Answer:

Standard form: x^5-14x^4+83x^3-256x^2+406x-260

Factored form with complex numbers: (x-2)(x-(3+i))(x-(3-i))(x-(3-2i))(x-(3+2i))

Factored form without complex numbers: (x-2)(x^2-6x+10)(x^2-6x+13)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the polynomial has real coefficients and a+bi is a zero, then a-bi zero.

This means the following:

1) Since 3+i is a zero, then 3-i is a zero.

2) Since 3-2i is a zero, then 3+2i is a zero.

So we have the following zeros:

1) x=2

2) x=3+i

3) x=3-i

4) x=3-2i

5) x=3+2i

If x=c is a zero of the polynomial, then x-c is a factor of the polynomial.

This implies the following:

1) x=2 is a zero => x-2 is a factor

2) x=3+i is a zero => x-(3+i) is a factor

3) x=3-i is a zero => x-(3-i) is a factor

4) x=3-2i is a zero => x-(3-2i) is a factor

5) x=3+2i is a zero => x-(3+2i) is a factor

Let's put our factors together:

(x-2)(x-(3+i))(x-(3-i))(x-(3-2i))(x-(3+2i))

Let's find the standard form for this polynomial.

This will require us to multiply the above out and simplify by combining any like terms.

Before we begin this process, I would rather have a quick way to multiply the factors that contain the congregate pair zeros.

(x-(m+ni))(x-(m-ni))

I'm going to use foil.

First: x(x)=x^2

Outer: x(-(m-ni))=-(m-ni)x

Inner: -(m+ni)(x)=-(m+ni)x

Last: -(m+ni)(-(m-ni))=(m+ni)(m-ni)=m^2-n^2i^2=m^2-n^2(-1)=m^2+n^2

(Note: (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2; When multiplying conjugates, you just have to multiply the first terms of each and the last terms of each.)

------------------------------------Let's combine these terms:

x^2-(m-ni)x-(m+ni)x+m^2+n^2

Distribute:

x^2-mx+nix-mx-nix+m^2+n^2

Combine like terms:

x^2-2mx+m^2+n^2

So the formula we will be using on the factors that contain conjugate pair zeros is:

(x-(m+ni))(x-(m-ni))=x^2-2mx+m^2+n^2.

(x-(3+i))(x-(3-i))=x^2-2(3)x+3^2+1^2

(x-(3+i))(x-(3-i))=x^2-6x+9+1

(x-(3+i))(x-(3-i))=x^2-6x+10

(x-(3+2i))(x-(3-2i))=x^2-2(3)x+3^2+2^2

(x-(3+2i))(x-(3-2i))=x^2-6x+9+4

(x-(3+2i))(x-(3-2i))=x^2-6x+13

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

So this is what we have now:

(x-2)(x^2-6x+10)(x^2-6x+13)

I'm going to multiply the last two factors:

(x^2-6x+10)(x^2-6x+13)

What we are going to do is multiply the first term in the first ( ) to every term in the second ( ).

We are also going to do the same for the second term in the first ( ).

Then the third term in the first ( ).

x^2(x^2)=x^4

x^2(-6x)=-6x^3

x^2(13)=13x^2

-6x(x^2)=-6x^3

-6x(-6x)=36x^2

-6x(13)=-78x

10(x^2)=10x^2

10(-6x)=-60x

10(13)=130

--------------------------------Combine like terms:

x^4-12x^3+59x^2-138x+130

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

So now we have

(x-2)(x^4-12x^3+59x^2-138x+130

We are almost done.

We are going to multiply the first term in the first ( ) to every term in the second ( ).

We are going to multiply the second term in the first ( ) to every term in the second ( ).

x(x^4)=x^5

x(-12x^3)=-12x^4

x(59x^2)=59x^3

x(-138x)=-138x^2

x(130)=130x

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

-2(-12x^3)=24x^3

-2(59x^2)=-118x^2

-2(-138x)=276x

-2(130)=-260

----------------------------------------Combine like terms:

x^5-14x^4+83x^3-256x^2+406x-260

The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of 4 minutes and a stand
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator or chart to find the z-score.

P(Z > z) = 0.60

P(Z < z) = 0.40

z = -0.253

Find the time associated with the z-score.

z = (x − μ) / σ

-0.253 = (x − 4) / 3

x = 3.24

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their quotient is 5 <br> what are the two numbers
ELEN [110]
The numbers are "x" and "y";
Therefore, we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=24                         ⇒x=24-y
x/y=5

solve this problem by substitution method.
(24-y)/y=5
24-y=5y
-y-5y=-24
-6y=-24
y=-24/-6=4

x=24-y
x=24-4
x=20

Answer: the numer are: 20 and 4
