Which binomial is a factor of x4 − 4x2 − 4x 8?

The given polynomial is

x^4-4x^2-4x-8

As this is a fourth degree polynomial, we can not directly use any formula, So here we will use hit and trial method

check whether x=-1 is a zero of the polynomial or not

(-1)^4-4(-1)^2-4(-1)-8=-7

Hence x=-1 is not a zero.

Now check whether x=-2 is a zero of the polynomial or not

(-2)^4-4(-2)^2-4(-2)-8=0

Hence x=-2 is a zero of the polynomial.

Hence we can re-write the polynomial as

x^4-4x^2-4x-8=x^4+2x^3-2x^3-4x^2-4x-8\\ \\ =x^3(x+2)-2x^2(x+2)-4(x+2)\\ \\ =(x+2)(x^3-2x^2-4)\\

Hence the required binomial is (x+2)

Help please! I already know the answer isn't -2, -1 so I need help figuring out the rest!
Lelu [443]

the function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1

when x = 0, y = 2

when x = 1, y = 8

this shows an increase of +6, so we know this statement is true

we can see the rest are false simply because they state a decrease when there is an increase. this question is only confusing because we ask you about the increase and decrease in the function, when really its the same thing as asking about an increase or decrease in the y variable.

in other words, all youre looking for is the variation of the value of the y variable that is attached to the specific x variables.

hope this helps!!

What is the value of
Katen [24]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3/4 has a different denominator then 1/8 we can multiply 3/4 by 2 to get 6/8 which has the same denominator. Now we just divide the numerators and denominators by each other to get 6.
