Obtain the zeroes of polynomial
1 answer:
I assume you meant to say
Given that <em>x</em> = √3 and <em>x</em> = -√3 are roots of <em>f(x)</em>, this means that both <em>x</em> - √3 and <em>x</em> + √3, and hence their product <em>x</em> ² - 3, divides <em>f(x)</em> exactly and leaves no remainder.
Carry out the division:
To compute the quotient:
* 2<em>x</em> ⁴ = 2<em>x</em> ² • <em>x</em> ², and 2<em>x</em> ² (<em>x</em> ² - 3) = 2<em>x</em> ⁴ - 6<em>x</em> ²
Subtract this from the numerator to get a first remainder of
(2<em>x</em> ⁴ + 3<em>x</em> ³ - 5<em>x</em> ² - 9<em>x</em> - 3) - (2<em>x</em> ⁴ - 6<em>x</em> ²) = 3<em>x</em> ³ + <em>x</em> ² - 9<em>x</em> - 3
* 3<em>x</em> ³ = 3<em>x</em> • <em>x</em> ², and 3<em>x</em> (<em>x</em> ² - 3) = 3<em>x</em> ³ - 9<em>x</em>
Subtract this from the remainder to get a new remainder of
(3<em>x</em> ³ + <em>x</em> ² - 9<em>x</em> - 3) - (3<em>x</em> ³ - 9<em>x</em>) = <em>x</em> ² - 3
This last remainder is exactly divisible by <em>x</em> ² - 3, so we're left with 1. Putting everything together gives us the quotient,
2<em>x </em>² + 3<em>x</em> + 1
Factoring this result is easy:
2<em>x</em> ² + 3<em>x</em> + 1 = (2<em>x</em> + 1) (<em>x</em> + 1)
which has roots at <em>x</em> = -1/2 and <em>x</em> = -1, and these re the remaining zeroes of <em>f(x)</em>.

The motion described here is a projectile motion which is characterized by an arc-shaped direction of motion. There are already derived equations for this type of motions as listed:
Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g
t = 2v₀sinθ/g
y = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
where
Hmax = max. height reached by the object in a projectile motion
θ=angle of inclination
v₀= initial velocity
t = time of flight
x = horizontal range
y = vertical height
Part A.
Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g = (30²)(sin 33°)²/2(9.81)
Hmax = 13.61 m
Part B. In this part, we solve the velocity when it almost reaches the ground. Approximately, this is equal to y = 28.61 m and x = 31.91 m. In projectile motion, it is important to note that there are two component vectors of motion: the vertical and horizontal components. In the horizontal component, the motion is in constant speed or zero acceleration. On the other hand, the vertical component is acting under constant acceleration. So, we use the two equations of rectilinear motion:
y = v₀t + 1/2 at²
28.61 = 30(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t²)
t = 0.839 seconds
a = (v₁-v₀)/t
9.81 = (v₁ - 30)/0.839
v₁ = 38.23 m/s
Part C.
y = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
Hmax + 15 = xtanθ + gx²/(2v₀²cos²θ)
13.61 + 15 = xtan33° + (9.81)x²/[2(30)²(cos33°)²]
Solving using a scientific calculator,
x = 31.91 m
Hmax = v₀²sin²θ/2g
t = 2v₀sinθ/g
