Answers
Answer:
a.-13/3 will answer of this question
The correct question is
A quartic polynomial f(x) has 2 rational roots at (2,0) and (-1,0) and root at (-1±√3,0) if f(-2) is -2, then what is f(3) a) (-13/3) b) (13) c) (13/3) d) -(-13) e)answer is not there
Concept
In algebra, a quartic function is a function of the form f(x)=ax^{4}+bx^{3}+cx^{2}+dx+e, where a is nonzero, which is defined by a polynomial of degree four, called a quartic polynomial.
Given
It is given that a quartic polynomial f(x) has 2 rational roots at (2,0) and (-1,0) and root at (-1±√3,0) and f(-2) is -2
Find
We need to find the value of f(3)
Solution
2,-1,-1+√3,-1-√3 are roots of Quartic polynomial
Then Quartic polynomial is given by
f(x) = A (x-2) (x+1) (x+1-√3) (x+1+√3)
f(x)=A (x-2) (x+1) ((x+1)^2 - 3)
f(-2) =A (-2-2) (-2+1) ((-2+1)^2 -3)
-2= A(-4)(-1)(-2)
A=-2/(-8)
A=1/4
Thus, the Quartic polynomial is
f(x)=(1/4) (x-2) (x+1) ((x+1)^2 - 3)
f(3)=(1/4) (3-2) (3+1) ((3+1)^2 -3)
f(3)=(1/4) (1) (4) (13)
f(3)= 13
Hence the value of f(3) is 13
