All odd degrees polynomials with real coefficients have (at least) a real root, and are continuous.  This is because the curve goes diagonally and must pass through the x-axis.

The above polynomial can be evaluated at x1=-10 and x1=+10 (or any other large enough number)
f(-10)=-2395
f(10)=1405
Since they have opposite signs, the function must intersect the x-axis between x1 and x2 by the intermediate value theorem, hence there is (at least) one root.

AC=(5x+12) and BD =8x? Can somebody help me to slove it
AleksAgata [21]
To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.

What is 5,254,071,926 written in standard form
Elis [28]
5.254071926×10^9
Standard form is taking a large number and putting it in a form where the number is smaller than 10. To do that (using the number above) you would take the first number which is 5 and then make every number after it part of a decimal. You then use [×10^x] (multiplied by 10 to the power of the amount of numbers after the decimal point (In this case 9)) to show others that to find the full number you multiply the decimal by 10 to the power of 9.

Alexandra is climbing a tree that is 105 feet tall. She has climbed 70 feet so far. if f= the number of feet remaining, which gr
Alex17521 [72]
Right answer is B. If we have f equal the amount of her remaining way so f it will be the difference between the way she has gone and her finish line. So we have 70 in the approximate middle of her way and F is between 70 feet and 105 feet, so 105=70+F
