In order to find out what 36x + 9 is equivalent to,, we must factor out 9 from the expression. Once we do this you will find that this expression is equivalent to 9(4x + 1),, or option E.
Next we will look at the expression 9(4x -1). In order for us to find out the equivalent to this expression,, we must first multiply each term in the parenthesis by 9.
9 × 4x - 9
Now calculate the product
36x - 9
This means that the equivalent for this expression is 36x - 9,, or option A.
Lastly,, we will look at the final expression given which is 4(9x + 2). The first step for finding the equivalent of this expression is to multiply the numbers in the first parenthesis together.
(36x) + (4 × 2)
Now multiply the numbers in the second parenthesis together.
(36x) + 8
Remove the parenthesis
36x + 8
Now factor out 4 from the expression to get your final answer.
4(9x + 2)
This means that the last expression is equivalent to 4(9x + 2),, or option C.
Let me know if you have any further questions
:)
1a) Possible rational roots will be of the form
±{divisor of 10}/{divisor of 4}
Divisors of 10 are {1, 2, 5, 10}
Divisors of 4 are {1, 2, 4}
Then possible rational roots are
{±1/4, ±1/2, ±1, ±5/4, ±2, ±5/2, ±5, ±10}
1b) Your answer is correct.
2) One additional root will be the conjuate of the given complex root.
5 -3i
3) If one root is 5 -√7, another will be 5 +√7. Then your polynomial is
P(x) = (x -(5 -√7))*(x -(5 +√7)) = (x -5)^2 -(√7)^2
P(x) = x^2 -10x +18
Here’s a picture of my work. The answer is b. Hope this helps :-)
