evaluate the polynomial function at x=-2 using direct and synthetic substitution f(x)=3x⁵-x³+6x²-x+1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-61

by both methods

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first see what the terms direct substitution and synthetic substitution mean.

Direct Substitution

In direct substitution, to find the value of a polynomial f(x) at any point x = k. we simply substitute the value of k into the polynomial function and solve for f(k)

Synthetic Substitution

In synthetic substitution we make use of the Remainder Theorem..
The Remainder Theorem states that when we divide a polynomial [tex]f(x)[/tex] by [tex]x-c[/tex], the remainder [tex]R[/tex] equals [tex]f(c)[/tex]

Solving using direct substitution

The given polynomial is

[tex]f(x) = 3x^5 - x^3 + 6x^2 - x + 1[/tex]
and we are asked to evaluate this function at [tex]x = - 2[/tex]

Using Direct Substitution,
[tex]f(-2) = =3\left(-2\right)^5-\left(-2\right)^3+6\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-2\right)+1\\\\=3\left(-32\right)-\left(-8\right)+6\left(-2\right)^2-\left(-2\right)+1\\\\=- -96 + 8 + 6(4) + 2 + 1\\=-96 + 8 + 24 + 2 + 1\\\\= -61\\\\[/tex]

Using direct substitution we get [tex]\bold{f(-2)= -61}[/tex]

Using Synthetic Substitution
Since the remainder when [tex]f(x)[/tex] is divided by [tex]x - c[/tex] is [tex]f(c)[/tex] , we will divide the polynomial [tex]f(x) = 3x^5 - x^3 + 6x^2 - x + 1[/tex] by [tex]x -(-2) = x + 2[/tex] and find out the remainder which will give f(-2)

This is the technique used in synthetic division
Step 1. Write only the coefficients of [tex]x[/tex]  in the dividend inside an upside-down division symbol. Write -2 as the divisor on the left of this row

[tex]\begin{matrix}\texttt{\:\:-2|\:\:\:3\:\:\:0\:\:-1\:\:\:6\:\:-1\:\:\:1}\\ \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\texttt{\:\:\:\:|\underline{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}}\\ \texttt{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}\end{matrix}[/tex]

Step 2
Carry down the leading coefficient as is to below the division symbol

[tex]\begin{matrix}\texttt{\:\:-2|\:\:\:3\:\:\:0\:\:-1\:\:\:6\:\:-1\:\:\:1}\\ \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\texttt{\:\:\:\:|\underline{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}}\\ \texttt{\:\:\:\:\;\;\;\;3\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}\end{matrix}[/tex]

Step 3
Multiply the above carry-down value by -2 and carry that result to the next column:
[tex]3\left(-2\right)=-6[/tex]

[tex]\begin{matrix}\texttt{\:\:\:\:\:\:-2|\:\:\:3\:\:\:\:\:\:\:0\:\:-1\:\:\:6\:\:-1\:\:\:1}\\\texttt{\:\:|\ensuremath{\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\:\:\:-6\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}}}\\\texttt{\:3\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}\end{matrix}[/tex]

Step 4

Add down the column

[tex]\begin{matrix}\texttt{\:\:\:\:\:\:-2|\:\:\:3\:\:\:\:\:\:\:0\:\:-1\:\:\:6\:\:-1\:\:\:1}\\\texttt{\:\:|\ensuremath{\underline{\;\;\;\;\;\:\:\:-6\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}}}\\\texttt{\:3\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:-6\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}\end{matrix}[/tex]

Step 5

Multiply the above carry-down value by -2 and carry that result to the next column:
(-6)(-2) = 12

2 | 3     0      -1        6     -1       1
  |        -6      12  
  -------------------------------------------------
     3    -6      


Step 6
Add down the column
-1 + 12 = 11

2 | 3     0      -1        6     -1       1
  |        -6      12    
  -------------------------------------------------
     3    -6      11

Repeat this process for the other two coefficients

The final result is

2 | 3     0      -1        6     -1       1

  |        -6      12    -22   32   -62
  -------------------------------------------------
     3    -6     11       -16   31   -61

The last carry-down value s the remainder and the value of f(-2) = - 61

Find the volume of the figure

Answers

Answer: 5 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

    We will break the figure into two different parts.

    Volume of a rectangular prism can be found with V = L * W * H

V = L * W * H

V = (2 m) * (1.5 m) * (1.5 m)

V = 4.5 m³

-

V = L * W * H

V = (2 m) * (2 m - 1.5 m) * (0.5 m)

V = 0.5 m³

    Now, we will add them together.

4.5 m³ + 0.5 m³ = 5 m³

Answer:

5m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You can picture this rectangular prism as a whole prism with a part removed.

The dimensions of the whole prism are 1.5m, 2m, and 2m.

The part cut out is 1m, 0.5m, and 2m.

We can find the volume of the whole rectangular prism and subtract the volume of the removed part.

Find the volume(1.5 * 2 * 2) - (1 * 0.5 * 2)6 - 15

Since the units of length are meters, the volume should be represented as meters³. The volume is 5m³.

kat is painting the edge of a triangular stage prop with reflective orange paint. the lengths of the edges of the triangle are (3x – 4) feet, (x2 – 1) feet, and (2x2 – 15) feet. what is the perimeter of the triangle if x

Answers

The perimeter of the triangle is 40 feet .

Kat is painting the edge of a triangular stage prop with reflective orange paint. the lengths of the edges of the triangle are (3x – 4) feet, (x2 – 1) feet, and (2x2 – 15) and x = 4

Now , According to the question:

Let the sides of triangle be a , b , c

a = 3x -4

b = x^2 -1

c = 2x^2 - 15

x = 4

Substitute the value of x in a, b , c

a = 3 × 4 -4 = 8 feet

b = 4 × 4 -1 = 15 feet

c = 2× 4× 4 - 15 = 17 feet

The perimeter of the triangle is sum of all sides

then, a + b + c

= 17 + 15 + 8 = 40 feet

Hence, The perimeter of the triangle is 40 feet .

Answers

The angle for shooting laser gun should be 89.98°.

The vertical height where a tiny but horrible alien is standing is given as 443443443 meters. The horizontal distance of a men in black agent from building is given in the question as 181818 meters. So, let us assume the angle formed to be theta (θ).

Writing the formula for tan theta, that relates the given height and distance

Now, tan θ = vertical height ÷ horizontal distance

Keep the values in above mentioned equation of theta to find the angle.

tan θ = [tex]\frac{443443443}{181818}[/tex]

Performing division to find the tan theta and subsequently calculate the angle

tan θ = 2438.94

θ = tan⁻¹ 2438.94

Calculating tan inverse to find the value of theta

θ = 89.98°

Therefore, the  angle for shooting laser gun by a men in black agent  should be 89.98°.

Answers:  Bimodal and Symmetric

Reason:

There are two mountain peaks, which show the two modes (at 0.27 and 0.31). Therefore, this data set is bimodal.

The data set is also symmetric because of the mirror line at 0.29; stuff to the left of 0.29 can be reflected over the mirror line to get the stuff on the right side.

We can rule out choice A since the curve doesn't represent a normal distribution. A normal distribution has exactly one mode only.

Choice C is ruled out because a skewed distribution isn't symmetric, and vice versa.

The data set isn't uniform since all stacks of points aren't the same height. This rules out choice E.

Given, first event getting 2 on the first roll and second event getting 4 in second roll.

So, the first roll of the die is independent of the second roll.Therefore, the probabilities can be directly multiplied.

P (getting first 2) = 1/6

Solid circles are at points (0, 0), (2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), and are connected by a solid line.Use the graph to complete the statements.For every dollar you spend, you can get pounds of grapes.For each pound of grapes, you would need $ . gold ja, rimal b, nolan a, et al. a strategy of escalating doses of benzodiazepines and phenobarbital administration reduces the need for mechanical ventilation in delirium tremens. crit care med. 2007 mar;35(3): 724-30. 7.
