The maximum number of roots to a polynomial of order n is n roots. Take the example of a quadratic (order 2) which can intersect the x-axis a maximum of 2 times, and similarly a cubic (order 3) 3 times maximum.

Hence for 8 intersections, minimum order = 8

1. if a = 16 and b= 12, find c
klasskru [66]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that

a^2+b^2=c^2

So 16^2 + 12^2 = c^2\\256+144 = c^2\\400 = c^2

You would then do

400 = c^2\\\sqrt{400} = c

Because a square root is the opposite of a square.

\sqrt{400} = 20

because 20 * 20 = 400

First you'll need to understad what Perpendicular Bisector Theorem is:

The Perpendicular Bisector Theorem states that a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment if and only if it is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

so X=45 degrees

and Y= 90 degrees

I'm not sure about X

but I hope this helps

:D

noname [10]
The answer is 27 muffins.

5/9m=15

9/5*5/9 which cancels each other out leaving just m.

Then you multiply 15 by 9/5 which gives you 135/5 which reduces to 27.
