Use synthetic substitution to evaluate the polynomial for the given value x = -3. P(x) = 2x2 + 7x - 1

1 answer:

7 0

I'm assuming that is 2x squared, and not 2 multiplied by 2, as a given question usually wouldn't come in such a silly format. I do wish people would start using (2x^2) or (2x²), though.

Just substitute the value of x (-3) in to the equation to find the value of y, or P(x).

2(-3)² + 7(-3) - 1 = -4

Arrange the entries of matrix A in increasing order of their cofactors values

givi [52]

To find the cofactor of

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&5&3\\-7&4&-1\\-8&2&1\end{array}\right]$

We cross out the Row and columns of the respective entries and find the determinant of the remaining $2\times 2$ matrix with the alternating signs.

$Ac_{11}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}4&-1\\2&1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{11}=4\times 1- -1\times 2$

$Ac_{11}=4+ 2$

$Ac_{11}=6$

$Ac_{12}=-\left|\begin{array}{ccc}-7&-1\\-8&1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{12}=-(-7\times 1- -1\times -8)$

$Ac_{12}=-(-7- 8)$

$Ac_{12}=15$

$Ac_{21}=-\left|\begin{array}{ccc}5&3\\2&1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{21}=-(5\times 1- 3\times 2)$

$Ac_{21}=-(5-6)$

$Ac_{21}=1$

$A_c{23}=-\left|\begin{array}{ccc}7&5\\-8&2\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{23}=-(7\times 2 -8\times 5)$

$Ac_{23}=-(14-40)$

$Ac_{23}=26$

$A_c{31}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}5&3\\4&-1\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{31}=5\times -1 -4\times 3$

$Ac_{31}=-5-12$

$Ac_{31}=-17$

$A_c{33}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}7&5\\-7&4\end{array}\right|$

$Ac_{33}=7\times 4- -7\times 5$

$Ac_{33}=28+35$

$Ac_{33}=63$

Therefore in increasing order, we have;

$Ac_{31}=-17,Ac_{21}=1,Ac_{11}=6,Ac_{23}=26,Ac_{12}=15, Ac_{33}=63$
