If the leading coefficient of a polynomial function is positive, the graph will go

Mathematics

Greeley [361]1 year ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the leading coefficient means the coefficient (factor) of the term with the highest exponent of the variable (typically x).

with sufficiently large values of this variable (x - going far enough to the right) this term will "win" in value against any other term of the polynomial expression.

and therefore the sign of its factor (coefficient) will determine, if the curve will go up or down.

a positive factor (coefficient) will make the value of this term and therefore of the whole polynomial larger and larger, making the curve going up to +infinity.

a negative factor (coefficient) will make the value of this term and therefore of the whole polynomial smaller and smaller (more negative and more negative), making the curve going down to -infinity.

Finding the Equation of a Line from a Graph and a Table <br><br> plz help me
Leni [432]

Answer:

slope (m)= 1/2

y-intercept: (0, -1)

equation: y=\frac{1}{2}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is \frac{rise}{run\\}=\frac{1}{2}

y-intercept is where the line crosses the vertical axis (y-axis) so its (0, -1)

using point slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-1)=1/2(x-0)

y+1=1/2x

y=\frac{1}{2}x-1
