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

George is throwing a party for his son's 9th birthday he orders for sandwiches to the party if each person will eat 2/3 of a san
ddd [48]

Answer:

George can feed 6 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of sandwiches = 4

Each person eats two-third of a sandwich.

Therefore, number of persons eating 4 sandwich is given as:

\textrm{Number of persons} =\frac{\textrm{Total sandwiches eaten}}{\textrm{Total sandwiches eaten by 1 person}}

Therefore,

\textrm{Number of persons} = \frac{4}{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\\textrm{Number of persons} =4\times \frac{3}{2}=6

Please help urgent!!! Find the value of x in the triangle shown below!
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know a few things about t his triangle,  it's a special one  :P  ,   it's called isosceles because  two of the legs are the same length, which also mean that the angle x  is the same at the other unknown angle sooo  there are  2 x's   if that makes sense?  and then we can solve this , b/c we also know that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°

180 = 32 + 2x

148 = 2x

74 =x

∠x = 74°

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

d. 140

Step-by-step explanation:

QTR is a 180 degree angle, so we can assume  PTR is 140 degrees because (x+28) is (12+28)= 40
