Answer:  The Expression is Equivalent, However, NOT completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2     -     12  

Following:

3 ( x^2    -    4   )

Factor:

3x^2   -  12

Factor Out Common Term 3:

3 ( x^2    -  4  )  =  3 (x^2  -  4 )

Factor:

x^2  -  4

( x  +   2 )  ( x   -  2 )

Answer:

3 ( x  +  2) ( x  -  2)

Hence, The Expression is Equivalent, However,  Wasn't Completely Factored.

Hope that helps!

1. If a polynomial of Degree 4 has an imaginary zero at -2i and a real zero at 5, how many imaginary zeros does it have?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Complex roots for polynomials equations will always come in conjugate pairs.  Since 1-2i is a root, 1+2i will also be a root.  (Just switch the sign of the imaginary part to its opposite.)

Step-by-step explanation:

So far we have 1-2i and 1+2i as roots.  We need two more to make a 4th degree polynomial.

x=1 with multiplicity of 2 means that we count the root twice when we write down the polynomial: (x - 1)(x - 1) = (x - 1)2

Putting it all together, we can construct our polynomial of degree 4 as

y = f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 1)[x - (1-2i)][x - (1+2i)]

Multiply the factors (FOIL):

[x - (1-2i)][x - (1+2i)] =

x2 - (1+2i)x - (1-2i)x + (1-2i)(1+2i) =

x2 - x - 2ix - x + 2ix + (1 + 2i - 2i + 4) =

x2 - 2x + 5

(x - 1)(x - 1) = x2 - x - x + 1 = x2 - 2x + 1

Now multiply the two underlined expressions:

y = (x2 - 2x + 5)(x2 - 2x + 1)

= x4 - 2x3 + 5x2 - 2x3 + 4x2 - 10x + x2 - 2x + 5  by multiplying term by term

= x4 - 4x3 + 10x2 -12x + 5 by collecting like terms.

the velocity of a car changes from 20 m/s east to 5 m/s east in 5 seconds what's the acceleration of the car
muminat
To solve this remember a=change in v/t, assuming the direction for the velocity, is + positive east. You can calculate it simply by this. A=v/t= A=5-20/5= A=-15/5= A=-3m/s squared. Change in velocity= vf-vi.
