Given:

Degree of polynomial = 3

Zeros are -​3,-​1, and 4.

The leading coefficient is -4.

To find:

The polynomial.

Solution:

The general form of a polynomial is

P(x)=a(x-c_1)^{m_1}(x-c_2)^{m_2}...(x-c_n)^{m_n}

where, a is a constant, c_1,c_2,...,c_n are zeros with multiplicity m_1,m_2,...,m_n respectively.

Zeros of the polynomial are -​3,-​1, and 4. So,

P(x)=a(x-(-3))(x-(-1))(x-4)

P(x)=a(x+3)(x+1)(x-4)

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

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

P(x)=a(x^3+4x^2+3x-4x^2-16x-12)

P(x)=a(x^3-13x-12)

P(x)=ax^3-13ax-12a

Here, leading coefficient is a.

The leading coefficient is -4. So, a=-4.

P(x)=(-4)x^3-13(-4)x-12(-4)

P(x)=-4x^3+52x+48

Therefore, the required polynomial is P(x)=-4x^3+52x+48.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

16 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about what fraction become .3 when put into a calculator

that's a 3 in the tenths place in the decimal system so the fraction would be 3/10. Then finally add on the 16

*an aside if this is wrong it it is possible that they have rounded 1/3 to one decimal place. (1/3 is usually .33333 repeating)

A curve has equation<br> y = x²(x - 2)<br> Work out the gradient of the curve at the point (3,9).
slava [35]

Answer:

y = x^2 (x - 2) = x^3 - 2 x^2

dy/dx = 3 x^2 - 4 x

At x = 3  dy/dx = 3 * 9 - 4 * 3 = 15  The slope (gradient) of the curve
