A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marina traced the map onto a coordinate plane to find the exact location of the treasure. X = (StartFraction m Over m n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) x 1 y = (StartFraction m Over m n EndFraction) (y 2 minus y 1) y 1 What are the coordinates of the treasure? If necessary, round the coordinates to the nearest tenth. (11. 4, 14. 2) (7. 6, 8. 8) (5. 7, 7. 5) (10. 2, 12. 6).

correct answer is b. 27/8

step-by-step explanation:

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
