Powered by AIUsing the fact that if 1 and 2 are roots, \((x-1)(x-2)\) is the polynomial. Expanding, \(x^2 - 3x + 2\) must equal \(x^2 + ax + b\). Equating coefficients gives \(a = -3\) and \(b = 2\). Verify by re-expanding \((x-1)(x-2)\) to check consistency.
The decimal expansion of a fraction like \( \frac{7}{8} \) can be determined by checking if the denominator is in the form of \( 2^n5^m \), where \( n \) and \( m \) are non-negative integers. If it is, the fraction's decimal expansion is terminating. Since 8 can be written as \( 2^3 \), \( \frac{7}{8} \) is a terminating decimal.
To determine the quadrant of a point \((-3, 2)\), you look at the signs of the x and y coordinates. The point is in the second quadrant because the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive. In the Cartesian plane, quadrants are determined by whether coordinates are positive or negative.
Using the algebraic identity \((a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\), you substitute \(a = 2x\) and \(b = 3\): \((2x + 3)^2 = (2x)^2 + 2(2x)(3) + (3)^2 = 4x^2 + 12x + 9\)
The degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of the variable that has a non-zero coefficient. For example, in the polynomial \( 4x^3 + 3x^2 + 5 \), the term with the highest power of \( x \) is \( 4x^3 \), making the degree of the polynomial 3. This indicates the highest derivative applicable to this polynomial.
To verify if a number is a zero of the polynomial \( p(x) \), substitute the number into the polynomial and simplify. If the result is zero, then the number is a zero of the polynomial. For example, to check if \( x = 2 \) is a zero of \( p(x) = x^2 - 4 \), substitute 2 to get \( 2^2 - 4 = 0 \), confirming it is a zero.
Factor \(a^3 + b^3\) using the identity \(a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\). To evaluate for specific values like \(a=2\), \(b=-1\), substitute these into the factors: \((2+(-1))(2^2 - 2(-1) + (-1)^2) = 1(4 + 2 + 1) = 7\). This applies identities to evaluate specific cases in algebra.
Expand \((2x + 3y − z)^2\) using the identity \((a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca\). Substitute \(a=2x\), \(b=3y\), \(c=-z\): \((2x)^2 + (3y)^2 + (-z)^2 + 2(2x)(3y) + 2(3y)(-z) + 2(2x)(-z) = 4x^2 + 9y^2 + z^2 + 12xy - 6yz - 4xz\). This represents a method to simplify algebraic expressions.
Identify the quadrant of points by checking the signs of their coordinates: A(2, 3) is in the first quadrant (both positive), B(-2, 3) in the second quadrant (negative x, positive y), and C(0, -4) lies on the y-axis (not in a quadrant). This highlights how point positions relate to quadrants.
The point that lies on both the x and y axes is (0, 0), known as the origin. The origin is the reference point in coordinate geometry from which all other points' positions are determined. It has significance as the intersection of the axes and is the base point from which the directions are defined.
