Part A: Create a third-degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form? (5 points)

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let consider the polynomial $p(x) = 5\cdot x^{3} +2\cdot x^{2} - 6 \cdot x +17$ . The polynomial is in standards when has the form $p(x) = \Sigma \limit_{i=0}^{n} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}$ , where $n$ is the order of the polynomial. The example has the following information:

$n = 3$ , $a_{0} = 17$ , $a_{1} = -6$ , $a_{2} = 2$ , $a_{3} = 5$ .

b) The closure property means that polynomials must be closed with respect to addition and multiplication, which is demonstrated hereafter:

Closure with respect to addition:

Let consider polynomials $p_{1}$ and $p_{2}$ such that:

$p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}$ and $p_{2} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{n}\,b_{i}\cdot x^{i}$ , where $m \geq n$

$p_{1}+p_{2} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{n}\,(a_{i}+b_{i})\cdot x^{i} + \Sigma_{i=n+1}^{m}\,a_{i} \cdot x^{i}$

Hence, polynomials are closed with respect to addition.

Closure with respect to multiplication:

Let be $p_{1}$ a polynomial such that:

$p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m} \,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}$

And $\alpha$ an scalar. If the polynomial is multiplied by the scalar number, then:

$\alpha \cdot p_{1} = \alpha \cdot \Sigma \limits_{i = 0}^{m}\,a_{i}\cdot x^{i}$

Lastly, the following expression is constructed by distributive property:

$\alpha \cdot p_{1} = \Sigma \limits_{i=0}^{m}\,(\alpha\cdot a_{i})\cdot x^{i}$

Hence, polynomials are closed with respect to multiplication.

What is the distance between begin ordered pair 8 comma negative 3 comma 4 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 6 comma negat

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{14} = 3.74...$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between (8, -3, 4) and (6, -4, 1), use the distance formula for (x,y,z) points. It is very similar to (x,y) points.

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2 + (z_2 - z_1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(8 - 6)^2 + (-3--4)^2 + (4-1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (1)^2 + (3)^2} \\d = \sqrt{4 + 1 + 9}\\ d = \sqrt{14} = 3.74...$

Wolfrich lived in Portugal and Brazil for a total period of 14 months in order to learn Portuguese. He learned an average of 130

Ghella [55]

He lived 9 months in Portugal and 5 months in Brazil. This is because 130*9 + 150*5 = 1920.

NEED HELP ASAP!!

devlian [24]

Answer:we multiply by the reciprocal of a fraction when completing a division problem because it is a rule in mathematics that when you divide two fraction, you change the division sign to multiplication and flip the fraction at the right of the multiplication sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if you have 4÷ 1/2. It basically means how many 1/2 can one get in 4. And the answers is 8.

Therefore multiplying by the reciprocal of a fraction when completing a division problem is a short cut method that has been tested and proven to be correct.
