a polynomial has one quadratic factor and 3 linear factors. One of the linear factors has multiplicity two. What is the degree of the polynomial

5

Step-by-step explanation:

a polynomial has one quadratic factor and 3 linear factors. One of the linear factors has multiplicity two. What is the degree of the polynomial

A polynomial with one quadratic obtains the forms ( ax² +bx +c ) with 3 linear factors.

Suppose the three linear fractions are :

(x- P) (x-Q) (x- R)

∴

The polynomial = ( ax² +bx +c )(x- P) (x-Q) (x- R)

By factorization, the highest degree of the polynomial = 5

no its the same as every other grade

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
