Write the general polynomial p(x) if its only zeros are 1,4, and -3, with multiplicities 3,2, and 1, respectively. What is its degree? Find p(x) precisely if p(0)=16.

--- General polynomial

The degree is 6

--- The polynomial precisely

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

--- zeros

--- multiplicities

Solving (a): The polynomial

The polynomial is represented as:

So, we have:

Include constant k; So, the polynomial becomes

Solving (b): The degree (d)

To do this, add up the multiplicities

The degree is 6

Solving (c): The actual polynomial

In (a), we have:

means:

This gives:

Solve for k

So:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
