Add 1 to both sides of the equation to get 4x = 4.
Divide both sides by 4 and <em>x = 1</em>.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.
This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.
Then write the polynomial in factored form.

Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.
<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.
Degree: 3
Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.
The factors are

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>
Degree: 5
Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1
Multiplicity 2 in -1

<h3><u>
Answer:</u></h3>
Option: D
Horizontal stretching.
<h3><u>
Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>
We have to find the effect on the graph of the function f(x)=2x when it is replaced by f(0.5 x).
We know that when a parent function f(x) is replaced by f(kx) then either the graph is stretched horizontally or shrinked horizontally.
if k>1 then the graph is shrinked horizontally.
if k<1 then the graph is stretched horizontally.
Hence here k=0.5<1 so the graph of the function is stretched horizontally.
1 is false, 2 is true, 3 is false, 4 is false
