Ray and Kelsey have summer internships at an engineering firm. As part of their internship, they get to assist in the planning o

f a brand new roller coaster. For this assignment, you help Ray and Kelsey as they tackle the math behind some simple curves in the coaster's track.
Part A

The first part of Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster is a curved pattern that can be represented by a polynomial function.

Ray and Kelsey are working to graph a third-degree polynomial function that represents the first pattern in the coaster plan. Ray says the third-degree polynomial has four intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as three zeros only. Is there a way for the both of them to be correct? Explain your answer.

Kelsey has a list of possible functions. Pick one of the g(x) functions below and then describe to Kelsey the key features of g(x), including the end behavior, y-intercept, and zeros.
g(x) = (x + 2)(x − 1)(x − 2)
g(x) = (x + 3)(x + 2)(x − 3)
g(x) = (x + 2)(x − 2)(x − 3)
g(x) = (x + 5)(x + 2)(x − 5)
g(x) = (x + 7)(x + 1)(x − 1)

Create a graph of the polynomial function you selected from Question 2.

From the information given about the polynomial function, It is correct to state that there is a way for both of them to be correct. See the explanation below and the attached for the graph related to the second question.

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?</h3>

A polynomial could only have a number of zeros equal to its degree. A third degree polynomial can thus have three zeroes, but Ray claims the polynomial has four Intercepts.

While the words "zeroes" and "intercepts" are sometimes used interchangeably, a zero is officially an x-intercept. A function can also have a y-intercept, therefore a cubic can have four intercepts in total, albeit only three will be zeroes.

The zeros of g(x)= x3-x2-4x+4 are -2,2, and 1. End behavior, the Y- intercept, the axis of symmetry, and the vertex are other important characteristics of polynomial functions.

Create a matrix that is equal to F+G. The first matrix below is named F and the second matrix below is named G. Name the new mat
likoan [24]

F+G:

F+G=\begin{bmatrix}{-1.8} & {-8.6} & {} \\ {2.85} & {-1.4} & {} \\ {-1.8} & {5.1} & {}\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}{1.32} & {-1.9} & {} \\ {2.25} & {0.0} & {} \\ {-6.2} & {1.4} & {}\end{bmatrix}

Then, add the elements that occupy the same position:

H=\begin{bmatrix}{-1.8+1.32} & {-8.6+(-1.9)} & {} \\ {2.85+2.25} & {-1.4+0.0} & {} \\ {-1.8+(-6.2)} & {5.1+1.4} & {}\end{bmatrix}

Solve

H=\begin{bmatrix}{-0.48} & {-10.5} & {} \\ {5.1} & {-1.4} & {} \\ {-8} & {6.5} & {}\end{bmatrix}

So, we find the element at address h31:

H=\begin{bmatrix}{h11} & {h12} & {} \\ {h21} & {h22} & {} \\ {h31} & {h32} & {}\end{bmatrix}

In this case, position h31 is - 8.0

a quadritilateral always has 4 sides, but it dpesnt HAVE to be a square

a parrellelogram can be any shap as long as its parrelel

a rhombus is always a square, becuase if you turn it around... VIOLA! you get a square.
