Answer:
16.) c. 2x²+7x-15
17.) c. 
18.) D
Step-by-step explanation:
have a wonderful day! :D
This is an expression equivalent to the problem (f g) (10)
If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those. Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span>
<span>
<span>
66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet
Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.
I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
I just worked out the problem twice and got -4.5 both times.
If complex coefficients are allowed, the answer is 3.
If the polynomial must have real coefficients, then each complex root comes as a pair of complex conjugate roots.
Root -5 is real, so that is 1 root, and degree 1.
Root 1 + 4i is complex, so it must come with its complex conjugate, 1 - 4i. This adds 2 roots to the polynomial, and now we're up to degree 3.
Root -4i is also complex. It also must come with its complex conjugate, 4i. That adds two more roots, and the degree is 5.
Answer: The least possible degree is 5 with real coefficients.
