Which product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 3x4 - 81x?
3x(x - 3)(x2 - 3x - 9)
3x(x - 3)(x2 + 3x + 9)
3x(x - 3)(x - 3)(x + 3)
3x(x - 3)(x + 3)(x + 3)
Solution:
Given polynimial is 3x4 - 81x
3x4 - 81x can be written as:
3x4 - 81x = 3x(x³ - 27)
From algebraic identities, we have
a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
Therefore
x³ - 27 = x³ - (3)³ = (x - 3)(x² + 3x + (3)² )
=(x - 3)(x² + 3x + 9)
3x4 - 81x = 3x(x³ - 27) = 3x(x - 3)(x² + 3x + 9)
Which product of prime polynomials is equivalent to 3x4 - 81x?
Summary:
3x(x - 3)(x2 + 3x + 9) is the product of prime polynomials that is equivalent to 3x4 - 81x.
