One such polynomial might be

(x-2)\left(x-\dfrac25\right)^2

Another with the same roots would be

(x-2)^2\left(x-\dfrac25\right)

Answer:  The answer is 5x^3-22x^2+28x-8 and 25x^3-70x^244x-8.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to write a polynomial of degree 3 whose only roots are 2 and \dfrac{2}{5}. Also, we need to find another polynomial of degree 3, if exists, that has the same roots.

The polynomial will be given by

p(x)=(x-2)(x-2)(x-\dfrac{2}{5})\\\\\Rightarrow 5p(x)=(x^2-4x+4)(5x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow P(x)=5x^3-20x^2+20x-2x^2+8x-8\\\\\Rightarrow P(x)=5x^3-22x^2+28x-8.

The other polynomial with same roots exist and is given by

q(x)=(x-2)(x-\dfrac{2}{5})(x-\dfrac{2}{5})\\\\\Rightarrow 25q(x)=(x-2)(5x-2)^2\\\\\Rightarrow Q(x)=(x-2)(25x^2-20x+4)\\\\\Rightarrow Q(x)=25x^3-20x^2+4x-50x^2+40x-8\\\\\Rightarrow Q(x)=25x^3-70x^244x-8.

Determine the point estimate of the population​ proportion, the margin of error for the following confidence​ interval, and the
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

point of estimate p = x/n

Step-by-step explanation:

p is the point estimate for the population , x is the number of success, n is the sample size.

p = Upper bound  + Lower bond/ 2      for population proportion

x = Upper bond + Lower bond /2          for population mean

E = Upper bond - Lower bond /2          E is margin of error

Jerry's pocket money of R135 to john's pocket money of R100. write it as a ratio​
Ymorist [56]
You need to simplify by dividing:

135:100
(Divide both sides by 5 ,as it’s the HCF(Highest Common Factor) )

27:20 ( Keep as whole numbers)


For every R27 Jerry gets , John gets R20.

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height14 cm is 88 cm2. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulae for Curved surface

area = πrh

Area = 88cm2

height = 14cm

radius = ?

Let π be 22/7

88 = 22/7 x r x 14

cross multiply

88 x 7 = 22 x 14 x r

616 = 308r

Divide both sides by 308

r = 2

Diameter = Radius x 2

so our radius is 2, 2 x 2 = 4
