Find a third degree polynomial function of the lowest degree that has the zeros below and whose leading coefficient is one.

Answer:

The polynomial function of the lowest degree that has zeroes at -1, 0 and 6 and with a leading coefficient of one is p(x) = x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}-6\cdot x.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, we remember that the degree of the polynomials determine the number of roots within. Since we know three roots, then the factorized form of the polynomial function with the lowest degree is:

p(x) = (x-r_{1})\cdot (x-r_{2})\cdot (x-r_{3}) = 0 (1)

Where r_{1}, r_{2} and r_{3} are the roots of the polynomial.

If we know that r_{1} = -1, r_{2} = 0 and r_{3} = 6, then the polynomial function in factorized form is:

p(x) = (x+1)\cdot x \cdot (x-6) (2)

And by Algebra we get the standard form of the function:

p(x) = x\cdot (x+1)\cdot (x-6)

p(x) = x\cdot (x^{2}-5\cdot x -6)

p(x) = x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}-6\cdot x (3)

The polynomial function of the lowest degree that has zeroes at -1, 0 and 6 and with a leading coefficient of one is p(x) = x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}-6\cdot x.

Anni [7]

Answer: 16 minutes and 40 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Divide 10 minutes by 3 laps in order to find out how long it takes her to run a single lap. (it ends up being 3 minutes and 20 seconds per lap)

2.) Multiply this number by 5, you get 16 minutes and 40 seconds.

NOTE: remember that you’re using intervals of 60 (seconds in a minute) rather than intervals of 100.

While riding her bike to the ocean and back home 5 times, Kimberly timed herself at 53min, 48min, 56min, 54min, and 45min. She h
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Kim will need to spend 67 minutes on her sixth ride

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number of minutes of her sixth ride by m.

Then the average number of minutes is

53 + 43 + 56 + 54 + 45 + m

---------------------------------------- = 53

                      6

Multiplying both sides of this equation by 6 yields

6(53 + 43 + 56 + 54 + 45 + m)

--------------------------------------------- = 6(53)

                        6

which simplifies to

 251 + m

---------------- = 318

         

or  251 + m = 318.  Subtract 251 from both sides to obtain the value of m:

m  = 318 - 251 = 67

Kim will need to spend 67 minutes on her sixth ride to attain an average ride length of  53 minutes.i

vitfil [10]

Answer:

x>24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's re-write it multiplied by -2 on each side, the denominator will disappear and we'll have our x positive:

x>24

Remember: if you multiply a inequality for a negative number, change the sign to its opposite, for example the < become the >
