Chapter 6.6, Problem 31PPS

a.

To determine

To calculate: the depressed polynomial.

Answer to Problem 31PPS

The depressed polynomial is $-9x^4+50x^3+51x^2-150x-72$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $f(x)=-9x^5+104x^4-249x^3-456x^2+828x+432$

Formula used:

Synthetic Substitution :- Synthetic division is used to find the value of a function.

Factor Theorem :- The binomial $x-r$ is a factor of the polynomial $P(x)$ if and only if $P(r)=0$ .

Remainder Theorem:- If a polynomial $P(x)$ is divided by $x-r$ , the remainder s a constant $P(r)$ , and $P(x)=Q(x)(x-r)+P(r)$ ,

Where $Q(x)$ is a polynomial with degree one less than $P(x)$ .

Calculation:

Consider ,

  $f(x)=-9x^5+104x^4-249x^3-456x^2+828x+432$

Since, the binomial $x-6$ is a factor of the polynomial by using Synthetic division we get,

  $\begin{array}{l}\overline{)6}\begin{array}{cccc}-9& 104& -\text{249}& \begin{array}{cc}-\text{456}& \begin{array}{cc}\text{ 828}& \text{ 43}2\end{array}\end{array}\end{array}\\ \begin{array}{cccc}-\text{5}4& 300& 306& \begin{array}{cc}-900& -432\end{array}\end{array}\\ \overline{\begin{array}{cccc}-9& 50& 51& \begin{array}{cc}-150& -72\end{array}\end{array}\hspace{.2em}|}\begin{array}{c}\text{ 0}\end{array}\end{array}$

Thus, the remainder is zero. The polynomial $-9x^5+104x^4-249x^3-456x^2+828x+432$ can be factored as $(x-6)(-9x^4+50x^3+51x^2-150x-72)$ .

The polynomial $-9x^4+50x^3+51x^2-150x-72$ is the depressed polynomial.

Direct Substitution :- The method is used to find the value of a function.

Factor Theorem :- The binomial $x-r$ is a factor of the polynomial $P(x)$ if and only if $P(r)=0$ .

Proof:

Observing the table we concluded that -

With the change in sign there exists a zero between values of $x=-2\text{ and }x=-1$ ; $x=-1\text{ and }x=0$ . Also at value of $x=6$ the value is zero.
