Answer:
Therefore the required polynomial is
M(x)=0.83(x³+4x²+16x+64)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that M is a polynomial of degree 3.
So, it has three zeros.
Let the polynomial be
M(x) =a(x-p)(x-q)(x-r)
The two zeros of the polynomial are -4 and 4i.
Since 4i is a complex number. Then the conjugate of 4i is also a zero of the polynomial i.e -4i.
Then,
M(x)= a{x-(-4)}(x-4i){x-(-4i)}
=a(x+4)(x-4i)(x+4i)
=a(x+4){x²-(4i)²} [ applying the formula (a+b)(a-b)=a²-b²]
=a(x+4)(x²-16i²)
=a(x+4)(x²+16) [∵i² = -1]
=a(x³+4x²+16x+64)
Again given that M(0)= 53.12 . Putting x=0 in the polynomial
53.12 =a(0+4.0+16.0+64)
=0.83
Therefore the required polynomial is
M(x)=0.83(x³+4x²+16x+64)
Answer:
B) y = x + 2 and y = -x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of a straight line with x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b' be
The line with positive slope has x-intercept a=-2 and y-intercept b=2.
Its equation is:
Multiply through by 2
Solve for y,
For the line with a negative slope,
the x-intercept is a=-4 and the y-intercept is b=-4
Its equation is
Multiply through by -4
Solve for y
