Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomial is given by: f(x) = (x + 4)^4(x + 1)^3(x - 6)^6

  • The graph is sketched at the end of the answer.

The <em>Factor Theorem</em> states that a polynomial function with roots x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n is given by:

f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)

In which a is the leading coefficient.

In this problem, the roots are:

  • Root of -4 with multiplicity 4, hence x_1 = x_2 = x_3 + x_4 = -4.
  • Root of -1 with multiplicity 3, hence x_5 = x_6 = x_7 = 3.
  • Root of 5 with multiplicity 6, hence x_8 = x_9 = x_10 = x_11 = x_12 = x_13 = 6

Then:

f(x) = a(x - (-4))^4(x - (-1))^3(x-6)^6

f(x) = a(x + 4)^4(x + 1)^3(x - 6)^6

  • Positive leading coefficient, hence a = 1.
  • 13th degree, so it is odd.

Then:

f(x) = (x + 4)^4(x + 1)^3(x - 6)^6

At the end of the answer, an sketch of the graph is given.

For exercise, mr.harris walked 1 and 3 fourths miles 5 times last week.how many miles did he walk in all?
RUDIKE [14]
Well, if he walked one and three fourths miles five times, all you have to do is multiply one and three fourths and five to get your answer.

1 \frac{3}{4}*5 \\  \\  \frac{7}{4}* \frac{5}{1}    \\  \\  \frac{7*5}{4*1}  \\  \\  \frac{35}{4} =8 \frac{3}{4}
