Let the leading term of the polynomial, f(x), be axⁿ.
Examine the possibilities.
n a x -> - ∞ x -> +∞
------- ---- ----------- ------------
even a>0 f -> +∞ f -> +∞ Not true
even a<0 f-> - ∞ f-> -∞ True
odd a>0 f-> -∞ f-> +∞ Not true
odd a<0 f-> +∞ f-> -∞ Not true
Answer:
(a) the degree of the polynomial is even, and
(b) the coefficient of the leading term is negative.
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
slope = -3 -1 / 0 + 2
slope = -4 / 2
simplify = -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the appropriate procedures, the outcome of the construction would be what is in the attachment.
The straight line joining the intersections of the two arcs is exactly on the bisector of the diameter of the circle.
