- (a) Give the general form of polynomial function P of degree n. (b) What does it mean to say that c is a zero of P? Give two equivalent conditions that tell us that c is a zero of P.arrow_forwardWrite a fourth degree polynomial function with real coefficients and the given zeros. i,1iarrow_forwardPoiseuilles Law for Rate of Fluid Flow Poiseuilles law for the rate of flow of a fluid through a tube is a fourth-order polynomial that is also a power function: F=cR4, where F is the flow rate measured as a volume per unit time, c is a constant, and R is the radius of the tube. a. Assume that R increases by 10. Explain why F increases by 46.41. Hint: Consider 1.10 raised to the fourth power. b. What is the flow rate through a 3/4inch pipe compared with that through a 1/2inch pipe? c. Suppose that an artery supplying blood to the heart muscle see Figure 5.86 is partially blocked and is only half its normal radius. What percentage of the usual blood will flow through the partially blocked artery?arrow_forward
- DISCOVER: Nested Form of a Polynomial Expand Q to prove that the polynomials P and Q are the same. P(x)=3x45x3+x23x+5 Q(x)=(((3x5)x+1)x3)x+5 Try to evaluate P(2) and Q(2) in your head, using the forms given. Which is easier? Now write the polynomial R(x)=x52x4+3x32x2+3x+4 in nested form, like the polynomial Q. Use the nested form to find R(3) in your head. Do you see how calculating with the nested form follows the same arithmetic steps as calculating the value of a polynomial using synthetic division?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 2-6, fill in the blanks. The Theorem states that a polynomial f(x)has a factor (xk)if and only if f(k)=0.arrow_forwardThe quadratic function f(x)=a(xh)2+k is in standard form. (a) The graph of f is a parabola with vertex(____,____). (b) If a > 0, graph of f opens _____. In this case f(h) = k is the _________value of f. (c) If a < 0, graph of f opens _____. In this case f(h) = k is the______valueof f.arrow_forward
