Answer:

i) Since P(2), P(-1) and P(½) gives 0, then it's true that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial.

ii) - the sum of the zeros and the corresponding coefficients are the same

-the Sum of the products of roots where 2 are taken at the same time is same as the corresponding coefficient.

-the product of the zeros of the polynomial is same as the corresponding coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the cubic polynomial;

p(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 3x + 2

For us to verify that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial, we will plug them into the equation and they must give a value of zero.

Thus;

P(2) = 2(2)³ - 3(2)² - 3(2) + 2 = 16 - 12 - 6 + 2 = 0

P(-1) = 2(-1)³ - 3(-1)² - 3(-1) + 2 = -2 - 3 + 3 + 2 = 0

P(½) = 2(½)³ - 3(½)² - 3(½) + 2 = ¼ - ¾ - 3/2 + 2 = -½ + ½ = 0

Since, P(2), P(-1) and P(½) gives 0,then it's true that 2,-1 and 1⁄2 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial.

Now, let's verify the relationship between the zeros and the coefficients.

Let the zeros be as follows;

α = 2

β = -1

γ = ½

The coefficients are;

a = 2

b = -3

c = -3

d = 2

So, the relationships are;

α + β + γ = -b/a

αβ + βγ + γα = c/a

αβγ = -d/a

Thus,

First relationship α + β + γ = -b/a gives;

2 - 1 + ½ = -(-3/2)

1½ = 3/2

3/2 = 3/2

LHS = RHS; So, the sum of the zeros and the coefficients are the same

For the second relationship, αβ + βγ + γα = c/a it gives;

2(-1) + (-1)(½) + (½)(2) = -3/2

-2 - 1½ + 1 = -3/2

-1½ - 1½ = -3/2

-3/2 = - 3/2

LHS = RHS, so the Sum of the products of roots where 2 are taken at the same time is same as the coefficient

For the third relationship, αβγ = -d/a gives;

2 * -1 * ½ = -2/2

-1 = - 1

LHS = RHS, so the product of the zeros(roots) is same as the corresponding coefficient

a model plane has a scale of 1 in: 2 ft. if the real plane is 12 ft tall then how tall is the model plane.
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

6ft tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Given we know that the scale is 1 in 2ft.

Using this information we know we could divide 12/2=6. We also know that we could multiply 2×6=12. Therefore, we know that the model plane is 6ft tall.

I hope this helps!
