Answer: Melanie is the correct answer (hopefully)
Step-by-step explanation:
7 is a better decision because its higher than 6 which gets a better chance of winning (sorry for being bad at explaining)
Answer:a=10
Step-by-step explanation:
I don’t know how to explain this in detail but I hope these notes and work help you.
Answer:
The remaining solutions are -7 and 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The synthetic division is shown in the attachment. After dividing the first two found factors from the polynomial, the remaining quadratic is ...
x^2 +4x -21 = 0
Its rational roots will be factors of -21, and the sum of their opposites will be 4. Knowing that 21 = 3·7, we can guess that the remaining roots are -7 and 3. The synthetic division confirms that. (A graph also confirms it.)
Answer: 2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation: theirs 2 whole so with that theirs another circle cut in 4th's and 1 is shaded so 1/4.
Answer: y = 2x^4
The graph represents a parabolic-looking shape so it's either a quadratic or some even degree polynomial. This rules out y = -2x^3 and y = 2x^3 as they are cubics with odd degrees
The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent. It determines the end behavior. In this case, both ends are rising upward together. Because they are rising up in the positive y direction, this means that we cannot have y = -2x^4 as the answer. For example, if x = 2 then y = -2*x^4 = -2*2^4 = -32, but the point (x,y) = (2,-32) isn't on the blue curve. So we can rule y = -2x^4 out.
The fact that y = 2x^4 has a positive leading coefficient tells us that the endpoints point upward.
