Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the y-values corresponding to x-values of 0 and 1, then plot those points and draw a line through them.
For x=0, ...
y = -4·0 -1 = -1 . . . . the point is (0, -1) . . . the y-intercept
For x=1, ...
y = -4·1 -1 = -5 . . . . the point is (1, -5)
The attached graph shows these points and the line through them.
G(x) = f(x) +5
= 4^x -6 +5
= 4^x -1
The 3rd selection is appropriate.
If there are real roots to be found for this polynomial, the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division are the best way to find them. I teach from a book that uses c and d for the possible roots of the polynomial. C is our constant, 2, and d is the leading coefficient, 1. The factors of 2 are +/- 1 and +/-2. The factors for 1 are +/-1 only. Meaning, in all, there are 4 possibilities as roots for this polynomial. But there are only 3 total (because our polynomial is a third degree), so we have to find the first one, at least, from our possibilities above. Let's try x = -1, factor form (x + 1). If there is no remainder when we do the synthetic division, then -1 is a root. Put -1 outside the "box" and the coefficients from the polynomial inside: -1 (1 2 -1 -2). Bring down the first coefficient of 1 and multiply it by the -1 outside to get -1. Put that -1 up under the 2 and add to get 1. Multiply 1 times the -1 to get -1 and put that -1 up under the -1 and add to get -2. -1 times -2 is 2, and -2 + 2 = 0. So we have our first root of (x+1). The numbers we get when we do the addition along the way are the coefficients of our new polynomial, the depressed polynomial (NOT a sad one cuz it hates math, but a new polynomial that is one degree less than that of which we started!). The new polynomial is
. That can also be factored to find the remaining 2 roots. Use standard factoring to find that the other 2 solutions are (x+2) and (x-1). Our solutions then are x = -2, -1, 1, choice B from above.

Answer:
16%
Step-by-step explanation:
16 + 84 is equal to 100 students in total. 16 students (the number of students that are taking health) / 100 students (the total student body) equals .16, or 16%.
