Ray and Kelsey are working to graph a third-degree polynomial function that represents the first pattern in the coaster plan. Ra

y says the third-degree polynomial has 4 intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as 3 zeros only. Is there a way for the both of them to be correct? Explain your answer.

Hints:
Intercepts could mean either x-intercept or y-intercept.
3 zeroes means three x-intercepts.

Sure there is.

The function has three zeros ... it crosses the x-axis in 3 places.
Those are three x-intercepts.

It also crosses the y-axis.  That's not a 'zero' or solution,
but it's the fourth intercept.

I slapped together a "third-degree polynomial function" in a hurry
that I think does the job.  I'm not positive ... you should check it:

                  f(x)  =  x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6

==>  f(x) is zero when x = -3 or -2 or -1 ... those are three x-intercepts.

==>  f(x) is 6 when x = 0 ... that's the y-intercept.

I don't know what "the first pattern in the coaster plan" means.

Answer:

Distributive

Step-by-step explanation:

when you distribute 3 to x, 3y, and 5, you get 3x+9y+15, which is equivalent to the other expression when you simplify it

A welder produces 7 welded assemblies during the first day on a new job, and the seventh assembly takes 45 minutes (unit time).
likoan [24]

Answer:

(a). 72.9%.

(b). 13.6 hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which is going to assist us in solving this question/problem;

=> "A welder produces 7 welded assemblies during the first day on a new job, and the seventh assembly takes 45 minutes (unit time). "

=> The worker produces 10 welded assemblies on the second day, and the 10th assembly on the second day takes 30 minutes"

So, we will be making use of the Crawford learning curve model.

T(7) + 10 = T (17) = 30 min.

T(7) = T1(7)^b = 45.

T(17 ) = T1(17)^b = 30.

(T1) = 45/7^b = 30/17^b.

45/30 = 7^b/17^b = (7/17)^b.

1.5 = (0.41177)^b.

ln 1.5 = b ln 0.41177.

0.40547 = -0.8873 b.

b = - 0.45696.

=> 2^ -0.45696 = 0.7285.

= 72.9%.

(b). T1= 45/7^ - 045696 = 109.5 hr.

V(TT)(17) = 109.5 {(17.51^ - 0.45696 – 0.51^ - 0.45696) / (1 - 0.45696)} .

V(TT) (17) = 109.5 {(4.7317 - 0.6863) / 0.54304} .

= 815.7 min .

= 13.595 hr.
