Answer:

We know that P(x) = 30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1

a) If (3x - 1) is a factor, let's find the value of k.

Because the degree of the original polynomial is 3, and the degree of the factor is 1, we should multiply it by a polynomial of degree 2.

Then:

30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1 = (3*x - 1)*(a*x^2 + b*x + c)

30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1  = 3*a*x^3 + 3*b*x^2 + 3*c*x - a*x^2 - b*x - c

30*x^3 + k*x^2 + 1 = 3*a*x^3 + (3*b - a)*x^2 + (3*c - b)*x - c

The terms with the same exponent should be equal, then:

30*x^3 = 3*a*x^3

30 = 3*a

30/3 = a = 10

k*x^2 = (3*b - a)*x^2

k = (3*b - 10)  

0*x = (3*c - b)*x

0 = (3*c - b)

b = 3*c

and

1 = -c

then:

c = -1

Replacing this in the equation: b = 3*c

we get: b = -3

Replacing this in the equation for k, we get:

k = (3*b - 10) = (3*-3 - 10) = -19

k = -19

And we can write:

P(x) = (3*x - 1)*(10*x^2 - 3*x - 1)

b) Now we want to write P(x) as a product of its linear factors.

Then we need to factorize the quadratic part:

We need to solve

10*x^2 - 3*x - 1 = 0

We can use the Bhaskara's equation to get the solutions:

[tex]x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4*10*(-1)} }{2*10} = \frac{3 \pm 7}{10}[/tex]

Then the two zeros of that polynomial are

x = (3 + 7)/10 = 1

x = (3 - 7)/10 = - 4/10 = -2/5

So we can write the polynomial as:

10*(x - 1)*(x - (-2/5))

Replacing this in the equation of P(x) we get:

P(x) = (3*x - 1)*10*(x -1)*(x + 2/5)

     = 10* (3*x - 1)*(x -1)*(x + 2/5)

So P(x) is written as a product of lineal factors.

C) The zeros of the polynomial are the values of x such that one of the factors becomes equal to zero.

For the first factor, we have a zero at x = 1/3

for the second, we have a zero at x = 1

for the third one, we have a zero at  x = -2/5

Answer:

1: 9

2: i dont know sorry

3: 21/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1: know that the bottom portion of the triangle is 18  the bottom left is 12 and the top left is 6. Now you could say that its six because they look the same size but we cant be sure, and six isnt an option. i dont know how to solve so we're using process of elimination so bare with me. we alread have 12 and 18 and theyre way bigger, it cant be 11 because it wouldnt be that small. so in my mind its 9.  

2:  n/A

3: because i said so

Answer:

#1

AQ/QC = AP/PBAQ / 18 = 6 / 12AQ = 18/2AQ = 9

Option D

#2

x/ 12 = 10 / 24x = 12*10/24x = 5

#3

(x - 8)/5 = 2/42(x - 8) = 52x - 16 = 52x = 21x = 21/2

D

Answers

Answer:

I am going to assume that D's expression is actually $2.99+$3.19+$2.59+(-$0.25)+(-$0.40)

= $6.18+$2.59-$0.25-$0.40 [Note: (+)*(-)=(-)]

=$8.77-$0.25-$0.40

=$8.52-$0.40

=$8.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices of the loaf bread, a jar of peanut butter and 3 pounds of apples will be added. The value of the coupons will be then reduced from the total to get the final total.

What is the best approximation of the length of the radius in a circle with an area of 167 m2?

a. 4.6 meters
b.4.0 meters
c. 2.3 meters
d.5.1 meters

Answers

Answer:

r = 7.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (pi)(radius)^2, so, if A = 167 m^2, r^2 is found as follows:

       

         167 m^2

r^2 = -------------- = 53.158 m^2

              3.14

Taking the square root of both sides, we get

r = 7.3 m

This is correct, because A = (pi)(radius)^2 becomes (3.14)(7.3 m)^2 = 167.4 m^2

Answer:

He is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x + 1) - 5 = 3x - 2 ← simplify left side

3x + 3 - 5 = 3x - 2

3x - 2 = 3x - 2

Since both sides are equal, then this indicates that the equation has infinite solutions.
