You still need to factor it?

Algebra Level 3

f ( x ) = x 6 10 x 5 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 f(x)=x^{6}-10x^{5}-10x^{4}-10x^{3}-10x^{2}-10x +10

What is the value of f ( 11 ) f(11) ?

21 1 31 11 22

f ( x ) = x 6 10 x 5 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 = 11 x 5 10 x 5 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 = 11 x 4 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 = 11 x 3 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 = 11 x 2 10 x 2 10 x + 10 = 11 x 10 x + 10 = 11 + 10 = 21 \begin{aligned} f(x) & =x^6-10x^5-10x^4-10x^3 - 10x^2 - 10x+10 \\ & = 11x^5-10x^5-10x^4-10x^3 - 10x^2 - 10x+10 \\ & = 11x^4-10x^4-10x^3 - 10x^2 - 10x+10 \\ & = 11x^3 -10x^3 - 10x^2 - 10x+10 \\ & = 11x^2 - 10x^2 - 10x+10 \\ & = 11x - 10x+10 \\ & = 11+10 \\ & =\boxed {21} \end{aligned}

W e h a v e , We\ have, f ( x ) = x 6 10 x 5 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 f\left(x\right)=x^6-10x^5-10x^4-10x^3-10x^2-10x+10 f ( x ) = x 6 10 ( x 5 + x 4 + x 3 + x 2 + x ) + 10 f\left(x\right)=x^6-10\left(x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+x\right)+10 A s ( x 5 + x 4 + x 3 + x 2 + x ) i s a g e o m e t r i c p r o g r e s s i o n , As\ \left(x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+x\right)\ is\ a\ geometric\ progression, f ( x ) = x 6 10 ( x ( x 5 1 ) ( x 1 ) ) + 10 f\left(x\right)=x^6-10\left(\frac{x\left(x^5-1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)}\right)+10 N o w b y p u t t i n g v a l u e s , Now\ by\ putting\ values, f ( 11 ) = 1 1 6 10 ( ( 1 1 6 11 ) ( 11 1 ) ) + 10 f\left(11\right)=11^6-10\left(\frac{\left(11^6-11\right)}{\left(11-1\right)}\right)+10 f ( 11 ) = 1 1 6 1 1 6 + 11 + 10 f\left(11\right)=11^6-11^6+11+10 f ( 11 ) = 21 f\left(11\right)=21 H e n c e t h e v a l u e o f f ( 11 ) = 21. Hence\ the\ value\ of\ f\left(11\right)=21.

Solution is good, but if u use a calculator we get 131 131 as the answer...IE

1771561 1610510 146410 13310 1210 + 10 1771561-1610510-146410-13310-1210+10 = 131 131

Please check if there is any mistake... But I'm quite sure that this is correct too...

I'm sorry....yep...I had missed that...

You had missed 110 -110\ after 1210 -1210\ . That's why your answer is coming wrong.

Here we get f ( x ) = x 6 10 x 5 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 f(x)=x^{6}-10x^{5}-10x^{4}-10x^{3}-10x^{2}-10x+10 . Now taking like this

f ( x ) = x 5 ( x 10 ) 10 x 4 10 x 3 10 x 2 10 x + 10 f(x)=x^5(x-10)-10x^{4}-10x^{3}-10x^{2}-10x+10 and putting values for the first bracket. Now if we continue this thing at last we will get x + 10 x+10 and that is 11 + 10 = 21 11+ 10 = 21
