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.

Given B(-4,-6), under which reflection is B(4,-6)?
klio [65]
Well the one given is in the third quadrant and the other one, B(4,-6) is in the second quadrant. And it's reflected in the x-axis... Is that what you're looking for?

REALLY hope this helps :)

The rectangle in the following figure has a base that equals three times its height. Find an expression for the rectangle's peri
Tomtit [17]

Ok. Length = L, Base = B

P = 2L + 2B

We know that B = 3L or L = B/3

so that's P = 2/3B + 2B = 2/3B + 6/3B = 8/3B
