The graphed polynomial seems to have a degree of 2, so the degree can be 4 and not 5.

<h3>Could the graphed function have a degree 4?</h3>

For a polynomial of degree N, we have (N - 1) changes of curvature.

This means that a quadratic function (degree 2) has only one change (like in the graph).

Then for a cubic function (degree 3) there are two, and so on.

So. a polynomial of degree 4 should have 3 changes. Naturally, if the coefficients of the powers 4 and 3 are really small, the function will behave like a quadratic for smaller values of x, but for larger values of x the terms of higher power will affect more, while here we only see that as x grows, the arms of the graph only go upwards (we don't know what happens after).

Then we can write:

y = a*x^4 + c*x^2 + d

That is a polynomial of degree 4, but if we choose x^2 = u

y = a*u^2 + c*u + d

So it is equivalent to a quadratic polynomial.

Then the graph can represent a function of degree 4 (but not 5, as we can't perform the same trick with an odd power).

Joshua's family took a road trip to Mount Rushmore. Joshua fell asleep 35% of the way through the trip. If the total length of t
stiks02 [169]
You need to calculate 35% of 400.

The way I do this on paper is I split it up into chunks and then add the chunks together.

First I would calculate 10%. To do this, divide 400 by 10, because to get from 100% to 10% you must divide by 10.

So 10% = 40

You need 30%, so you just multiply by 3, because to get from 10% to 30%, you multiply by 3.

So 30% = 120

5% is half of 10% so half of 40 is 20.

So 5% = 20

30% + 5% = 35%

120 + 20 = 140

So they had traveled 140 miles when Joshua fell asleep. Hope this helps :)

Choose the explicit and recursive formulas for the geometric sequence 45, 135, 405, 1215, 3645, .... PLEASE HELP ASAP
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is 45, 135, 405, 1215, 3645..........

Since it's a geometric sequence,

Common ratio of each successive term to the previous term

r = \frac{135}{45}=3

First term of the sequence 'a' = 45

Explicit formula of a geometric sequence will be,

a_n=a(r)^{n-1}

a_n=45(3)^{n-1}

Recursive formula of this sequence will be,

a_n=3(a_{n-1}), a_1=45

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
