Answers

Answer 1

Using the Factor Theorem, the polynomials are given as follows:

1. [tex]P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2[/tex]

2. [tex]P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)[/tex]

3. P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

What is the Factor Theorem?

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots [tex]x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n[/tex] is given by:

[tex]f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)[/tex]

In which a is the leading coefficient.

Item a:

The parameters are:

[tex]a = 1, x_1 = x_2 = 1, x_3 = x_4 = 0, x_5 = -4[/tex]

Hence the equation is:

P(x) = (x - 1)²x²(x + 4)

P(x) = (x² - 2x + 1)(x + 4)x²

P(x) = (x³ + 2x² - 7x + 1)x²

[tex]P(x) = x^5 + 2x^4 - 7x^3 + x^2[/tex]

Item b:

The roots are:

[tex]x_1 = x_2 = 4, x_3 = 0, x_4 = -4[/tex]

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 4)²x(x + 4)

P(x) = a(x² - 16)x(x - 4)

P(x) = a(x³ - 16x)(x - 4)

[tex]P(x) = a(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)[/tex]

It passes through the point x = 5, P(x) = 36, hence:

45a = 36.

a = 4/5

a = 0.8

Hence:

[tex]P(x) = 0.8(x^4 - 4x^3 - 16x^2 + 64x)[/tex]

Item 3:

The roots are:

[tex]x_1 = x_2 = 3, x_3 = -2[/tex]

Hence:

P(x) = a(x - 3)²(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x² - 6x + 9)(x + 2)

P(x) = a(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

For the y-intercept, x = 0, y = -1.8, hence:

18a = -1.8 -> a = -0.1

Thus the function is:

P(x) = -0.1(x³ - 4x² - 3x + 18)

The domain of ​(f​g)(x) consists of the numbers x that are in the domains of both f and g.

Answers

The statement "The domain of (fg)(x) consists of the numbers x that are in the domains of both f and g" is FALSE.

Domain is the values of x in the function represented by y=f(x), for which y exists.

THe given statement is "The domain of (fg)(x) consists of the numbers x that are in the domains of both f and g".

Now we assume the [tex]g(x)=x+2[/tex] and [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x-6}[/tex]

So here since g(x) is a polynomial function so it exists for all real x.

[tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x-6}[/tex]  does not exists when [tex]x=6[/tex], so the domain of f(x) is given by all real x except 6.

Now,

[tex](fg)(x)=f(g(x))=f(x+2)=\frac{1}{(x+2)-6}=\frac{1}{x-4}[/tex]

So now (fg)(x) does not exists when x=4, the domain of (fg)(x) consists of all real value of x except 4.

But domain of both f(x) and g(x) consists of the value x=4.

Hence the statement is not TRUE universarily.

Thus the given statement about the composition of function is FALSE.

An electrical resistor is rated at 4500 ohms ± 3%. Express this tolerance in ohms and state the
actual range of resistance.

Answers

Answer:

Range =  4365-4635

Step-by-step explanation:

4500 * 3/100 = 135

4500 + 135  = 4635

4500 - 135  = 4365

Range =  4365-4635

The actual range of resistance is from 4365 ohms to 4635 ohms.

How to determine the tolerance in ohms and state the actual range of resistance.

To express the tolerance in ohms, we need to calculate 3% of the rated resistance, which is 4500 ohms.

Tolerance in ohms = 3% of 4500 ohms

Tolerance in ohms = 0.03 * 4500

Tolerance in ohms = 135 ohms

The actual range of resistance can be found by adding and subtracting the tolerance from the rated resistance:

Lower limit = Rated resistance - Tolerance

Lower limit = 4500 ohms - 135 ohms

Lower limit = 4365 ohms

Upper limit = Rated resistance + Tolerance

Upper limit = 4500 ohms + 135 ohms

Upper limit = 4635 ohms

So, the actual range of resistance is from 4365 ohms to 4635 ohms.

Answers

The equation which represents the lower unit rate of these two relationships is y = 2x/11.

How to determine the equation?

In order to determine the equation which represents the lower unit rate of these two relationships, we would find the slope of the given points.

Mathematically, the slope of a straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

[tex]Slope = \frac{Change\;in\;y\;axis}{Change\;in\;x\;axis}\\\\Slope = \frac{y_2\;-\;y_1}{x_2\;-\;x_1}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Slope = \frac{6\;-\;4}{33\;-\;22}\\\\Slope = \frac{2}{11}[/tex]

Slope = 2/11.

From the standard equation, we have:

y = mx + c

y = 2x/11 + 0

y = 2x/11.

y1. = (-1)

y2 =(-3)

putting the value of this in the formula we get,

m = (-3+1)/8 + 2.

m = (-2)/10

m = (-1)/5.

m = (-1)/5

y = 2x + 6 and y = x + 51
y = 2x + 6 and x + y = 51
y = 2(x + 6) and x + y = 51

Answers

Answer:

y = 2x + 6 and y + x = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

the first number is y

the second number is X

" 6 is more than" implying +

"6 is more than twice another" implying y = 6 + 2 multiples by the second number "X"

their sum is equal to 51

add first and the second number

that is

y+x = 51

so we have

y = 6+2x and y +x = 51

You are choosing between two different cell phone plans. The first plan charges a rate of
21 cents per minute. The second plan charges a monthly fee of $44.95 plus 11 cents per
minute. How many minutes would you have to use in a month in order for the second
plan to be preferable?

Answers

Answer:

at least 450 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Find an expression for the cost of each plan as a function of the number of minutes. Set the expressions equal to each other, and solve for the number of minutes.

Let x = number of minutes.

First plan:

cost (in dollars) = 0.21x

Second plan:

cost (in dollars) = 0.11x + 44.95

Set the expressions equal:

0.21x = 0.11x + 44.95

Subtract 0.11x from both sides.

0.1x = 44.95

Divide both sides by 0.1

x = 44.95/0.1

x = 449.5

Since you cannot have a fraction of a minute, the answer is 450 minutes.

Find:  [tex]\textsf{Solve for the unknown side of x}[/tex]

Solution:  In order to determine the length of x we need to use some trigonometric functions.  Using Soh Cah Toa we can see that we can either use 30 degrees or 60 degrees.  We will stick to 60 and we can see that the opposite side is 3 and the hypotenuse is x meaning that we need to use sin.  Plug in the values and solve for the unknown.

Plug in the values

[tex]\textsf{sin(30) = }\frac{\textsf{opposite}}{\textsf{hypotenuse}}[/tex][tex]\textsf{sin(30) = }\frac{\textsf{3}}{\textsf{x}}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by x

[tex]\textsf{sin(30) * x = }\frac{\textsf{3}}{\textsf{x}}\textsf{ * x}[/tex][tex]\textsf{sin(30) * x = 3}[/tex]

Divide both sides by sin(30)

[tex]\textsf{sin(30) * x}*\frac{1}{\textsf{sin(30)}}\textsf{ = 3}}*\frac{1}{\textsf{sin(30)}}[/tex][tex]\textsf{x = 3}}*\frac{1}{\textsf{sin(30)}}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\textsf{x = 3}}*\frac{1}{\textsf{0.5}}[/tex][tex]\textsf{x = 6}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of the unknown variable x is 6 units.
