Suppose \(p\) and \(q\) are polynomials of degree 3 such that \(p(1)=q(1), p(2)=q(2), p(3)=q(3),\) and \(p(4)=q(4) .\) Explain why \(p=q\).
A new snack shop on campus finds that the number of students following it on Twitter at the end of each of its first five weeks in business is 23,89,223 , \(419,\) and \(647 .\) A clever employee discovers that the number of students following the new snack shop on Twitter after \(w\) weeks is \(p(w),\) where \(p\) is defined by $$p(w)=7+3 w+5 w^{2}+9 w^{3}-w^{4}$$ Indeed, with \(p\) defined as above, we have \(p(1)=23,\) \(p(2)=89, p(3)=223, p(4)=419,\) and \(p(5)=647\) Explain why the polynomial \(p\) defined above cannot give accurate predictions for the number of followers on Twitter for weeks far into the future.
Show that if \(p\) and \(q\) are nonzero polynomials with \(\operatorname{deg} p<\operatorname{deg} q,\) then \(\operatorname{deg}(p+q)=\operatorname{deg} q\).
Write the domain of the given function \(r\) as a union of intervals. $$ r(x)=\frac{5 x^{3}-12 x^{2}+13}{x^{2}-7} $$
Write the indicated expression as a ratio of polynomials, assuming that $$ r(x)=\frac{3 x+4}{x^{2}+1}, \quad s(x)=\frac{x^{2}+2}{2 x-1}, \quad t(x)=\frac{5}{4 x^{3}+3} $$. $$ (r(x))^{2} t(x) $$
