Answer:

p(x) has a double root at x = -4, and

a single root at x = 6. So the polynomial

has the form p(x) = a(x + 4)^2(x - 6) = ax^3 + . . . - 96a

But since p(x) ---> ∞ as x ---> - ∞ and ---> -∞ as x ---> ∞,

a must be < 0. That, together with the fact that p(0) = 1,

means a = - 1 / 96. So, p(x) = (- 1 / 96)(x + 4)^2(x - 6)

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Proven

Step-by-step explanation:

We prove the polynomial with factorization. We must first simplify the expression before we can factorize:

$(4\cdot{x^2}-2)\cdot{(4\cdot{x^2}-2)}-16\cdot{x^4}$

$16\cdot{x^4}-8\cdot{x^2}-8\cdot{x^2}+4-16\cdot{x^4}$

$4-16\cdot{x^2}$

4 is the common number and we can take it out of the expression:

$4\cdot{(1-4\cdot{x^2})}$

We can factorize further with the x term being zero. For this to be true we must have -2x and 2x to cancel out and therefore the expression is proven:

$4\cdot{(1-2\cdot{x})}\cdot{(1+2\cdot{x})}$

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{3} \\ \frac{3}{8} = x \\ x = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{4}{3} \\ x = \frac{1}{2}$
