option D

x^4 + 6x^3 + 33x^2 + 150x + 200 = (x+2)(x+4)(x^2 +25)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since no factors are mentioned at all. We use trial and error method to find a root of the polynomial.

Step 1 :

For that we will consider the factors of 200 :

± 1 , ±2, ± 4, ±5, ±8, ±10, ±20, ±25, ±40, ±50, ±100, ±200

$Let \ f(x) = x^4 + 6x^3 + 33x^2 + 150x +200\\\\$

f ( -1 ) = (-1)⁴ + 6 (-1)³ + 33(-1)² + 150(-1) + 200

= 1 - 6 + 33 - 150 + 200

= 78 ≠ 0

So - 1 is not a root.

f ( - 2) = ( -2)⁴ + 6( - 2 )³ + 33 (- 2) ² + 150 (- 2) + 200

= 16 - 48 + 132 - 300 + 200

= 0

Therefore - 2 is a root of f( x ) and ( x + 2) is a factor of f( x) .

Step 2

Now we will use synthetic division to find other factors.

-2 | 1 6 33 150 200

| 0 -2 -8 -50 -200

|_______________________________

1 4 25 100 0

$f(x) = x^4 + 6x^3 + 33x^2 + 150x + 200 \\\\f(x) = ( x^3 + 4x^2 + 25x + 100)(x + 2)$

We will use trial and error method again to further factorize the equation

g(x) = x³ + 4x² + 25x +100.

Proceed as in step 1

Consider the factors of 100 to find the root.

Factors of 100 :±1, ±2, ±4 , ±5 , ±8, ±10 , ± 20, ±25, ± 50, ±100

g( - 4) = ( -4)³ + 4 ( -4)² + 25(-4) + 100

= - 64 + 64 - 100 + 100

= 0

Therefore - 4 is a root of g(x) , that means (x + 4) is a factor.

Now we will use synthetic division :

- 4 | 1 4 25 100

| 0 -4 0 -100

|_____________________

1 0 25 0

Therefore g(x) = ( x² + 0x + 25)(x + 4)

= ( x² + 25 )( x + 4)

Therefore the factorized form of

x⁴ + 6x³ + 33x² + 150x + 200 = (x + 2)(x³ + 4x² + 25x + 100)

= ( x + 2 )( x + 4 )( x² + 25)

Answer from: Quest

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

Martha has a deck of cards. she has lost some of the cards, and now the deck only contains nine spades, eleven diamonds, eight clubs, and twelve hearts. martha predicts that whenever she draws a card from the deck without looking, she will draw a club one-fifth of the time. which activity would best allow martha to test her prediction? a. randomly draw a card from the box and see if it is a club. b. randomly draw a card. then, continue to draw another card until all eight clubs are drawn. c. randomly draw and replace a card 120 times. then, observe how close to 30 times a club is drawn. d. randomly draw and replace a card 100 times. then, observe how close to 20 times a club is drawn.
