

\mathrm{Apply\:Perfect\:Square\:Formula}:\quad \left(a-b\right)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

=\left(x^2\right)^2-2x^2\cdot \:16+16^2

\:\left(x^2\right)^2-2x^2\cdot \:16+16^2:\quad x^4-32x^2+256

=(x^4-32x^2+256)(\left x^2+16\right)

\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses}

=x^4x^2+x^4\cdot \:16+\left(-32x^2\right)x^2+\left(-32x^2\right)\cdot \:16+256x^2+256\cdot \:16

=x^6-16x^4-256x^2+4096

<h3>We can see that first term is x^6.</h3><h3>But for  (x - 4)^8 expression, first term should be x^8.</h3><h3>So, we could say that Angela’s solution is incorrect.</h3>

Angela's solution is incorrect b/c when multiplied you get a completely different answer then the one she had.

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

if alpha and beta are zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = x2-x-2 then find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2alpha + 1 and 2b
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, as alpha and beta are zeroes of

x^2-x-2

it means that their sum is alpha+beta=1 and their product alpha*beta=-2.

The polynomial whose zeroes are 2 alpha + 1 and 2 beta + 1, means that the sum of its zeroes is 2(alpha+beta)+2=2+2=4

and the product is (2alpha+1)(2beta+1)=4 alpha*beta + 2(alpha+beta) + 1 = 4 * (-2) + 2*(1) +1 = -8 + 2 + 1 = -5. so one of these polynomials is

\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \  \ x^2-4x-5 \ \ }

Thank you.
