Answer:
f(x) = + 2x³ - 4x² - 6x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that radical zeros occur in conjugate pairs, thus
- 1 + is a zero then - 1 -
is also a zero
is a zero then -
is also a zero
Thus the corresponding factors are
(x - (- 1 + ) ), (x - (- 1 -
) ), (x -
), (x - (-
)), that is
(x + 1 - ), (x + 1 +
), (x -
), (x +
)
The polynomial is then the product of the roots
f(x) = (x + 1 - )(x + 1 +
)(x -
)(x +
)
= ((x + 1)² - ()²)((x² - (
)²)
= (x² + 2x + 1 - 2)(x² - 3)
= (x² + 2x - 1)(x² - 3) ← distribute
= - 3x² + 2x³ - 6x - x² + 3
= + 2x³ - 4x² - 6x + 3
Answer:
- B. Quadrilateral FLAG is a parallelogram because opposite sides are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Refer to attached.</em>
Plot the point and connect in order FLAG.
<u>We see </u>
- FL ║ GA
- GF ║ AL
- FA and GL are not perpendicular
<u>All the above can be confirmed by calculating the slopes:</u>
- m(FL) = (3 - 5)/(6 - 1) = -2/5
- m(GA) = (1 + 1)/(-2-3) = -2/5
- These are same.
- m(GF) = (5 - 1)/(1 + 2) = 4/3
- m(AL) = (3 + 1)/(6 - 3) = 4/3
- These are same
- m(FA) = (-1 - 5)/(3 - 1) = -3
- m(GL) = (3 - 1)/(6 +2) = -1/4
- These are negative but not reciprocal
The quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Correct choice is B
