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

Which of the following is a solution of x² - 7x = -5?

lesya [120]

$\frac{7 - \sqrt{} 29} {2}$

$x {}^{2} - 7x = - 5 \\ x {}^{2} - 7x - ( - 5) = - 5 - ( - 5) \\ x {}^{2} - 7x( - 5) = 0 \\ x {}^{2} - 7x + 5 = 0 \\ x = \frac{ - ( - 7 + \sqrt{( - 7 {) }^{2} - 4 \times 5} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - ( - 7 + \sqrt{49 - 4 \times 5} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - ( - 7) + \sqrt{49 \times 20} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ - ( - 7) \sqrt{29} }{2} \\ x = \frac{7 + \sqrt{29} }{2} \\ \frac{ \sqrt{29 + 7} }{2} \\ x = \frac{7 - \sqrt{29} }{2} \\ x = \frac{ \sqrt{29 + 7} }{2} \\ x = \frac{7 - \sqrt{29} }{2}$

A force of magnitude F stretches a spring a distance of 2 cm from its rest position. What magnitude of force will stretch the sp

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = k * x

so k = force/distance = F/2

if you were to duplicate the distance 2 times more, the F must also do so so that it's proportional

so F*2 = 2F but since it says additional 4cm, you will need to add the initial one and this one so that it's 6cm in total.

2F + F = 3F

21 pounds of tomatoes cost $31.50. How many pounds of tomatoes can you get for $45?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

create a proportion and cross-multiply to solve

let x = $45 worth of tomatoes, in pounds

21 / 31.5 = x / 45

31.5x = 945

x = 30
