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.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

(A)\frac 1 {cosx} \frac 1 {sin x}  - \frac {cosx} {sin x} = \frac {sin x} {cosx} \\\\(B)\frac{1-cos^2 x }{cos x sin x} = \frac {sin x} {cosx} \\\\(C) \frac{(sin^2x + cos^2x)-cos^2 x }{cos x sin x} = \frac {sin x} {cosx} \\\\(D) \frac{sin^2x }{cos x sin x} = \frac {sin x} {cosx}\\\\(E)\frac {sin x}{cos x} = \frac {sin x}{cos x}

In step A, you replace all trigonometric functions with their definitions in terms of sine and cosine.

In step B, you add the two together as you add fractions.

In step C, you replace 1 with the sum of the squares of sine and cosine.
In step D, you add the cosine terms together so they disappear.

In step E, finally, you divide numerator and denominator by sin x.

Can somebody please help me with this question?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

120, 114, 126

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are all exterior angles, they will all always add up to 360°. Since we know this, you can set up an equation and it would be x+(x+6)+114=360. When added you get 2x+120=360. Now subtract 120 on each side to get 2x equals 240. Then you divide by 2 and get that x is 120. Now all you have to do is plug x into the equations for the angles so they would be 120, 114, and 120+6 so 126. Now you have 120,114,and 126 as your angles. To check, just add all the angle measurements up and it should equal 360.
