In this question, we have to identify the zeros of the polynomial, along with a point, and then we get that the formula for the polynomial is:

p(x) = -0.5(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)

------------------------

Equation of a polynomial, according to it's zeros:

Given a polynomial f(x), this polynomial has roots such that it can be written as: , in which a is the leading coefficient.

------------------------

Identifying the zeros:

Given the graph, the zeros are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis. In this question, they are:

x_1 = -2, x_2 = 0, x_3 = 3

Thus

p(x) = a(x - x_{1})(x - x_{2})(x-x_3)

p(x) = a(x - (-2))(x - 0)(x-3)

p(x) = ax(x+2)(x-3)

p(x) = ax(x^2 - x + 6)

p(x) = a(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)

------------------------

Leading coefficient:

Passes through point (2,-8), that is, when x = 2, y = -8, which is used to find a. So

p(x) = a(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)

-8 = a(2^3 - 2^2 + 6*2)

16a = -8

a = -\frac{8}{16} = -0.5

------------------------

Considering the zeros and the leading coefficient, the formula is:

p(x) = -0.5(x^3 - x^2 + 6x)

The formula that represents the polynomial in the figure is p(x) = x^{3}-x^{2}-6\cdot x.

Based on the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, we understand that Polynomials with real Coefficient have <em>at least</em> one real Root and <em>at most</em> a number of Roots equal to its Grade. The Grade is the maximum exponent that Polynomial has and root is a point such that p(x) = 0. By Algebra we understand that polynomial can be represented in this manner known as Factorized form:

p(x) = \Pi\limits_{i=0}^{n} (x-r_i) (1)

Where:

n - Grade of the polynomial.

i - Index of the root binomial.

x - Independent variable.

We notice that polynomials has three roots in x = -2, x = 0 and x = 3, having the following construction:

p(x) =(x+2)\cdot x \cdot (x-3)

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

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

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

The formula that represents the polynomial in the figure is p(x) = x^{3}-x^{2}-6\cdot x.

The perimeter of a triangle is 21. The smallest side is 3. The 2nd side is twice the smallest side. The 3rd side is 6 more than
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is measured in square units. For example in the rectangle above, if the sides are 2 and 4 meters long, then the area is 8 square meters. If the sides were 2 feet and 4 feet long the area would be 8 square feet. The most important thing to remember when calculating area is that.

Answer this one for me thanks ppppp
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

16.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to help us solve this problem: a^2+b^2=c^2 where c is the longest side of a right triangle (the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other two sides

It's safe to assume that x is the longest side in this triangle, making it the c value. Plug 14 and 9 into the equation as a and b and solve for x:

14^2+9^2=x^2\\196+81=x^2\\277=x^2\\x=16.6

Therefore, the value of x is 16.6 units when rounded to the nearest tenth.

I hope this helps!

A ferry departs from a port along the Sands River at 10:00 am. The ferry travels at a speed of 15 mph in still water and returns
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Speed of river's current = 5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance covered  

 Let x be the speed of the rivers current

Speed upstream = 15-x

speed downstream = 15+x

Time = distance / speed

time upstream = \frac{d}{15-x}

time downstream = \frac{d}{15+x}

the ferry trip upstream takes twice as long as its return trip downstream

\frac{d}{15-x}= \frac{2d}{15+x}

divide both sides by d

\frac{1}{15-x}= \frac{2}{15+x}

cross multiply

15+x= 2(15-x)

15+x= 30-2x

Add 2x on both sideds

15+3x= 30

subtract 15 from both sides and divide by 3

3x=15

x=5

Speed of river's current = 5 mph
