What polynomial has roots of -6, 1, and 4 ​

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the roots of the polynomial are x = - 6, x = 1 and x = 4 the the factors are

(x + 6), (x - 1) and (x - 4)

The polynomial is the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = a(x - 1)(x - 4)(x + 6) ← a is a multiplier

let a = 1 and expand the first pair of factors

f(x) = (x² - 5x + 4)(x + 6)

     = x(x² - 5x + 4) + 6(x² - 5x + 4) ← distribute both parenthesis

     = x³ - 5x² + 4x + 6x² - 30x + 24 ← collect like terms

f(x) = x³ + x² - 26x + 24 → C

Answer:

x^3 + x^2 - 26x + 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing the roots we can immediately write it in factor form as follows:

f(x) = (x + 6)(x - 1)(x - 4).

Note that when  f(x) = 0 each of the factors can be zero and , for example, when  x + 6 = 0 then x = -6.

We now expand the  expression:

(x + 6)(x - 1)(x - 4)

= (x + 6)(x^2 - 4x - 1x + 4)

= (x + 6)(x^2 - 5x + 4)

= x(x^2 - 5x + 4) + 6(x^2 - 5x + 4)

= x^3 - 5x^2 + 4x + 6x^2 - 30x + 24    Adding like terms:

= x^3 + x^2 - 26x + 24.  (Answer).

Satellite dishes are shaped like parabolas to optimally revive signals. The cross section of a satellite dish can be modeled by
Anna11 [10]

The cross section of the satellite dish is an illustration of a quadratic function

The quadratic function that models the cross-section is y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

<h3>How to determie the equation of the cross-section?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Width = 6 feet

Depth = 1.5 feet

Express the width the sum of two equal numbers

Width = 3 + 3

The above means that, the equation of the cross section passes through the x-axis at:

x = -3 and 3

So, we have:

y = a(x - 3) * (x + 3)

Express as the difference of two squares

y = a(x^2 - 9)

The depth is 1.5.

This is represented as: (x,y) =(0,-1.5)

So, we have:

-1.5 = a(0^2 - 9)

Evaluate the exponent

-1.5 = -9a

Divide both sides by -9

a = 1/6

Substitute 1/6 for a in y = a(x^2 - 9)

y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

Hence, the quadratic function that models the cross-section is y = 1/6(x^2 - 9)

A container manufacturer plans to make rectangular boxes whose bottom and top measure x by 4x. The container must contain 12ft^3
zheka24 [161]

The height of the container should be equal to 2.57 cm, so as to minimize cost.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

First of all, we would determine the volume of the rectangular container by using this formula:

Volume = l × w × h

Where:

  • l represents the length.
  • w represents the width.
  • h represents the height.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Volume = x × 4x × h

Volume = 4x²h

At a volume of 12 ft³, we have:

12 = 4x²h

h = 12/4x²

h = 3/x²

For the total area of top and bottom, we have:

Area = (x × 4x) + (x × 4x)

Area = 4x² + 4x²

Area = 8x² sq. units.

Thus, the cost of top and bottom is given by:

Cost = 8x² × 1.50

Cost = $12x²

For the total area of all four sides, we have:

Area = (x × h) + (x × h) + (4x × h) + (4x × h)

Area = xh + xh + 4xh + 4xh

Area = 10xh sq. units.

Thus, the cost of all four sides is given by:

Cost = 10xh × 4.50

Cost = $45xh.

Also, the cost function would be given by:

C(x) = 12x² + 10xh

C(x) = 12x² + 10x(3/x²)

C(x) = 12x² + 30/x

Taking the first derivative, we have:

dC/dx = 24x - 30/x²

24x = 30/x²

24x³ = 30

x³ = 30/24

x = 1.08

Therefore, the height will be:

h = 3/x²

h = 3/1.08²

h = 3/1.1664

Height, h = 2.57 cm.
