Answer:

(x-4) is not a factor of f(x)=x³-2x²+5x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Uding the remainder theorem,(x-4) is a factor if the remainder is 0

Plug in x=4

(4)³-2(4)²+5(4)+1

64-32+20+1

64-53

Given that f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = the quantity of 3x minus 1, divided by 2, solve for g(f(3)). 5 7 9 10

AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is 10.

In order to evaluate any composite function, you need to first put the value in for the inside function. In this case f(x) is on the inside along with the number 3. So, we input 3 in for x in f(x).

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(3) = 2(3) + 1

f(3) = 6 + 1

f(3) = 7

Now that we have the value of f(3), we can stick the answer in for the outside function, which is g(x).

g(x) = (3x - 1)/2

g(7) = (3(7) - 1)/ 2

g(7) = (21 - 1)/2

g(7) = 20/2

g(f(3)) = 10

Write an equation for an ellipse centered at the origin, which has foci at (\pm\sqrt{8},0)(± 8 ,0)(, plus minus, square root o

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The equation of ellipse centered at the origin

$\frac{x^2}{18} +\frac{y^2}{10} =1$

Step-by-step explanation:

given the foci of ellipse (±√8,0) and c0-vertices are (0,±√10)

The foci are (-C,0) and (C ,0)

Given data (±√8,0)

the focus has x-coordinates so the focus is lie on x- axis.

The major axis also lie on x-axis

The minor axis lies on y-axis so c0-vertices are (0,±√10)

given focus C = ae = √8

Given co-vertices ( minor axis) (0,±b) = (0,±√10)

b= √10

The relation between the focus and semi major axes and semi minor axes are $c^2=a^2-b^2$

$a^{2} = c^{2} +b^{2}$

$a^{2} = (\sqrt{8} )^{2} +(\sqrt{10} )^{2}$

$a^{2} =18$

$a=\sqrt{18}$

The equation of ellipse formula

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1$

we know that $a=\sqrt{18} and b=\sqrt{10}$

Final answer:-

The equation of ellipse centered at the origin

$\frac{x^2}{18} +\frac{y^2}{10} =1$
