FACTOR. THEOREM is x-3 a factor?!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oduvanchick [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Yes, (x - 3) is a factor of P(x) and 3 is a zero or root of P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine whether or not (x - 3) is a factor by using synthetic division with +3 as the divisor.  The coefficients of the polynomial p(x) are {2  -5  -4  0  9}.

Setting up synthetic division:

3   /   2    -5    -4    0    9

                6     3    -3   -9

    -------------------------------

          2     1     -1     -3    0

Since the remainder is zero (0), we know that 3 is a root of the polynomial P(x) and that (x - 3) is a factor of said polynomial.

The midpoint of UV is (5, -10). The coordinates of one endpoint are U(3,6). Find the coordinates of endpoint V.
Grace [21]

The answer is (7, -26) for The second endpoint.  

We'll call the midpoint M. In order to find this, we must first note that to find a midpoint we need to take the average of the endpoints. To do this we add them together and then divide by 2. So, using that, we can write a formula and solve for each part of the k coordinates. We'll start with just x values.

(Ux + Vx)/2 = Mx

(Vx + 3)/2 = 5

Vx + 3 = 10

Vx = 7

And now we do the same thing for y values

(Uy + Vy)/2 = My

(Vy + 6)/2 = -10

Vy + 6 = -20

Vy = -26

This gives us the final point of (7, -26)
