Answer:

  f(x) = x⁵ +4x⁴ +x³ -10x² -4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

If p is a zero, then (x -p) is a factor. The multiplicity of the zero tells you how many times that is a factor (its exponent).

  f(x) = (x -1)²(x +2)³ = (x² -2x +1)(x³ +6x² +12x +8)

  f(x) = x⁵ +4x⁴ +x³ -10x² -4x+8

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can use the distributive property to write out the 12 terms of the product of the two expanded factors, or you can do a little mental arithmetic based on what you know about the exponent of a product term. (It is the sum of the exponents of its factors.)

The mental exercise can be made easier by writing the coefficients of the factors as though they were two cubics. It works well to write them in two rows:

  \left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&1&-2&1\\1&6&12&8\end{array}\right]

The columns are in order of decreasing powers of x. A relatively simple and symmetrical pattern of sums of cross products is used to find the coefficients of the final polynomial. Working in order of decreasing exponents, we have ...

coefficient of x^6 = (0)(1) = 0

coefficient of x^5 = (0)(6) +(1)(1) = 1

coefficient of x^4 = (0)(12) +(1)(-2) +(1)(6) = 4

coefficient of x^3 = (0)(8) +(1)(1) +(1)(12) +(6)(-2) = 1

coefficient of x^2 = (1)(8) +(6)(1) +(-2)(12) = -10

coefficient of x^1 = (-2)(8) +(12)(1) = -4

coefficient of x^0 = (1)(8) = 8

A number from 0 to 9 is randomly selected and then a letter from A to D is randomly selected. What is the probability that the n
maw [93]

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must get the total amount of possibilities.

We have ten numbers(0 included) and 4 letters. 10 * 4 = 40, so 40 total possibilities.

Now, let's see how many possibilities we can have for this.

Consonants in the 4 letters are B, C, D. This means we have 3 possibilities, but we ACTUALLy have 6 since it could b then 3, or 3 then b for all the letters.

So, we end up having 6/40 which simplifies in to 3/20

Marcus has 731 books he puts about the same number of books on each of nine shelves in his bookcase about how many books are on
kondaur [170]

Answer:

81.2222 or 81 with 2 left over

Step-by-step explanation:

731/9 = 81.2222

81.2222 rounded down = 81

9*81 = 729

731-729 = 2 left over

This is the third time I am answering the question.

If the given values in a right triangle are cos A =
Vlad1618 [11]
See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²---->  equation 1

applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2

the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2

Suppose you wish to borrow $600 for two weeks and the amount of interest you must pay is $25 per $100 borrowed. What is the APR
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The APR at which the money is borrowed, is approximately 651.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount which one wishes to borrow for two weeks, P = $600

The amount of interest that one must pay back = $25 per $100 borrowed

Therefore;

The total interest on the $600 loan (borrowed) for two weeks = 25/100× $600 = $150

The number of days for which the amount was borrowed = 2 weeks = 14 days

The Annual Percentage Rate, APR is given as follows;

APR = \left (\dfrac{\left (\dfrac{Interest \ Paid \ for \ the  \ Loan \ duration}{The \ amount \ borrowed} \right )}{The \ number \ of \ days \ the \ amount \ was  \ borrowed } \right ) \times 365 \times 100

Therefore, we get

APR = \left (\dfrac{\left (\dfrac{150}{600} \right )}{14 } \right ) \times 365 \times 100  \approx 651.79 \%

The annual rate at which the money is borrowed, APR ≈ 651.79%.

Can someone explain to me why you flip the reciprial
puteri [66]

Answer:

By flipping the second fraction (finding its reciprocal) we change the equation mathematically. In order to maintain the equation mathematically, we must turn the division question into a multiplication question.
