Been a while since I've done synthetic division.

1a. Let's assume that's supposed to be an equals sign

p(x) = 2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6

possible rational roots have factors of 6 in the numerator and of 2 in the denominator. We'll only worry about negative numerators.

Factors of six: 1,2,3,6, and we don't forget -1,-2,-3,-6

Factors of 2: 1,2

Possible rational roots:

(dividing by 1:) 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3,6,-6

(dividing by 2:) 1/2, -1/2 (2/2=1 is a duplicate, don't have to repeat it), 3/2, -3/2

Possible rational roots: 1,-1,2,-2,3,-3,6,-6, 1/2, -1/2, 3/2, -3/2

Synthetic division, trying x=1,

1 | 2 -3 -6 5 6

2 -1 -7 -2

2 -1 -7 -2 4

Got a remainder of 4, so 1 isn't a root;

Trying x=-1

-1 | 2 -3 -6 5 6

-2 5 1 -6

2 -5 -1 6 0

Zero remainder, found a root, x=-1. This division says

(2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6) / (x + 1) = 2x³ - 5x² - x + 6

Same set of rational roots on the cubic, we continue with x=2

2 | 2 -5 -1 6

4 -2 -6

2 -1 -3 0

Another zero remainder, x=2 is a root. We're left with 2x² - x - 3 = 0, which factors as

(2x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

That's a second factor of x+1. Our final factorization is

2x⁴ - 3x³ - 6x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 1)²(x-2)(2x - 3)

Fourth degree with a positive leading coefficient so goes to +infinity at both ends. Double zero at x=-1, so it's tangent there, just touching the x axis, then down through x=3/2 and up through x=2.

I'll leave the actually sketching and the other two polynomials to you -- that took some time.

A die with six faces has the number 1 painted on three of its faces, the number 2 painted on 2 of its faces, and number 3 on one

salantis [7]

Answer:

a) S = {1, 2, 3}

b) P(odd number) = $\frac{2}{3}$

c) No

d) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. By definition, the elements of a set should not be repeated. Hence, the sample space S = {1, 2, 3}

However, the sample is not equiprobable because each element has different probabilities.

b) P(odd number) = $\frac{number of odd digits}{number of faces}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$
