Answer:
the correct choice (A) is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
The function g(x) is translated 3 right and 1 down from f(x).
The transformation ...
g(x) = f(x -h) +k . . . . . . translates h right and k up
For your translation, you have (h, k) = (3, -1). Putting those into the transformation model above gives ...
g(x) = (x -3)² -1 . . . . matches choice A
If complex coefficients are allowed, the answer is 3.
If the polynomial must have real coefficients, then each complex root comes as a pair of complex conjugate roots.
Root -5 is real, so that is 1 root, and degree 1.
Root 1 + 4i is complex, so it must come with its complex conjugate, 1 - 4i. This adds 2 roots to the polynomial, and now we're up to degree 3.
Root -4i is also complex. It also must come with its complex conjugate, 4i. That adds two more roots, and the degree is 5.
Answer: The least possible degree is 5 with real coefficients.
Contour integration is a method of evaluating certain integrals along paths in the complex plane.
