Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ f(x)=(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5) \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, the Conjugate Roots Theorem states that if a complex number is a zero of real polynomial its conjugate is a zero too. It means that (x-4i)(x+4i) are factors of f(x).

\text{Meaning that } (x-4i)(x+4i) =x^2-(4i)^2=x^2+16 \text{ is a factor of f(x).}

The coefficient of the leading term is 1 and the constant term is -240 = 16 * (-15), so we a re looking for a real number such that.

f(x)=x^4-2x^3+x^2-32x-240\\\\ =(x^2+16)(x^2+ax-15)\\\\ =x^4+ax^3-15x^2+16x^2+16ax-240

We identify the coefficients for the like terms, it comes

a = -2 and 16a = -32 (which is equivalent). So, we can write in \mathbb{R}.

\\f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)

The sum of the zeroes is 2=5-3 and their product is -15=-3*5, so we can factorise by (x-5)(x+3), which gives.

f(x)=(x^2+16)(x^2-2x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\\\=(x^2+16)(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\\\=\boxed{(x^2+16)(x+3)(x-5)}

And we can write in \mathbb{C}

f(x)=\boxed{(x-4i)(x+4i)(x+3)(x-5)}

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Em quantos meses um capital de R$4.000,00 aplicado a uma taxa de juros simples de 29,3% ao ano, renderá de juros o valor de R$58
Akimi4 [234]

Responda:

6 meses

10 meses

Explicação passo a passo:

Dado que:

Principal = 4000

Juros = 586

Taxa (r) = 29,3% ao ano = 0,293

Juros simples = principal * taxa * tempo

586 = 4000 * 0,293 * t

586 = 1172t

t = 586/1172

t = 0,5 anos

Tempo = (0,5 * 12) = 6 meses

B.)

principal = $ 90909,09

Montante final = 100.000

Taxa (r) = 12% = 0,12

Usando a fórmula:

Quantidade final = p (1 + rt)

Taxa = r; t = tempo

100000 = 90909,09 (1 + 0,12t)

100000 = 90909,09 + 10909,0908t

100000 - 90909,09 = 10909,0908t

9090,91 = 10909,0908t

t = 9090,91 / 10909,0908

t = 0,8333334

Número de meses:

0,8333334 * 12

= 10 meses
