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.

Find the inverse of y=5x+3
seraphim [82]

Answer:

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation making x the subject

y = 5x + 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y - 3 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

\frac{y-3}{5} = x

Change y to x then

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-3}{5}

Can you please explain how to do the above completing the ratio tables. Thank you in advance for your help
Stells [14]

Ratio tables show equivalent ratios between two quantities. You can create a ratio table by multiplying (or dividing) both quantities in the ratio by the same value to find an equivalent ratio.

Subtract these polynomials.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

B.   -2x2 + 6x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x2 + 4x + 3) - (4x2 - 2x-3)   Distribute negative over the parentheses:

= 2x2 + 4x + 3 - 4x2 + 2x + 3

= 2x2 - 4x2 + 4x + 2x + 3 + 3

=  -2x2 + 6x + 6.
