Answer:

1. a = -31/9

2. -3/4

3. Different degree polynomials

4. Yes, of a degree 2n

5. a. Even-degree variables

b. Odd- degree variables

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Suppose f(x) = x^4-2x^3+ax^2+x+3. If f(3) = 2, then what is a?

<u>Plugging in 3 for x:</u>

f(3)= 3^4 - 2*3^3 + a*3^2 + 3 + 3= 81 - 54 + 6 + 9a = 33 + 9a and f(3)= 2

  • 9a+33= 2
  • 9a= -31
  • a = -31/9

------------

2. Let f, g, and h be polynomials such that h(x) = f(x) * g(x). If the constant term of f(x) is -4 and the constant term of h(x) is 3, what is g(0)?

  • f(0)= -4, h(0)= 3, g(0) = ?
  • h(x)= f(x)*g(x)
  • g(x)= h(x)/f(x)
  • g(0) = h(0)/f(0) = 3/-4= -3/4
  • g(0)= -3/4

------------

3. Suppose the polynomials f and g are both monic polynomials. If the sum f(x) + g(x) is also monic, what can we deduce about the degrees of f and g?

  • <em>A monic polynomial is a single-variable polynomial in which the leading coefficient is equal to 1. </em>

If the sum of monic polynomials f(x) + g(x) is also monic, then f(x) and g(x) are of different degree and their sum only change the one with the lower degree, leaving the higher degree variable unchanged.

------------

4. If f(x) is a polynomial, is f(x^2) also a polynomial?

  • If f(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then f(x^2) is a polynomial of degree 2n

------------

5. Consider the polynomial function g(x) = x^4-3x^2+9

a. What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and f(-x) are the same polynomial?

  • If f(x) and f(-x) are same polynomials, then they have even-degree variables.

b.What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomial?

  • If f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomials, then they have odd-degree variables.

On the number line above, points J, K, L, and M are integers, and JK:KL:KM = 2:1:3. What is the value of KM? number line shown b
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

<h2>F. 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between A and M i.e JM = M - J = 5-(-19)

JM = 5+19

JM = 24

If JK:KL:KM = 2:1:3

The total ratio = 2+1+3

Total ratio = 6

Dividing each length based on ratio

length JK = 2/6 * JM

JK = 1/3 * 24

JK = 8

length KL = 1/6 * JM

KL = 1/6 * 24

KL = 4

length KM = 3/6 * JM

KM = 1/2 * 24

KM = 12

<em>Hence the value of KM is 12</em>

A catering company loses $110 as a result of delay. The 5 owners of the company must share the loss equally. Which integer repre
san4es73 [151]
What you have to do first is you have 5 owners correct? Well you take anything they're sharing in this case it's delay/debt, so you divide $110 by 5 and you should get $22. This means that each owner would have to pay $22 to the delay.
