Given a leading coefficient of 8, polynomial roots of 1 & 2, and the known point on the graph (4,5). Write an equation that

will find the
missing 3rd root (r). You do not have to solve the problem. See the example "Find the Missing Root - Interesting Twist" if you need help.

Given:

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8.

Polynomial roots are 1 and 2.

The graph passes through the point (4,5).

To find:

The 3rd root and the equation of the polynomial.

Solution:

The factor form of a polynomial is:

y=a(x-c_1)(x-c_2)...(x-c_n)

Where, a is a constant and c_1,c_2,...,c_n are the roots of the polynomial.

Polynomial roots are 1 and 2. So, (x-1) and (x-2) are the factors of the polynomial.

Let the third root of the polynomial by c, then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

The leading coefficient of a polynomial is 8. So, a=8 and the equation of the polynomial is:

y=8(x-1)(x-2)(x-c)

The graph passes through the point (4,5). Putting x=4,y=5, we get

5=8(4-1)(4-2)(4-c)

5=8(3)(2)(4-c)

5=48(4-c)

Divide both sides by 48.

\dfrac{5}{48}=4-c

c=4-\dfrac{5}{48}

c=\dfrac{192-5}{48}

c=\dfrac{187}{48}

Therefore, the 3rd root on the polynomial is \dfrac{187}{48}.

posledela

Answer:

x = ±10

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² - 400 = 0

Add 400 to both sides

4x² = 400

Divide both sides by 4

x² = 100

Take the square root of both sides

x = ±10

Zara translates figure p to make figure q. If she translates figure q 4 units to right to make figure r where will figure r be l
Morgarella [4.7K]

Using translation concepts, considering the vertices (x,y) of figure p, the following rule is applied to find the vertices of figure r.

(x,y) -> (x + 4, y).

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s definition or in it’s domain. Examples are shift left/right or bottom/up, vertical or horizontal stretching or compression, and reflections over the x-axis or the y-axis.

When a figure is shifted 4 units to the right, <u>4 is added to the x-coordinate</u>, hence, considering the vertices (x,y) of figure p, the following rule is applied to find the vertices of figure r.

(x,y) -> (x + 4, y).
