Answer:
1. k=0
2. yes, result is still a polynomial.
3. yes, f and g must have the same degree to have deg(f+g) < deg(f) or deg(g)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. for what constant k must f(k) always equal the constant term of f(x) for any polynomial f(x)
for k=0 any polynomial f(x) will reduce f(k) to the constant term.
2. If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, is the result a polynomial?
Yes, If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, the result is always a polynomial.
3. if deg(f+g) is less than both deg f and deg g, then must f and g have the same degree?
Yes.
If
deg(f+g) < deg(f) and
deg(f+g) < deg(g)
then it means that the two leading terms cancel out, which can happen only if f and g have the same degree.
Polynomials are equations that uses variables and several terms
The polynomial in standard form is f(x) = x^2 - x -20
<h3>How to determine the polynomial</h3>
The polynomial has 2 zeros.
So, the form of the polynomial is:
f(x) = a(x - x1)(x - x2)
The zeros of the polynomial are 5 and -4.
So, the equation becomes
f(x) = a(x - 5)(x + 4)
The value of a = 1.
So, we have;
f(x) = 1(x - 5)(x + 4)
This gives
f(x) = (x - 5)(x + 4)
Expand
f(x) = x^2 - x -20
Hence, the polynomial in standard form is f(x) = x^2 - x -20

Answer:
swimming: 0,75h
biking: 1,6h
running: 1h
Step-by-step explanation:
No x does NOT equal 16. you would substitute x for 16 which gives you 16+12. That equals 28 not 30. The correct answer is x=18
