Answer:

P(x)=(x-2)(x-4)(x+3)(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(x)=x⁴+3x³-28x²-36x+144

It is a polynomial with degree 4.

It should maximum four factor.

Hit and trial error method.

Put x = 2 into P(x)

P(2)=2⁴+3×2³-28×2²-36×2+144

P(2) = 0

So, x-2 would be factor of P(x)

Now divide x⁴+3x³-28x²-36x+144 by x-2 to get another factors

(x^4+3x^3-28x^2-36x+144)\div (x-2) = x^3+5x^2-18x-72

P(x)=(x-2)(x^3+5x^2-18x-72)

Put x = 4

P(4) = 0

now divide x^3+5x^2-18x-72 by x-4

(x^3+5x^2-18x-72)\div (x-4) = x^2+9x+18

P(x)=(x-2)(x-4)(x^2+9x+18)

Now factor x^2+9x+18

\Rightarrow x^2+9x+18

\Rightarrow (x+6)(x+3)

Complete factor of P(x)

P(x)=(x-2)(x-4)(x+3)(x+6)

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

= 30,550 rupee owed

Step-by-step explanation:

yr1 = 50000 x 0.10^1 = 5000

5000 - 10000 = 5000 credit from debt.

yr 2 = 50000 x 1.10^2 = 500 debit from debt = 5000-15000= 10,000 credit from debt

yr 3 = 50000 x 1.10^3 = 50 debit from debt

5000 + 500 = 15000 where 50,000 owed initially and yr1 and yr 2 paid in full interest of 5500 and we deduct this from his payment = 25000-5500 =

19500 paid of initial and nothing owed on interest.

50000-19500= 30,500 rupees owed + 50 rupee interest.

= 30,550 rupee owed
