A polynomial is to be constructed that will touch the x axis at most 5 times. What is the minimum degree of the polynomial?

1 answer:

8 0

Touch the x axis means the zeroes (y=0) of theh equation aka the roots aka the solutions
ok, so remember that the degree of the polynomial will be the maximum number of roots so therefor
minimum degreee is 5th degree

Find the equation of the problem

pogonyaev

$6\sin^2\theta-\sin\theta=1\ \ \ -1\\\\6\sin^2\theta-\sin\theta-1=0\\\\6\sin\theta-3\sin\theta+2\sin\theta-1=0\\\\3\sin\theta(2\sin\theta-1)+1(2\sin\theta-1)=0\\\\(2\sin\theta-1)(3\sin\theta+1)=0\iff2\sin\theta-1=0\ \vee\ 3\sin\theta+1=0\\\\2\sin\theta=1\ \ |:2\ \ \vee\ \ 3\sin\theta=-1\ \ |:3\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{1}{2}\ \vee\ \sin\theta=-\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\$
$\theta=30^o\ \vee\ \theta=150^o\ \vee\ \theta=360^o-\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\ \vee\ \theta=180^o+\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)$

Given the function f(x) = 4^x - 1, explain and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 1 and x = 4.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1)=4^1 - 1 = 3

f(4) = 4^4 - 1 = 255

rate of change = $\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$

(255 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 252 / 3 = 84

I go bowling every week and keep track of how many strikes i get: 2,0,4,7,7,0,1,0 Find the mode median and mean of this set of d

natima [27]

Answer:

Mode is 0
Median is 1
Mean is 2.625

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mode, or modal value, it is best to put the numbers in order. A number that appears most often is the mode.
0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 4, 7, 7 = mode is 0

To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle number.
0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 4 , 7 , 7 = median is 1

The mean is the average of the numbers. It is easy to calculate: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.
0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 7 / 8 = mean is 2.625
