I would assume 1/5 is your answer. As 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5 = 5/5 which is 1.
Answer:
- zeros: x = -3, -1, +2.
- end behavior: as x approaches -∞, f(x) approaches -∞.
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use a graphing calculator for finding the zeros of higher order polynomials. The attachment shows them to be at x = -3, -1, +2.
__
The zeros can also be found by trial and error, trying the choices offered by the rational root theorem: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6. It is easiest to try ±1. Doing so shows that -1 is a root, and the residual quadratic is ...
x² +x -6
which factors as (x -2)(x +3), so telling you the remaining roots are -3 and +2.
___
For any odd-degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, the sign of the function will match the sign of x when the magnitude of x gets large. Thus as x approaches negative infinity, so does f(x).
Let
x-------> the number of dinner
y-------> the number of lunch
we know that
-------> equation A
------> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A
so
the greatest number of lunch is
Hence
the greatest number of dinner is
therefore
the greatest number of meals is
<u>the answer is</u>
