What is an leading coefficient?

The numbers placed in front of the variable with the biggest exponent are known as leading coefficients. They can be whole numbers, fractions, or decimals, as well as positive, negative, real, or imaginary, just like conventional coefficients.

According to fundamental theorem of algebra , if a + bi be a zero of a polynomial with real coefficients then a-bi is also a zero

Now given that f(x) be a polynomial with degree 5 and with zeros -7,-i,-3+i

and f(x) be a polynomial with real coefficients.

therefore by fundamental theorem of algebra

+i and -3-i are also zeros of f(x)

so zeros of f(x) are 7, -i, -3 + i, i, -3 -i

Degree is 5, so there is at most 5 zeros therefore the required polynomial will be

f(x) = a(x + 7)(x + i )(x - i)(x +3- i)(x +3 +i)

= a[(x +7)(x² + 1)(x² +6x + 10)]

[tex]= a\left[x^5+ 13x^4 + 53x^3 +83x^2 + 52x + 70]\right[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = a(x^5+13x^4+53x^3+83x^2+52x+70)[/tex]

Applications of Compound interest:

Compound interest is an interest that is calculated on the principal and the interest accumulated over the previous period. The concept of compound interest can be used in different types of situations like an Increase in population or a decrease in population, Depreciation, or increasing the value of an item, etc.

The formula for compound interest is given by

Total amount, A = P(1 + r/n)^nt  

where  P = initial amount

r = rate of increase              

n = number of compounds in year

t = time period in years

Here we have,

The rate of increase in sales r = 2.7% (per monthly)  

=> r = 2.7/100 = 0.027

Here sales are increased monthly

then the number of compounds per year = 12

Sales in this month, P = 65000  

From above formula

Sales in 1 year, A = 65000(1 + 0.027/12)¹²

= 65,000(1 + 0.00225)¹²

= 66,776.88

The price that yields maximum revenue is equal to $99. Also, the maximum revenue is equal to $490,050.

In order to determine the price that would yield the maximum revenue, we have to find the derivative of the revenue function R(p) by applying the Power Rule.

Mathematically, the revenue function, R(p) is given by this mathematical expression:

Revenue function, R(p) = NP

Where:

Let the variable n represent the number of reductions in the price. Therefore, we have:

N = 3,400 + 50n    ....equation 1.

P = 130 - n

n = 130 - P

From equation 1, we have:

N = 3,400 + 50(130 - P)

N = 3,400 + 6,500 - 50P

Next, we would re-write the revenue function R(p) as follows:

Revenue function, R(p) = (3,400 + 6,500 - 50P)P

Revenue function, R(p) = 3,400P + 6,500P - 50P²

Revenue function, R(p) = 9,900P - 50P²

Taking the derivative of R(p), we have:

R'(p) = 9,900 - 100P

100P = 9,900

Price, P = 9,900/100

Price, P = $99

For the the maximum revenue, we have:

Maximum revenue, R(p) = 9,900P - 50P²

Maximum revenue, R(p) = 9,900(99) - 50(99)²

Maximum revenue, R(p) = 980,100 - 490,050

Maximum revenue, R(p) = $490,050.

[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.5)^{7}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.1172[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.5)^{8}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0440[/tex]

Answer:  7 4/10 + 2/10 = 38/5 = 7 3/5 = 7.6

Answer Overall : 38/5

Step-by-step explanation:  Conversion a mixed number 7 4/10 to a improper fraction: 7 4/10 = 7 4/10 = 7 · 10 + 4/10= 70 + 4/10= 74/10

To find a new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 7 by the denominator 10. Whole number 7 equally 7 * 10/10 = 70/10

b) Add the answer from previous step 70 to the numerator 4. New numerator is 70 + 4 = 74

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 74) over the denominator 10.

Seven and four tenths is seventy-four tenths

Add: 74/10 + 2/10 = 74 + 2/10 = 76/10 = 2 · 38/2 · 5 = 38/5

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(10, 10) = 10. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 10 × 10 = 100. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 2 gives 38/5.

In other words - seventy-four tenths plus two tenths is thirty-eight fifths.

First convert the mixed number to a fraction by multiplying 7 by 10 and adding 4

add them together but DONT add the denominators

These numbers can be simplified by 2 so the final answer is:

where n = number of minute

Since the customer spends $267.00 on a plane ride, this will be:

C = = 33.00 + $1.20m

33 + 1.2m = 267

The image after a 270 rotation is (4, -3)

If the point of rotation is not the origin, the steps are as follows:

1. Subtract the point of rotation off each vertex point of

the shape

2. Rotate as you would around the origin

3. Add the point of rotation back to each vertex point of

the shape

Given: R(1, 2) after a 270 rotation about (0, - 2)

step1: (1-0, 2-(-2)) = (1, 4)

step 2: For rotation about the origin through 270°, the image is (y, -x). Thus, (1, 4) => (4, -1)

step 3: (4, -1) => (4+0, -1+(-2) ) = (4, -3)

Answer:

In the first one you should write: 6, because the test tells you that in 6 minutes she runs 3/4miles.

So in 12 minutes she runs (3/4miles)*2. (basically 3/4 miles in the first 6 minutes, and other 3/4 miles in the remaining 6munutes).

So in the second space you can write 12, and on the right 2*(3/4), which is... (3/2).

To find the equation:

3/4 = 6

(3/4)*2= 6*2

so we know that in 1 minute we do 1/8miles, and now we have our formula. (1/8)*6=1*6

the formula is: y(miles) =(1/8)*x

in fact is x=6 minutes, y= (1/8)*6, so y=3/4.

Measure of largest. smallest and middle angle of a triangle under given conditions is 145°, 15° and 20° respectively.

What is angle sum property of a triangle?

Angle sum property of triangle states that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

According to the given question:

Let the measure of middle angle = x

The measure of the smallest angle is three-quarters the measure of the middle angle.

∴ Smallest angle = (3/4)x

The measure of the largest angle in a triangle is 110° larger than the sum of the measures of the other two angles.

∴ Largest angle = 110° + x + (3/4)x

Now, by Angle sum property of a triangle

x + (3/4)x + 110° + x + (3/4)x = 180°

On solving for the value of x we get

2x + (3/2)x = 70°

7x = 140°

x = 20°

Therefore,

measure of middle angle x = 20°

measure of smallest angle (3/4)x = 15°

measure of the largest angle 110° + x + (3/4)x = 145°

The area of the plot is 193 sq.yd.

Area is defined as the total space taken up by a flat (2-D) surface or shape of an object.

Given that, A developer buys an empty lot to build a small house.

To find the area, we need to be divided the figure into triangles and rectangles

Area of the first triangle = (1/2) * base * height

base = 17 unit and height = 10 unit

= (1/2) * 17 * 10

= 17*5=85 sq. unit

Area of the second triangle = (1/2)* 9* 8

=36 sq. unit

Area of the rectangle = base * height

base = 9 unit and height = 7 unit

Area = 9*7= 63 sq. unit

Area of the last triangle = (1/2) * 2*9

= 9 unit

Adding all the areas to get the area of the plot = 85+36+63+9

Hence, Area of the plot = 193 sq.yd.

Use a clock and count forward.

The slope of the line tangent to f(x) at x = 1 is -8

The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 is -8

The equation of line tangent to f(x) at x = 1 is y  = -8x + 9

The tangent line to a curve at a given point is the line which intersects the curve at the point and has the same instantaneous slope as the curve at the point.

so the slope of a line at that point is the slope of the curve at that point.

f(x) = -4[tex]x^{2}[/tex] + 5

To find the slope, we differentiate f(x) with respect to x

dy/dx  = d/dx( -4[tex]x^{2}[/tex]) + d/dx(5)

           = -8x + 0

dy/dx = -8x

The slope = -8x

at x = 1,

the slope becomes, -8(1) = -8

The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 is the same as the slope of the line tangent to f(x) = -8

The slope of the line is -8

to find the equation of the tangent line, we need to find the coordinates of the point the line touches the curve.

one of the coordinates x = 1, to find y, we substitute x into f(x)

f(x) = -4[tex](1)^{2}[/tex] + 5

f(x) = 1

so the point is (1, 1)

so equation of straight line

[tex]\frac{y - y_{1} }{x - x_{1} }[/tex] = m

y - 1/x - 1 = -8

by cross multiplying

y - 1 = -8(x - 1)

y - 1 = -8x +8

y = -8x + 9

In conclusion,

The slope o the line tangent to f(x) at x = 1 is -8

The instantaneous rate off change of f(x) at x = 1 is -8

The equation of line tangent to f(x) at x = 1 is y  = -8x + 9

According to the question,

We have the following information:

The next model of a sports car will cost 13.6% less than the current model. The current model costs $42,000.

We will find the 13.6% of 42,000 to find the decrease in the price of the next model:
