Given:
The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8.
Polynomial roots are 1 and 2.
The graph passes through the point (4,5).
To find:
The 3rd root and the equation of the polynomial.
Solution:
The factor form of a polynomial is:
Where, a is a constant and are the roots of the polynomial.
Polynomial roots are 1 and 2. So, and
are the factors of the polynomial.
Let the third root of the polynomial by c, then is a factor of the polynomial.
The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8. So, a=8 and the equation of the polynomial is:
The graph passes through the point (4,5). Putting , we get
Divide both sides by 48.
Therefore, the 3rd root on the polynomial is .
Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a root to a fraction in the exponent, remember this rule:
The index becomes the denominator in the fraction. (The index is the little number in front of the root, "n".) The original exponent remains in the numerator.
In this question, the index is 4.
The index is applied to every base in the equation under the root. The bases are 16, 'x' and 'y'.
To find the quad root of 16, input this into your calculator. Since 2⁴ = 16, = 2.
For the "x" and "y" bases, use the rule for converting roots to exponent fractions. The index, 4, becomes the denominator in each fraction.
