Answer

(x - 4)

Step by step explanation

To find the factors, plug in the x values in the given equation and see which value of x makes the equation equal to zero.

Here (x - 4) is a factor.

Therefore, x = 4

when we plug in x = 4 in the given expression, we get zero.

Let's check it out.

3(4)^3 + 8 (4)^2 - 87(4) + 28

192 + 128 - 348 + 28

348 - 348

The answer is (x - 4)

Thank you.

Convert the Cartesian equation (x 2 + y 2)2 = 4(x 2 - y 2) to a polar equation.

SashulF [63]

<u>ANSWER</u>

${r}^{2} = 4 \cos2\theta$

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The Cartesian equation is

${( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} )}^{2} = 4( {x}^{2} - {y}^{2} )$

We substitute

$x = r \cos( \theta)$

$y = r \sin( \theta)$

and

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

This implies that

${( {r}^{2} )}^{2} = 4(( { r \cos\theta) }^{2} - {(r \sin\theta) }^{2} )$

Let us evaluate the exponents to get:

${r}^{4} = 4({ {r}^{2} \cos^{2}\theta } - {r}^{2} \sin^{2}\theta)$

Factor the RHS to get:

${r}^{4} = 4{r}^{2} ({ \cos^{2}\theta } - \sin^{2}\theta)$

Divide through by r²

${r}^{2} = 4 ({ \cos^{2}\theta } - \sin^{2}\theta)$

Apply the double angle identity

$\cos^{2}\theta -\sin^{2}\theta= \cos(2 \theta)$

The polar equation then becomes:

${r}^{2} = 4 \cos2\theta$
