What is the degree here? 2x2 + 4x - 1 - Help

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by Master

Always start with multiplication.

$2*2 + (4x) - 1\\4 * number\\number = 4\\4 * 4 = 16\\\\2 * 2 = 4\\\\4 + 16 = 20\\20 - 1 = 19$

Your answer should be 19.

The answer will always vary if you assign a different value to x, so please be careful with this in the future.

Hope this helps! Have a great day. ♣

QUESTION 16

If the demand and supply are equal, then we equate the two functions in p and solve for p.

That is

S(p)=D(p)

$400 - 4p + + 0.00002 {p}^{4} = 2800 - 0.0012 {p}^{3}$

We can rearrange to obtain,

$0.00002 {x}^{4} + 0.0012 {x}^{3} - 4x - 2400 = 0$

$2 {p}^{2} + 1200 {p}^{3} - 400000p - 240000000 = 0$

The real roots of this polynomial equation are:

$p = - 118.26 \: p = 96.24$

Since price can not be negative, we discard the negative value ,

p = 96.24

The correct answer for question 16 is C.

QUESTION 17

We were given the solution to this polynomial as

x=2,x=-4, x=1+3i

We need to recognize the presence of the complex root and treat it nicely.

There is one property about complex roots of polynomial equations called the complex conjugate property. According to this property, if

a + bi

is a solution to

p(x)

then the complex conjugate

a - bi

is also a root.

Since

x = 1 + 3i

is a solution then,

x = 1 - 3i

is also a solution.

Therefore we have

f(x) = (x - 2)(x + 4)(x - (1+3i))(x - (1 - 3i)

$f(x) = ( {x}^{2} + 4x - 2x - 8)( {x}^{2} - (1 - 3i)x - (1 + 3i)x + (1 + 3i)(1 - 3i))$

We expand to obtain,

$( {x}^{2} + 4x - 2x - 8)( {x}^{2} - x + 3xi - x - 3xi + 1 + 9)$

Note that:

${i}^{2} = - 1$

$f(x) = ( {x}^{2} + 2x - 8)( {x}^{2} - 2x + 10)$

We now expand to obtain,

$f(x) = {x}^{4} - 2 {x}^{3} + 10 {x}^{2} + 2 {x}^{3} - 4 {x }^{2} + 20x - 8 {x}^{2} + 16x - 80$

We simplify further to obtain,

$f(x) = {x}^{4} + 2 {x}^{2} + 36x - 80$

The correct answer for question 17 is A.

QUESTION 18

If

-2i

is a zero of the polynomial,

f(x)=x^4-45x^2-196

then the complex conjugate

is also a zero,

This means that ,

(x+2i), (x-2i)

are factors of the polynomial.

The product of these two factors,

(x+2i), (x-2i) =x^2-(2i)^2=x^2+4

is also a factor , so we use it to divide and get the remaining factors.

see diagram for long division.

The above polynomial can therefore factored completely as,

f(x)=(x^2+4)(x^2-49)

Applying our knowledge from difference of two squares, we obtain,

f(x)=(x+2i)(x-2i))(x-7)(x+7)

Hence all the zeroes of these polynomial can be found by setting

(x+2i)(x-2i))(x-7)(x+7)=0

This implies,

x=-2i,x=2i,x=7,x=-7

The correct answer for question 18 is B

QUESTION 19

We were asked to find the horizontal and vertical asymptote of

$f(x)=\frac{2x^2+1}{x^2-1}$

To find the horizontal asymptote, divide the term with the highest degree in the numerator by the term with the highest degree in the denominators. That is the horizontal asymptote is given by,

$y=\frac{2x^2}{x^2}=2$

For vertical asymptote, equate the denominator to zero and solve for x.

x^2-1=

$\Rightarrow x=-1, x=1$

None of the options is correct, so the correct answer for question 19 is A.

QUESTION 20

We are converting,

$\frac{5\pi}{6}$

to degrees .

To convert from radians to degrees, multiply by,

$\frac{180\degree}{\pi}$

That is,

$\frac{5\pi}{6}=\frac{5\pi}{6} \times \frac{180\degree}{\pi}$

We simplify to obtain,

$\frac{5\pi}{6}=\frac{5}{1} \times \frac{180\degree}{1}=5\times30\degree =150\degree$

The correct answer is B.

QUESTION 21

Recall the mnemonics, SOH CAH TOA

The sine ratio is given by,

$\sin(B)=\frac{21}{75}=\frac{7}{25}$

From the diagram,

$\tan(B)=\frac{21}{72}=\frac{7}{24}$

The correct answer is C.

QUESTION 22

From the above diagram, We can determine the value of x using the sine or cosine ratio, depending on where the 17 is placed.

Using the cosine ratio, we obtain,

$\cos(58\degree)=\frac{17}{x}$

We can simply switch positions to make x the subject.

$x=\frac{17}{\cos(58\degree)}$

$x=\frac{17}{0.5299}$

x=32.08

Hence the correct answer is A.

QUESTION 23

Coterminal angles have the same terminal sides.

To find coterminal angles, we keep adding or subtracting 360 degrees.

See diagram.

$x=202\degree$

is coterminal with

$202\degree +360\degree =562\degree$

or

$202\degree -360\degree =-158\degree$

The correct answer is D.

Part A) Kesley is correct

Part C) Graph attached

Part D) Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Kelsey is correct because no. of 0s in a 3rd degree polynomial be 3. which means the no. of intercepts will be 3. Thus Ray is incorrect as no. of 0s and x-intercept are similar thing.

Further a graph is attached of g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4 to describe the key features of g(x), including the end behavior. We can see that there are 3 x-intercepts at (2,0), (1,0) and (-2,0) which validates the point of Kelsey that the function can have as many as 3 zeros only because it is 3rd degree polynomial.

Part B)

As the second part of the new coaster is a parabola. To create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax2 + bx + c

finding derivative of g(x) picked in Part A) i.e.

g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4

g'(x)=3x2-2x-4

The process of obtaining the equation is similar, but it is more algebraically intensive. Given the focus (h,k) and the directrix y=mx+b, the equation for a parabola is (y - mx - b)^2 / (m^2 +1) = (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2.

1) Standard form: y = ax2 + bx + c where the a,b, and c are just numbers.

2) Factored form: y = (ax + c)(bx + d) again the a,b,c, and d are just numbers.

3) Vertex form: y = a(x + b)2 + c again the a, b, and c are just numbers.

These three main forms that we graph parabolas from are called standard form, intercept form and vertex form. Each form will give you slightly different information and have its own unique advantages and disadvantages.

Both of them can be correct because a third degree polynomial can have upto three x-intercepts and a y-intercept.

For g(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 4x + 4
the zeros are 2, -2 and 1

The vertex of a parabola is the point at which the parabola turns. A parabola is maximum when the coeficient of the leading term is negative and is manimum when it is positive.
