- Z4×Z6 has an element of order 24. true or false ?arrow_forwardFind a polynomial y = p(x) of degree 4 that goes through the points (0, 4), (1, 2), (2, -4), (3, -8), (4, 8).arrow_forwardUse synthetic division to show that when xn-bn is divided by x-b, where n is a positive integer, the other factor is xn-1+xn-2b+xn-3b2+....+xbn-2+bn-1arrow_forward
- Show that an = 1/2n + 1 is decreasing.arrow_forwardFind the polynomial in x of the third degree, which vanishes when x=-1 and x=2 has the value 8 when x= 0 and leaves the reminder 16/3 when divided by 3x+2.arrow_forwardfind n∈ℕ is the polynomial f(x)=x2n +xn+1 divisible by g(x)=x2 +x+1?arrow_forward
- HENCE, write down the polynomial f(x) in the form f(x) = d(x) multiply q(x) + r(x), where q(x) is the quotient obtained above, and r(x) is the remainder.arrow_forwardThe opening value of a stock index on the first day of trading from 1994 to 2010 can be modeled using the following polynomial: N(t)=11.8690t^3+20.3119t^2+22.0273t+757.2156N(t)=11.8690t3+20.3119t2+22.0273t+757.2156 where tt is time in years since 1994. What is the y-intercept and what does this tell you in practical terms? I think that the answer is: The y-intercept is 757.22, which tells me that is what the opening value of a stock index on the first day of trading. What does this model tell you is the opening value of the stock index on the first day of trading in 2004? (15,108 is the actual number for that year).arrow_forwardShow that when x increases from 1 to 1.25 and when it increases from 2.75 to 3, the value k of grows by the same factor.arrow_forward
