If 2 + 5i is a zero, then by the complex conjugate root theorem, we must have its conjugate as a zero to have a polynomial containing real coefficients. Therefore, the zeros are -3, 2 + 5i, and 2 - 5i. We have three zeros so this is a degree 3 polynomial (n = 3).
f(x) has the equation
f(x) = (x+3)(x - (2 + 5i))(x - (2 - 5i))
If we expand this polynomial out, we get the simplest standard form
f(x) = x^3-x^2+17x+87
Therefore the answer to this question is f(x) = x^3-x^2+17x+87
Answer:
7n²
Step-by-step explanation:
7/n² - 8/7n
Least common multiple will be the least common denominator
L.C.M = 7n²
Dividing the L.C.M by denominators and multiplying with numerators;
((7×7) - (n×8))/7n²
= (49 - 8n)/7n²
7n² is the least common denominator
Is the same as the one you just did.
keep in mind that, going against the current, the current's speed erodes speed from your regular speed, whilst if you're going with the current, the current's speed adds to it.
now, in this case, you row 5mph, going upstream you're only doing 3mph, whatever happened to the other 2mph? well, the current speed eroded them, meaning the speed of the river is 2mph.
now, going downstream with the current, your regular speed is 5mph, and the current is 2mph, since the current adds to yours, then you're going 5 + 2, mph.
