Given the binomials (x + 1), (x + 4), (x - 5), and (x - 2), which one is a factor of f(x) = 3x^3 - 12x^2 - 4x - 55?

1 answer:

4 0

If (x-a) is the factor of f(x) then,
f(a)=0 and vice-versa
or,3x³-12x²-4x-55=0 .. .eqn(1)
Compare (x-a) with the binomials (x + 1), (x + 4), (x - 5), and (x - 2).....then
CHECK f(a)=0 by putting a=-1,-4,5,2 then
we get
f(-1)=3×(-1)³-12×(-1)²-4×(-1)-55=-66
f(-4)=............................,..............=other value than 0
f(5)= 3×(5)³-12×(5)²-4×(5)-55=0 (satisfies eqn1)
f(2)=...............=other value than 0(checkyourself)
Here, only f(5)=0
the factor of f(x)=(x-5)

If a ⊥ y and x ∥ y, then _____ x ⊥ a. x ∥ z. a ∥ b. a ⊥ z.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

A⊥X

Since

A is perpendicular to Y

A⊥YAnd, X is parallel to Y

X || Y

That implies that A must be also perpendicular to X

A⊥X

Which means that they have the same slope (same inclination)

What is the polar form of Negative 9 StartRoot 3 EndRoot + 9 i?

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the rectangular complex number -9√3 + 9i, which has a standard form a + bi, the a = -9√3 and the b = 9. We need this in polar form (r, θ) where

$r=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ and filling in:

$r=\sqrt{(-9\sqrt{3})^2+(9)^2 }$ (notice we do not put the i in there with the 9).

$r=\sqrt{243+81}$ so

r = 18. Now let's move on to the angle, which is a little more difficult. The angle is found in the inverse tangent ratio:

$tan^{-1}(\frac{b}{a})$ so filling that in, we have:

$tan^{-1}(\frac{9}{-9\sqrt{3} })=\frac{1}{-\sqrt{3} }$ Since tangent is the side opposite over the side adjacent, y is positive and x is negative in the second quadrant. This is a 30 degree angle in QII, which has a reference angle of 150 degrees. This angle in radians is $\frac{5\pi}6}$ , so the polar form of that number is (18, $\frac{5\pi}{6}$ )
