If P (x) = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e has roots at x= 1,2,3 and 4, and P(0) = 48, what is P(5) ?
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- ans-48
(x-1) * (x-2) *(x-3) *(x-4) the four root
so p(0)= -1*-2*-3*-4 = 24 so we need 24
that p(x) =(x-1) * (x-2) *(x-3) *(x-4) +24
p(5)= (5-1) * (5-2) *(5-3) *(5-4)+24 = 48

- -b/a=1+2+3+4=10
c/a=(1*2)+(1*3)(1*4)+(2*3)+(2*4)+(3*4)=35
-d/a=(1*2*3)+(1*3*4)+(2*3*4)+(3*4*1)=54
e/a=1*2*3*4=24
p(0)=e=48
a=e/24=2
b=-20
c=70
d=-108
p(5)=2(5^4)-20(5^3)+70(5^2)-108(5)+48=8
