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

Solve the following system of equations by graphing and select the correct answer below:
JulijaS [17]

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of each line.

To find the x-intercept, substitute y=0 into the equation and solve for "x".

To find the y-intercept, substitute x=0 into the equation and solve for "y".

- For the first equation:

x-intercept

4x + 3y = 29\\\\4x + 3(0)= 29\\\\4x=29\\\\x=\frac{29}{4}\\\\x=7.25

y-intercept

4x + 3y = 29\\\\4(0) + 3y = 29\\\\3y=29\\\\y=\frac{29}{3}\\\\y=9.66

Graph a line that passes through the points (7.25, 0) and (0, 9.66)

- For the second equation:

x-intercept

2x - 3y = 1 \\\\2x - 3(0) = 1 \\\\2x=1\\\\x=0.5

y-intercept

2x - 3y = 1\\\\2(0) - 3y = 1\\\\-3y=1\\\\y=-0.33

Graph a line that passes through the points (0.5, 0) and (0, -0.33)

Observe the graph attached. You can see that point of intersection of the lines is (5,3); then this is the solution of the system. Therefore:

x=5\\y=3

According to the National Vital Statistics, full-term babies' birth weights are Normally distributed with a mean of 7.5 pounds a
Sav [38]

Answer:

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 7.5, \sigma = 1.1

What is the probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 8.6 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 6.4. So

X = 8.6

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8.6 - 7.5}{1.1}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.8413

X = 6.4

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{6.4 - 7.5}{1.1}

Z = -1

Z = -1 has a pvalue of 0.1587

0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826

68.26% probability that a randomly selected full-term pregnancy baby's birth weight is between 6.4 and 8.6 pounds

In a triangle, the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle. the measure of the third angle is 96 deg
slavikrds [6]
Lets x = measure of the second angle, so m<2 = x
m<1 = 2x (<span>the measure of the first angle is twice the measure of the second angle)
</span>m<3 = x + 96 (<span>96 degrees more than the measure of the second angle)
</span>
x + 2x + x+ 96 = 180
4x + 96 = 180
4x = 84
x = 21

2x = 2(21) = 42
x + 96 = 21+96 = 117

answer
m<1 = 42
m<2 = 21
m<3 = 117

Double check
sum = 180

m<1 + m<2 +m<3 = 180
42+21+117=180
180=180
