Answer:

We want a polynomial of smallest degree with rational coefficients with zeros in \sqrt{7}, 1 - \sqrt{6} and -3. The last root gives us the factor (x+3). Hence, our polynomial is

P(x) =(x+3)q(x)

where q is a polynomial with rational coefficients and roots \sqrt{7} and 1 - \sqrt{6}. The root \sqrt{7} gives us a factor x-\sqrt{7}, but in order to obtain rational coefficients we must consider the factor x^2-7.

An analogue idea works with 1 - \sqrt{6}. For convenience write  x - 1 + \sqrt{6} = ( x - 1) + \sqrt{6}. This gives the factor (x-1)^2-6. Hence,

P(x) = (x+3)(x^2-7)((x-1)^2-6)=x^5+x^4-18x^3-22x^2+77x+105

Notice that P(-1)=24. So, in order to satisfy the last condition we divide by 3 the whole polynomial, without altering its roots. Finally, the wanted polynomial is

P(x) =(1/3)x^5+(1/3)x^4-6x^3-(22/3)x^2+(77/3)x+35

Step-by-step explanation:

We must have present that any polynomial it's determined by its roots up to a constant factor. But here we have irrational ones, in order to eliminate the irrational coefficients that a factor of the type x-\sqrt7 will introduce in the expression, we need to multiply by its conjugate x+\sqrt7. Hence, we will obtain x^2-7 that have rational coefficients. Finally, the last condition is given with the intention to fix the constant factor. Usually it is enough to evaluate in the point and obtain the necessary factor.

Answer:

CI=P*(1 + R/100)^18

A=(CI + P) = P(1+R/100)^18

13500/P=1(100+R/100)^18

A/P=(100+R/100)^18

A/P=(100+R/100)^18

A=13500$        as (750 * 18)

(13500)/P=(1 +1.15/100)18

(13500)/P=(1+1.15/100)18

13500=((1.0115)^18

P=R$10989.02

Step-by-step explanation:

CI=Compound Interest

A=Amount

P=Principal.

What is the multiple zero and multiplicity of f(x) = (x − 3)(x − 3)(x + 5)? a. Multiple zero is 5; multiplicity is 1 b. Multiple
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

c. Multiple zero is 3; multiplicity is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor is repeated, that is, the factor  ( x  −  3 )  appears twice. The number of times a given factor appears in the factored form of the equation of a polynomial is called the multiplicity. The zero associated with this factor,  x  =  3 , has multiplicity 2 because the factor  ( x  −  3 )  occurs twice.

Then

Multiple zero is 3; multiplicity is 2.

What is the nth term rule of the linear sequence below? 15 , 7 , − 1 , − 9 , − 17 , . . .
Doss [256]

You can see that you're constantly subtracting 8 to get the next number. So, we have

a_1 = 15

a_2 = a_1-8

a_3 = a_2-8 = (a_1-8)-8=a_1-2\cdot 8

a_4=a_1-3\cdot 8

a_5=a_1-4\cdot 8

So, as you can see, to get the n-th term we must subtract (n-1) times 8 from the original number.
