Find an expression for a cubic function f if f(4) = 96 and f(-4) = f(0) = f(5) = 0. Part 1 of 4 A cubic function generally has t

he form f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d. If we know that for some x-value x = p we have f(p) = 0, then it must be true that x − p is a factor of f(x). Since we are told that f(5) = 0, we know that x-5 Correct: Your answer is correct. seenKey x-5 is a factor. Part 2 of 4 Similarly, since f(−4) = 0, then f(x) has the factor x+4 Correct: Your answer is correct. seenKey x+4 , and since f(0) = 0, then f(x) has the factor x Correct: Your answer is correct. seenKey x .

Given a polynomial p(x) and a point x_0, we have that

p(x_0) = 0 \iff (x-x_0) \text{\ divides\ } p(x)

We know that our cubic function is zero at -4, 0 and 5, which means that our polynomial is a multiple of

(x+4)(x)(x-5) = x(x+4)(x-5)

Since this is already a cubic polynomial (it's the product of 3 polynomials with degree one), we can only adjust a multiplicative factor: our function must be

f(x) = ax(x+4)(x-5),\quad a \in \mathbb{R}

To fix the correct value for a, we impose f(4)=96:

f(4) = 4a(4+4)(4-5) = -32a = 96

And so we must impose

-32a=96 \iff a = -\dfrac{96}{32} = -3

So, the function we're looking for is

f(x) = -3x(x+4)(x-5)=-3x^3+3x^2+60x

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that During their last game, the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times, for a total score of 30 points. They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

We need to write and solve the system of equations to find the total touchdowns and field goals scored.

Let x represents the number of touchdowns.

Let y be the number of field goals.

It is given that the Miami Dolphins scored 6 times

x+y=6

x=6-y....(1)

They scored 7 points for each touchdown and 3 points for each field goal.

The total score is 30 points:

7x+3y=30 ...(2)

Put the value of x from equation (1) into equation (2).

7( 6-y)+3y=30

42-7y+3y=30

-4y=30-42

-4y=-12

y=3

Put y = 3 in equation 1.

x=6-3

x=3

Hence, the Miami Dolphins had 3 touchdowns and 3 field goals.

5x - (x + 3)= 1/3 (9x + 18) - 5
telo118 [61]
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6

3x+6-5

Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3

5x-x-3 = 4x-3

4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1

x=4
