Given the following polynomial find the maximum possible number of turning points. f(x)=x6+x2+x7+x12

1 answer:

8 0

If you put in descending order you get:
f(x) = x^12 + x^7 + x^6 + x^2
The highest power (n) is 12 so the maximum number of turning points is (n - 1), 12 -1 = 11
You can have 11 turning points

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points ( − 1 , − 7 ) (−1,−7) and ( 1 , − 13 ) (1,−13)? Write your answer i

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$y = -3x -10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept formula: $\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}$

Find slope of (−1, −7) and (1, -13)

$\frac{y_2-y_2}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\frac{-13-(-7)}{1-(-1)}\\\\\\frac{-6}{2}\\\\\-3$

$y = mx + b$

$y = -3x +b$

$y = -3x +b\\-7 = -3(-1) + b\\-7 = 3 +b\\-3 -3\\-10 = b$

$y = -3x -10$

Hope this helps!

In APQR, find the measure of Z.P.

egoroff_w [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple possibilities.

e.g.

we could use Pythagoras to get QR, and then use the law of sine to get angle P.

or we can use the law of sine to get angle R, and then use the rule that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180° to get angle P.

I propose the second option :

the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with a, b, c being the sides always opposite of their associated angles.

33.8/sin(R) = 57.6/sin(90) = 57.6

sin(R) = 33.8/57.6 = 0.586805555...

R = 35.93064691...°

180 = 90 + 35.93064691... + P

P = 54.06935309...°
