Write the polynomial of least degree with roots -2, 0, 1.

Mathematics

joja [24]3 years ago

So since -2, 0, 1 are the roots:

Therefore  x = -2,  x = 0 ,  x = 1

Implies that:

x = 2        x - 2 = 0

x = 0          x = 0

x = 1        x - 1 = 0


Therefore    (x - 2)x(x - 1) = 0

(x - 2)(x - 1) =   x(x - 1) - 2(x - 1) =  x² - x - 2x + 2 = x² - 3x + 2

(x - 2)x(x - 1) = 0

(x - 2)(x - 1)x = 0

(x² - 3x + 2)x = 0

x*x² - x*3x + x*2 = 0

x³ - 3x² + 2x = 0

This is the polynomial with the least degree, because it possible for another polynomial with higher power to still have the same root.

 x³ - 3x² + 2x = 0    is the polynomial.

I hope this helps.

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet? Use 3.14 for π.
RoseWind [281]
The angular velocity is defined by the position angle over time.
Get first the position angle of the pendulum which has the formula of s = rθ where s = arc length, r = radius (or length of the pendulum's string), and θ = position angle. Getting θ, we have <span>θ = s/r = 14.13 ft / 6 ft = 2.355 rad
Thus, the angular velocity is </span>θ/t where t = time; so 2.355 rad / 3 sec = 0.785 rad/sec
Hope this helps.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4 times 5 because there are 5 types in total and they make 4 of each type in each batch they bake. 4*5 is 20.

2. 20 times 10 because they make 10 batches and you know there are 20 in each batch. so 20 times 10 is 200.

200 is the answer.

Write an equation of the graph:
katrin [286]
1. To translate to the left, add to x. 
The equation is: y = |x + 2|

2. To translate down, add to y. 
The equation is: y + 2 = |x| OR y = |x| - 2 (subtract 2 from each side)

Hope this helps!
