Answer:

a) P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

b) P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

c) P (x) = (x-3) (x-1) (x-4) (x + 1) ^ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.

This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

Then write the polynomial in factored form.

P (x) = (x + 3) (x-1) (x-4)

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.

<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.

Degree: 3

Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.

The factors are

x = -\frac{5}{2}\\\\x +\frac{5}{2} = 0\\\\(2x +5) = 0

---------------------------------------

x =\frac{4}{5}\\\\x-\frac{4}{5} = 0\\\\(5x-4) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 6\\\\(x-6) = 0

--------------------------------------

P (x) = (2x + 5) (5x - 4) (x-6)

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>

Degree: 5

Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1

Multiplicity 2 in -1

x = -3\\\\(x-3) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 1\\\\(x-1) = 0

--------------------------------------

x = 4\\\\(x-4) = 0

----------------------------------------

x = -1\\\\(x + 1) = 0

-----------------------------------------

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

A rectangular prism that has a length of 8 feet, width of 6 feet, and height of 12 feet. What is the volume of the prism? ft3
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The volume of the prism is 576 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangular prism = 8 feet

Width of rectangular prism = 6 feet

Height of rectangular prism = 12 feet

Volume of rectangular prism = Length \times Breadth \times Height

Volume of rectangular prism =8 \times 6 \times 12

Volume of rectangular prism =576 feet^3

Hence the volume of the prism is 576 cubic feet

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6<br> PLEASE SHOW WORK, thank you
Dovator [93]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6

notice that the denominators consists of the numbers 3, 4 and 6 and that the lowest common multiple for all 3 numbers is 12, hence all these fractions can be expressed with a denominator of 12

i.e

1/3 = 4/12

1/4 = 3/12

1/6 = 2/12

hence,

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6

= 4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12

= (4+3+2) / 12

= 9/12  (simply)

= 3/4

select translation, reflection, or rotation to identify the single transformation that tranforms ∆jkl to ∆j'k'l'
Vesnalui [34]

Hello :)

The first one would be a rotation because it was easily rotated upward , it looks like it was rotated maybe 90°, The second one would be translation because it is simply moved upward and moved slightly to the right without be resized, rotated, or anything. The third one would definitely be a reflection because it appears to be flipped across the x axis. The fourth one i'm not really sure but i'm going to guess it is a rotation because it is turned in a different direction from the original figure.
