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).

the first term in a geometric series is 64 and the common ratio is 0.75. Find the sum of the first 4 terms in a series.
Rufina [12.5K]

hi

u0 = 64       with  u(n+1) = un *0.75  

u3 =  64 *0.75^3   = 27

sum is :      64 *  ( 0.75^4 -1)  / 0.75-1  = 175

manual proof :    64 + 48+36+27 = 175

Luanne made a photocopy of a drawing of a rectangle. The original drawing was 4.5 inches wide and 6 inches long. The copy was 6.

The scale factor is:
6,75/4,5 = 9/6 = 1,5

So you divide the corresponding lengths and the ratio you get is the scale factor. Hope it helps!
