Find a degree 4 polynomial having zeros -8,-1,4 and 5 and the coefficient of x^4 equal 1.
1 answer:
Answer:
x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
Step-by-step explanation:
If <em>a</em> is a zero, then (<em>x-a</em>) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...
p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)
Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.
= (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)
We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.
= (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)
= x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160
p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
_____

Answer:
m = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= - 6
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
15m + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
15m = - 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )
m = - 1
Answer: 0.0001
It is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft accidents .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mean number of aircraft accidents = 9 per month
The Poisson distribution formula :-
, where
is the mean of the distribution.
If X = the number of aircraft accidents per month, then the probability that in a month, there will be no aircraft accidents will be :-
Hence, the probability that in a month, there will be no aircraft accidents = 0.0001
Since this is less than 0.5 , therefor it is unlikely to have a month with no aircraft accidents .
