Answer:

The polynomial is:

p(x) = -x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a function:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{n} such that it can be written as: a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*...*(x-x_n), in which a is the leading coefficient.

Zeros of −3, −1, and 2

This means that x_1 = -3, x_2 = -1, x_3 = 2. Thus

p(x) = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})*(x-x_3)

p(x) = a(x - (-3))*(x - (-1))*(x-2)

p(x) = a(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)

p(x) = a(x^2+4x+3)(x-2)

p(x) = a(x^3+2x^2-5x-6)

Passes through the point (1,12).

This means that when x = 1, p(x) = 12. We use this to find a.

12 = a(1 + 2 - 5 - 6)

-12a = 12

a = -\frac{12}{12}

a = -1

Thus

p(x) = -(x^3+2x^2-5x-6)

p(x) = -x^3 - 2x^2 + 5x + 6

PLEASE HELP!!!!<br> Which of these pair of functions are inverse functions?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option B and C are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse function: If both the domain and the range are R for a function f(x), and if f(x) has an inverse g(x) then:

f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x for every x∈R.

Let f(x) = \frac{1}{2}(\ln(\frac{x}{2}) -1) and g(x) = 2e^{2x+1}

Use logarithmic rules:

  • ln e^a = a
  • e^{lnx} = x
  • \ln a^b = b\ln a

then, by definition;

f(g(x)) = f(2e^{2x+1}) =\frac{1}{2}(\ln(\frac{2e^{2x+1}}{2})-1) = \frac{1}{2}(\ln(e^{2x+1}}){-1) = \frac{1}{2} (2x+1-1) =\frac{1}{2}(2x) = x

g(f(x)) = g(\frac{1}{2}(\ln(\frac{x}{2}) -1)) = 2e^{2({\frac{1}{2}(\ln(\frac{x}{2}) -1})+1 2e^{(\ln(\frac{x}{2}) -1+1}=2e^{\ln(\frac{x}{2})} =2\cdot \frac{x}{2} = x

Similarly;

for f(x) = \frac{4 \ln(x^2)}{e^2} and g(x) = e^{\frac{e^2 \cdot x}{8} }

then, by definition;

f(g(x)) = f(e^{\frac{e^2 \cdot x}{8}}) =\frac{4 \ln {(\frac{e^2 \cdot x}{8})^2}}{e^2} = \frac{8 \ln {(\frac{e^2 \cdot x}{8})}}{e^2} =\frac{8\frac{e^2\cdot x}{8} }{e^2}=\frac{8e^2 \cdot x}{8e^2}=x

Similarly,

g(f(x)) = x

Therefore, the only option B and C are correct. As the pairs of functions are inverse function.

Shane and Karen want to measure the length of a soccer field. Should they use centimeters or meters to measure it? Explain.
Ber [7]

Shane and Karen want to measure the length of a soccer field. Length can be measured in different units such as cm, m ,km , yards etc. The question is asking us to select between two units cm or meters which will be more appropriate to measure the field.

To measure the field a larger unit is required. Meter is a bigger unit than centimeter.Centimeter is not the correct unit to measure the length of soccer field.

Shane and Karen should use meters to measure the soccer field.
