F(x) = x4 - x3 - 2x- 4 factor the polynomial function over the complex numbers

Mathematics

Answer:

<u>f(x) = = (x + √2 i) (x - √2 i) (x - 2 ) (x + 1)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = x⁴ - x³ -2x -4

factor the polynomial function

f(x) = x⁴ - x³ -2x -4 = (x⁴ - 4) - (x³ + 2x )  ⇒ take (-) as a common from (- x³ -2x)

     = (x² + 2 ) (x² - 2) - x (x² + 2)   ⇒ take (x² + 2)  as a common

     = (x² + 2 ) ( x² - x - 2)

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

Notes:  (x⁴ - 4) = (x² + 2 ) (x² - 2)

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

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

Which of the following is the quotient of the rational expression (x-2/x+3) divided by (2/x)
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

(x²-2x)/(2x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are asked to divide two fractions just do keep-change-flip. Keep the first fraction, change the ÷ to x and flip the second fraction upside down. So the problem becomes ((x-2)/(x+3)) times (x/2). Then just multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

Let f(x) be a quartic polynomial with integer coefficients and four integer roots. Suppose the constant term of f(x) is 6.(a) Is
frez [133]

Answer:

  (a) yes

  (b) no; see below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Integer roots of the quartic will be integer divisors of 6. One of the divisors of 6 is 3, so 3 is a possible root.

(b) In order for 3 to be a double root, it would have to be a double factor of 6. The only integer factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6. (3² = 9 is not one.)

___

The quartic can be written as ...

  k(x -a)(x -b)(x -c)(x -d) . . . . . where a, b, c, d, k are integers

The constant term will be kabcd, of which each of the roots is a factor. If the constant is 6 and one root is d=3, then we must have

  kabcd = 3kabc = 6

  kabc = 6/3 = 2

Among these four integer factors, there must be an even number of minus signs, and one that has the value ±2. Another root whose value is 3 will not satisfy the requirements.
