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

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: 3x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=3x^2+x\\f(a)=3a^2+a\\f(4)=3*4^2+4=52\\\\f(x)-f(4)=3x^2+x-52=(x-4)(3x+13)\\\\\dfrac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4} =\dfrac{3x^2+x-52}{x-4} \\\\if\ x \neq 4\ then \\\\\dfrac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4} =\dfrac{(x-4)(3x+13)}{x-4} \\\\=3x+13\\$

timofeeve [1]

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
23000 -------> 100%
x --------------> 180%
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (180/100) * (23000)
x = 41400
Answer:
you would expect about:
a) 41,400 responses

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to AB and passes through Point X. Show all work

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Equation of line is y=(12/5)x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of line AB is -5/12. The line passing X is perpendicular to line AB and hence have a slope of 12/5. The slope intercept form is given by y=mx+c.

Now, point X satisfies the equation. Plugging in the slope of the line we end up with

y=(12/5)*x+c, now to find c

-10=(12/5)*(-5)+c, c=2

Equation of line is y=(12/5)x+2
