Write an equation for a polynomial with all the following features: The Degree is 5. The graph of the Polynomial crosses the ver

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: f(x) = a*x^5 + b*x^3 + c*x^2 + 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree is 5, so we will have a term like:

a*x^5

it crosses the vertical axis at y = 12, then we will have a constant term equal to 12.

The polynomial has 4 terms, and we already defined two, so we can invent two more, such that the exponent must be between 1 and 4

This polynomial can be something like:

f(x) = a*x^5 + b*x^3 + c*x^2 + 12.

where a, b and c are real numbers.

Has 4 terms, f(0) = 12, then it intersects the y-axis at y = 12, and the maximum exponent is 5, then the degree of f(x) is 5.

Kai is making a chessboard using pieces of wood that measure 1sq in when she finishes the chessboard well have an area of 64 sq

Kay [80]

Answer:

8 pieces of wood should be put along each side of the chessboard

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in knowing the the number of pieces of wood that should be put along each side of the cheese board.

Firstly, to know the number of pieces of wood to use, we need to divide the area of the board by the area of each piece of wood

Mathematically that would be 64 square inches/ 1 square inch = 64 pieces of wood

64 pieces of wood would be needed to complete the cheeseboard.

The number of pieces to put along each side of the cheese board will be √64.

This is because the shape of a chessboard is square.

Thus the number of pieces to put on each side will be √64 = 8

How to determine whether to move right or left on the number line when adding rational numbers?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

So if you're adding two negatives you move left, positive you move right, and when you have to determine a negative, and a positive you just have to see which one is the farthest from zero which the farthest one's sign is either positive, or negative. Positive to move right, and negative to move left.
