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.

Answer:

x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x - 2

g(x) = 2x + 1,

(f- g)(x) =  3x - 2  - ( 2x+1)

Distribute

            = 3x -2 -2x-1

Combine like terms

             x-3

Find the area of the parking space if the height is 18 feet and the base is 9 1/4 feet
Molodets [167]
Area= base x height
So, the base is 9 1/4 and the height is 18 feet
so, the Area= 9 1/4 x 18

9 1/4 x 18
= 166.5
