Answer:

18x - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

12x +<u> 2 (3x - 7)</u> - 8

underlined section is indicating that you need to multipy

so 2 mulitiplied by 3x is 6x

and 2 multiplied by 7 is 14

your new expression should look like this: 12x + (6x -14) - 8

now to simplify the expression you combine like terms, so combine the integers, and combine the X numbers.

so 12x and 6x = 18x

and (-14) and (-8) comes out to (-22)

this is the final answer:

18x - 22

What is the minimum number of the data set shown on the box-and-whisker plot?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

Short answer: C. 9

Why?

Box and whisker plots are confusing, the line in the middle is the median, but we don't need to do that now. The dots on the lines outside of the box show the largest and the shortest number. The plotted point on the way left is your answer, the line plotted is 9.

Find a polynomial P(x) with real coefficients having a degree 4, leading coefficient 4, and zeros 3-i and 4i.

Alisiya [41]

now, this polynomial has roots of 3-i and 4i, namely 3 - i and 0 + 4i.

let's bear in mind that a complex root never comes all by her lonesome, her sibling is always with her, the conjugate, so if 3 - i is there, 3 + i is also coming along, likewise if 0 + 4i is there, her sibling 0 - 4i is also there.

$\bf \begin{cases} x=3-i\implies &x-3+i=0\\ x=3+i\implies &x-3-i=0\\ x=4i\implies &x-4i=0\\ x=-4i\implies &x+4i=0 \end{cases}\\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ (x-3+i)(x-3-i)(x-4i)(x+4i)=\stackrel{y}{0} \\[2em] \underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[(x-3)+i][(x-3)-i]}\underset{\textit{difference of squares}}{[x-4i][x+4i]}=0$

$\bf [(x-3)^2-i^2][x^2-(4i)^2]=y\implies [(x-3)^2-(-1)][x^2-(4^2i^2)]=0 \\[2em] [(x-3)^2-(-1)][x^2-(16(-1))]=0\implies [(x-3)^2+1][x^2+16]=0 \\[2em] [(x^2-6x+9)+1][x^2+16]=y\implies (x^2-6x+10)(x^2+16)=0 \\\\\\ x^4-6x^3+10x^2+16x^2-96x+160=0 \\\\\\ x^4-6x^3+26x^2-96x+160=0 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by 4}}{4(x^4-6x^3+26x^2-96x+160)=4(0)} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill 4x^4-24x^3+104x^2-384x+640=y~\hfill$
