Answer:

\displaystyle -x^3+10x^2-48x+64

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the minimum-degree polynomial with real coefficients and zeros at:

x= 4+4i\text{ and }  x = 2

As well as a <em>y-</em>intercept of 64.

By the Complex Root Theorem, if <em>a</em> + <em>b</em>i is a root, then <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>i is also a root.

So, a third root will be 4 - 4i.

The factored form of a polynomial is given by:

P(x)=a(x-p)(x-q)...

Where <em>a</em> is the leading coefficient and <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the zeros. More factors can be added if necessary.

Substitute:

P(x)=a(x-(2))(x-(4+4i))(x-(4-4i))

Since we want the minimum degree, we won't need to add any exponents.

Expand the second and third factors:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (x-(4+4i))(x-(4-4i))&=(x-4-4i)(x-4+4i) \\ &= x(x-4-4i)-4(x-4-4i)+4i(x-4-4i)\\ &=x^2-4x-4ix-4x+16+16i+4ix-16i-16i^2\\ &= x^2-8x+32\end{aligned}

Hence:

P(x)=a(x-2)(x^2-8x+32)

Lastly, we need to determine <em>a</em>. Since the <em>y-</em>intercept is <em>y</em> = 64, this means that when <em>x</em> = 0, <em>y</em> = 64. Thus:

64=a(0-2)(0^2-8(0)+32)

Solve for <em>a: </em>

-64a=64\Rightarrow a=-1

Our factored polynomial is:

P(x)=-(x-2)(x^2-8x+32)

Finally, expand:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(x) &=-(x^2(x-2)-8x(x-2)+32(x-2)) \\&=-(x^3-2x^2-8x^2+16x+32x-64)\\&=-(x^3-10x^2+48x-64)\\&= -x^3+10x^2-48x+64\end{aligned}

How many roots does a quadratic have if the discriminant if prime?
scZoUnD [109]

"The discriminant is prime?" I haven't heard that one before.

Here are the general rules:

1. a positive discriminant results in two real, unequal roots.

2. a zero discr. results in two real, equal roots.

3. a negative discr. results in two complex roots, which sometimes means two imaginary roots.

The figure below is made of two identical triangular prisms. What is the volume of the figure?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A triangular prism is 1/2 the volume of a rectangular prism with the same dimensions.

V = BH (Base x Width) of a triangular its 1/2BH

The base is 10 x 5, 50 is the base.

The height is 6, and that would be 300 / 2 since it's triangular so its 150 inches squared for one. Since there are 2.

The total volume is 300 inches squared.
