Show that 2x +1 is a factor of 2x3 +5x2+4x+1 and factories completely

larisa [96]

$\text{According to the factor theorem, if f(b) = 0, then x-b is a factor of f(x).}\\\\\text{Given that,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\f\left(-\dfrac 12 \right) = 2\left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^3 +5 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right)^2 +4 \left( - \dfrac 12 \right) +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=-2 \cdot \dfrac 18 + 5 \cdot \dfrac 14 -2 +1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 54 -\dfrac14 -1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac 44 -1 \\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=1-1\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~=0\\\\\text{So,}~ 2x +1 ~ \text{is a factor of f(x).}$

$\text{Now,}\\\\f(x) = 2x^3 +5x^2 +4x +1 \\\\~~~~~~=2x^3+x^2 +2x^2 +2x +2x+1\\\\~~~~~~=x^2(2x+1) +2x(2x+1) + (2x+1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x^2 +2x +1)\\\\~~~~~~=(2x+1)(x+1)^2$

A boutique prices merchandise by adding 80% to its cost. It later decreases by 25% the price of items that do not sell quickly

Darya [45]

A. Write a function f(x) to represent the price after the 80% markup.
b. Write a function g(x) to represent the price after the 25% markdown. 
c. Use a composition function to find the price of an item after both price adjustments that originally costs the boutique $150. 
d. Does the order in which the adjustments are applied make a difference? Explain.

answers

a) f(x) = 1.8x

b) f(x) = 0.75(1.8x)

c) f(150) = 0.75(1.8(150) = $202.50

d) No, it doesn't matter. The result is the same.
