Answer:

x³ - 11x² + 41x - 51

Step-by-step explanation:

The least number of degree is 3 and the third root should be (4 - i) to make polynomial rational.

The polynomial is:

(x - 3)(x - (4 + i))(x - (4 + i)) =
(x - 3)(x² -x(4 + i + 4 - i) + (4 + i)(4 - i)) =
(x - 3)(x² - 8x + 16 - (-1)) =
(x - 3)(x² - 8x + 17) =
x³ - 8x² + 17x - 3x² + 24x - 51 =
x³ - 11x² + 41x - 51

Help QUICK!!! what is the slope of the line?

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need two points to use the slope formula

(0,2) and (2,0) are points on the line

m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (0-2)/(2-0)

= -2/2

Three fifths of the members of a hiking club went on the last hiking trip. If 39 people went on the trip , how many are in the c

finlep [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since 39 is 3/5 of the club, divide by 3 to get 1/5 of the club

2. 1/5 of the club is 13 people

3. Multiply 13 by 5 to get 5/5 of the club (which is the whole club)

4. The whole club is 65 people

5. You can check it because 65×3/5=39

Decide whether quadrilateral ABCD with vertices 4(3,1), B(-1,-1) C(1,3), and D(5.5) is a rectangle, rhombus,square, or parallelo

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

By inspection, we can tell that there are no right angles, so we can determine it is not a square or a rectangle.

From the options, it is implied that it is a parallelogram, so to determine if it is a rhombus, we can determine if there is a pair of consecutive congruent sides.

By the distance formula,

$AB=\sqrt{(-1-3)^{2}+(-1-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{16+4}=2\sqrt{5}\\BC=\sqrt{(-1-1)^{2}+(-1-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{4+16}=2\sqrt{5}$

As AB=BC, there is indeed a pair of consecutive congruent sides, and thus the most specific classification is a rhombus
