Answer:

You need to buy 6.5 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to put a 5 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 23 ft by 18 ft garden.

We know 1 yard = 3 feet or 1 yard = 36 inches

Then 1 inch = 1/36 yard.

1 feet = 1/3 yard

The volume of the layer of the topsoil is given by:

= 5(1/36)(23)(1/3)(18)(1/3) cubic yards

2070/324=6.39 cubic yards

Now, the store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

So, we need to buy 6.39/0.25=25.56 increments

Rounded to 26 increments.

Therefore, we need to buy 26 increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

That becomes 6.5 cubic yards.

5 inches = 5/12 = 0.4166 feet

23 x 18 x 0.4166 = 172.5 cubic feet

1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yards

172.5 x 0.037037 = 6.39 round up to 6.5 cubic yards

There seems to be a flaw with this question because it says that there are five x-intercepts but the given information only gives you 4 x-intercepts to work with.

Even means the graph is symmetric about the y-axis

The best answer is <span>A.(–6, 0), (–2, 0), and (0, 0)

because you do not have to worry about another point (0,0). Plus we need (-6,0) for it to be symmetric with (6,0).

Consider function f(x) = x²(x-6)(x+6)(x+2)</span>²(x-2)<span>². It is even and fits these conditions as it has x-intercepts at (6,0), (-6,0), (-2,0), (2,0), and (0,0). again, the question does not tell us the fifth x-intercept, so we need to assume that there is another one that needs to be there...and so (-2,0) must have (2,0) for it to be even as well.</span>
