As the Remainder Theorem points out, if you divide a polynomial p(x) by a factor x – a of that polynomial, then you will get a zero remainder. Let's look again at that Division Algorithm expression of the polynomial:

Advertisement

p(x) = (x – a)q(x) + r(x)

If x – a is indeed a factor of p(x), then the remainder after division by x – a will be zero. That is:

p(x) = (x – a)q(x)

In terms of the Remainder Theorem, this means that, if x – a is a factor of p(x), then the remainder, when we do synthetic division by

x = a, will be zero.

The point of the Factor Theorem is the reverse of the Remainder Theorem: If you synthetic-divide a polynomial by x = a and get a zero remainder, then, not only is x = a a zero of the polynomial (courtesy of the Remainder Theorem), but x – a is also a factor of the polynomial (courtesy of the Factor Theorem).

Just as with the Remainder Theorem, the point here is not to do the long division of a given polynomial by a given factor. This Theorem isn't repeating what you already know, but is instead trying to make your life simpler. When faced with a Factor Theorem exercise, you will apply synthetic division and then check for a zero remainder.

Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether x – 1 is a factor of

    f (x) = 2x4 + 3x2 – 5x + 7.

For x – 1 to be a factor of  f (x) = 2x4 + 3x2 – 5x + 7, the Factor Theorem says that x = 1 must be a zero of  f (x). To test whether x – 1 is a factor, I will first set x – 1 equal to zero and solve to find the proposed zero, x = 1. Then I will use synthetic division to divide f (x) by x = 1. Since there is no cubed term, I will be careful to remember to insert a "0" into the first line of the synthetic division to represent the omitted power of x in 2x4 + 3x2 – 5x + 7:

completed division: 2  2  5  0  7

Since the remainder is not zero, then the Factor Theorem says that:

x – 1 is not a factor of f (x).

Using the Factor Theorem, verify that x + 4 is a factor of

     f (x) = 5x4 + 16x3 – 15x2 + 8x + 16.

If x + 4 is a factor, then (setting this factor equal to zero and solving) x = –4 is a root. To do the required verification, I need to check that, when I use synthetic division on  f (x), with x = –4, I get a zero remainder:

completed division: 5  –4  1  4  0

The remainder is zero, so the Factor Theorem says that:

x + 4 is a factor of 5x4 + 16x3 – 15x2 + 8x + 16.

In practice, the Factor Theorem is used when factoring polynomials "completely". Rather than trying various factors by using long division, you will use synthetic division and the Factor Theorem. Any time you divide by a number (being a potential root of the polynomial) and get a zero remainder in the synthetic division, this means that the number is indeed a root, and thus "x minus the number" is a factor. Then you will continue the division with the resulting smaller polynomial, continuing until you arrive at a linear factor (so you've found all the factors) or a quadratic (to which you can apply the Quadratic Formula).

Using the fact that –2 and 1/3 are zeroes of  f (x) = 3x4 + 5x3 + x2 + 5x – 2, factor the polynomial completely.   Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2002-2011 All Rights Reserved

If x = –2 is a zero, then x + 2 = 0, so x + 2 is a factor. Similarly, if x = 1/3 is a zero, then x – 1/3 = 0, so x – 1/3 is a factor. By giving me two of the zeroes, they have also given me two factors: x + 2 and x – 1/3.

Since I started with a fourth-degree polynomial, then I'll be left with a quadratic once I divide out these two given factors. I can solve that quadratic by using the Quadratic Formula or some other method.

The Factor Theorem says that I don't have to do the long division with the known factors of x + 2 and x – 1/3. Instead, I can use synthetic division with the associated zeroes –2 and 1/3. Here is what I get when I do the first division with x = –2:

completed divison: bottom row:  3  –1  3  –1  0

The remainder is zero, which is expected because they'd told me at the start that –2 was a known zero of the polynomial. Rather than starting over again with the original polynomial, I'll now work on the remaining polynomial factor of 3x3 – x2 + 3x – 1 (from the bottom line of the synthetic division). I will divide this by the other given zero, x = 1/3:

completed division:  bottom row:  3  0  3  0

 

3x2 + 3 = 0

3(x2 + 1) = 0

x2 + 1 = 0

x2 = –1

x = ± i

If the zeroes are x = –i and x = i, then the factors are x – (–i) and x – (i), or x + i and x – i. I need to   divided off a "3" when I solved the quadratic; it is still part of the polynomial, and needs to be included as a factor. Then the fully-factored form is:

3x4 + 5x3 + x2 + 5x – 2 = 3(x + 2)(x – 1/3)(x + i)(x – i)

Answer:

144 cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Find the true length of each side</u>

We know that the perimeter is 56cm and the ratio of AD:AB:DC:BC is 5:12:6:5. It is safe to assume that this ratio is the simplified version, which means that if we multiply each of these numbers by a scale factor of x, then we get the true length of each side, so we would get 5x, 12x, 6x, 5x for the sides. We also know that when we add these numbers, we get the perimeter, which is 56. So, we can create the equation 5x + 12x + 6x + 5x = 56. Then, solve the equation for x, which would be 2, and go back and multiply each number with 2 to get the following:

AD = 5*2 = 10cm, AB = 12*2 = 24cm, DC = 6*2 = 12cm, BC = 5*2 = 10cm  

<u>Step 2: Calculate the Height</u>

Now we know the lengths of each side, lets take a look at the formula for the area of a trapezium: \frac{base_{1}  + base_2}{2}*height. So, the next step would be to calculate the height. We can draw the height by drawing a line straight down from the vertex D and another straight down from the vertex C. These lines are both the height, and will be the exact same length. We can calculate that the height is 8 because AB is 24 cm, but the length from the height at vertex D to the height at vertex C is 12 cm, so that means that the base of each triangle is 12/2 = 6 cm. Then we can use Pythagorean theorem to figure out that the height is 8cm.

<u>Step 3: Calculate the Area</u>

Lastly, we can calculate the area. The formula is \frac{base_{1}  + base_2}{2}*height. In this case, the numbers would be \frac{12 + 24}{2} * 8 = 144cm^{2}

I know this is a lot, so let me know if you have any questions!

Five surf shops sell the same pair of flip-flops for the following prices: $17.00, $15.50, $15.00, $18.00, $15.00. Find the mean
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Mean: $16.1

Median: $15.00

Mode:$15.00

The mode best describes the data, so the mean is the better measure of variability.

Step-by-step explanation:

How to find the mean:

Add up each value on the data set, then divide it by the number of values on the data set. (Example: $17.00 + $15.50+$15.00+$18.00+$15.00= 80.5/5=16.1)

How to find the median: Order your values from least to greatest, then find the value in the center.

How to find mode: Look for the most frequent value in the data set. What value shows up the most?

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (3, 0)?
olga2289 [7]

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

Let

A(-3,2)\ B(2,-1)

slope mAB is equal to

mAB=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)} \\ \\ mAB=\frac{(-1-2)}{(2+3)} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5}

Step 2

<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>

Let

CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

so

mAB*mCD=-1\\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5} \\ mCD=-\frac{1}{mAB} \\ mCD=\frac{5}{3}

Step 3

<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>

we know that

the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)\\\\ y-0=\frac{5}{3} *(x-3)\\\\ y=\frac{5}{3} x-5

Multiply by 3 both sides

3y=5x-15

5x-3y=15

therefore

the answer is

the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation 5x-3y=15
