Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

His reasoning is wrong. We can evaluate the validity of his reasoning by looking at the basics of what a polynomial is.

In the real sense of it, what makes a polynomial a polynomial is the power to which the variable is raised and not the integer attached to the variable.

In this case, we do not even have an integer attached.

What makes a polynomial a polynomial is that the variable is raised to an exponent or power which is a positive whole number ( integer)

In this case, while x^2 is a polynomial, x^-2 is not and also x^1/2 is not

Only x^2 is qualified as a polynomial because it is the only expression having its powers in positive integers

Hence; 0.5x^2 is a polynomial since it is raised to a positive whole number (integer)

A line passes through the points (0,3), (4,1) and (6,0). Which function best represents the relationship between the two points?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

<em>y = - </em>\frac{1}{2}<em> x + 3 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } and "b" is y-intercept with coordinates (0, b)

(0, 3) ⇒ <u><em>b = 3</em></u>

(4, 1), (6, 0)

m = \frac{0-1}{6-4} = - \frac{1}{2}

<em>y = - </em>\frac{1}{2}<em> x + 3</em>

In a community garden​ (shown to the​ right) you want to plant and fence in a vegetable garden that is adjacent to your​ friend'
marusya05 [52]

Answer:   11 x 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, a question such as this allows one to assume that the wall on the neighbor's garden will also serve as a wall on our garden, but the sentence ". . . and the fence must surround all four sides . . ." leads to the conclusion that the 48 feet must include the side next to the neighbor.  That's waht tis assumes.

The diagram shows a rectangle, so the neighbor's length of 11 feet must be the same on the opposite side.  That leaves (48 - 22) = 26 feet for the two sides.  26/2 = 13 feet each side.  This leads to a garden dimesion of 11 x 13 feet.
