<h3><u>Answer :- </u></h3>

• 1 / 3

<h3><u>Explanation :- </u></h3>

If a dilation produces a smaller figure then ,

0 < Scale factor < 1 .

So then ,

Case 1 ) -2 => The scale factor must be a positive number .

Case 2 ) 1 / 3 => 0 < 1/3 < 1 => Is a possible scale factor .

Case 3 ) 1 => This scale factor does not produce a smaller figure , It produces the same figure .

Case 4 ) 4 => This scale factor produces a larger figure .

<h3>• Hence, the answer is 1/3 .</h3>

Find a polynomial $f(x)$ of degree $5$ such that both of these properties hold: $\bullet$ $f(x)$ is divisible by $x^3$. $\bullet

frosja888 [35]

There seems to be one character missing. But I gather that <em>f(x)</em> needs to satisfy

• $x^3$ divides $f(x)$

• $(x-1)^3$ divides $f(x)^2$

I'll also assume <em>f(x)</em> is monic, meaning the coefficient of the leading term is 1, or

$f(x) = x^5 + \cdots$

Since $x^3$ divides $f(x)$ , and

$f(x) = x^3 p(x)$

where $p(x)$ is degree-2, and we can write it as

$f(x)=x^3 (x^2+ax+b)$

Now, we have

$f(x)^2 = \left(x^3p(x)\right)^2 = x^6 p(x)^2$

so if $(x - 1)^3$ divides $f(x)^2$ , then $p(x)$ is degree-2, so $p(x)^2$ is degree-4, and we can write

$p(x)^2 = (x-1)^3 q(x)$

where $q(x)$ is degree-1.

Expanding the left side gives

$p(x)^2 = x^4 + 2ax^3 + (a^2+2b)x^2 + 2abx + b^2$

and dividing by $(x-1)^3$ leaves no remainder. If we actually compute the quotient, we wind up with

$\dfrac{p(x)^2}{(x-1)^3} = \underbrace{x + 2a + 3}_{q(x)} + \dfrac{(a^2+6a+2b+6)x^2 + (2ab-6a-8)x +2a+b^2+3}{(x-1)^3}$

If the remainder is supposed to be zero, then

$\begin{cases}a^2+6a+2b+6 = 0 \\ 2ab-6a-8 = 0 \\ 2a+b^2+3 = 0\end{cases}$

Adding these equations together and grouping terms, we get

$(a^2+2ab+b^2) + (2a+2b) + (6-8+3) = 0 \\\\ (a+b)^2 + 2(a+b) + 1 = 0 \\\\ (a+b+1)^2 = 0 \implies a+b = -1$

Then $b=-1-a$ , and you can solve for <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> by substituting this into any of the three equations above. For instance,

$2a+(-1-a)^2 + 3 = 0 \\\\ a^2 + 4a + 4 = 0 \\\\ (a+2)^2 = 0 \implies a=-2 \implies b=1$

So, we end up with

$p(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1 \\\\ \implies f(x) = x^3 (x^2 - 2x + 1) = \boxed{x^5-2x^4+x^3}$
