Factorization and Curve Analysis in Mathematics

The document presents a mathematical problem involving the polynomial f(x) = x^(2n) - (p+1)x² + p, demonstrating that (x-1) is a factor for all p values. It also requires finding n when p=4 such that (x+2) is a factor and fully factorizing f(x). Additionally, it discusses the maximum value of another function f(x) = 10 + 8x - 2x² and includes a geometric problem involving semi-circles and a circle, asking for the radius of the largest semi-circle and the radius of the circle.
