Find a polynomial of degree 3 with real coefficients and zeros of -3,-1, and 4, for which f(-2)=-24
Zanzabum

We want to find a polynomial

<em>f(x)</em> = <em>a</em> <em>x</em>³ + <em>b</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>c</em> <em>x</em> + <em>d</em>

such that the roots of <em>f</em> are <em>x</em> = -3, <em>x</em> = -1, and <em>x</em> = 4, and <em>f(x)</em> takes on a value of -24 when <em>x</em> = -2.

The factor theorem for polynomials tells us that we can factorize <em>f(x)</em> as

<em>a</em> <em>x</em>³ + <em>b</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>c</em> <em>x</em> + <em>d</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>x</em> + 3) (<em>x</em> + 1) (<em>x</em> - 4)

Expand the right side:

(<em>x</em> + 3) (<em>x</em> + 1) (<em>x</em> - 4) = <em>x</em>³ - 13<em>x</em> - 12

So we have

<em>a</em> <em>x</em>³ + <em>b</em> <em>x</em>² + <em>c</em> <em>x</em> + <em>d</em> = <em>a x</em>³ - 13<em>a</em> <em>x</em> - 12<em>a</em>

<em />

In order for both sides to be equal, the coefficients of both polynomials on terms of the same degree must be equal. This means

<em>a</em> = <em>a</em> (of course)

<em>b</em> = 0 (there is no <em>x</em>² term on the right)

<em>c</em> = -13<em>a</em>

<em>d</em> = -12<em>a</em>

<em />

We also have that <em>f</em> (-2) = -24, which means

<em>f</em> (-2) = <em>a</em> (-2 + 3) (-2 + 1) (-2 - 4)

-24 = 6<em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = -4

which in turn tells us that <em>c</em> = 52 and <em>d</em> = 48.

So we found

<em>f(x)</em> = -4<em>x</em>³ + 52<em>x</em> + 48

Examine the following graph, where P(x) is the preimage and I(x) is the image after a transformation.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

the 4th answer I(x) = P(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

the first 2 options are out, because just adding values to the functional result values changes the y value, and the curve is pushed up or down. but not to the side.

just imagine

I(x) = P(x-4) means that the function value of previously at x-4 happens now at x. 4 units "later" (or more to the right).

"x+4" would make the functional value at previously x+4 happen now at x. so, everything would shift to the left (happen "earlier").

therefore, the 4th answer option is correct.

Which pair of functions are inverses of each other?
klio [65]

f(x) = 10x -5 and g(x) = (x+5)/10  are inverses of each other , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a Function ?</h3>

A function is a mathematical statement which relates two variables , a dependent and an independent variable.

The inverse of a function is found by replacing every y by x and vice versa , and then solve for y

The equation

f(x) = 4/x - 3

or

y= 4/x -3

Replacing y by x

x = 4/y -3

x +3 = 4/y

y = 4/(x+3)

Which do not correlate with the given inverse

f(x) = 10x -5

y = 10x -5

for finding inverse

10y -5 = x

10y = x+5

y = (x+5)/10

g(x) = (x+5)/10

Therefore , Option D is the correct answer.
