Factor the polynomial function over the complex numbers?? F(x)= x^4 -x^3-2x-4

Answer: The factor form of the function F(x) is (x+1)(x-2)(x^2+2), where  (x^2+2) gives two complex roots.

Explanation:

The given function is,

F(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4

According to the rational root theorem 1 and -1 are the possible roots of each polynomial.

Put x=-1

F(-1)=(-1)^4-(-1)^3-2(-1)-4=0

Since the value of F(x) is 0 at x=-1 therefore the -1 is a root of given polynomial and (x+1) is a factor of F(x).

Use synthetic division method to divide the polynomial by (x+1).

The last row of the synthetic division shows the coefficient of remaining polynomial.

F(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4=(x+1)(x^3-2x^2+2x-4)

At x=2 the value of F(x) is 0, therefore (x-2) is a factor of F(x).

Use synthetic division method to divide the polynomial by (x-2).

F(x)=(x+1)(x-2)(x^2+2)

Therefore the roots of F(x) are,

-1,2,\pm i\sqrt{2}

F(x)=(x+1)(x-2)(x+i\sqrt{2})(x-i \sqrt{2} )

Where (x+1)(x-2) factors with real root and (x+i\sqrt{2})(x-i \sqrt{2} ) are factors with complex roots.

Find the value of n in the equation 6.2n – 3.7n = 85 + 45.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

D. 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 85 and 45 to get 130.

6.2n-3.7n=130

Subtract 3.7 from 6.2

2.5n=130

divide 130 by 2.5 to find n
