Answer:
Trinomial.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note how much terms there are in the given expressions:
Term 1:
Term 2:
Term 3:
Note each meaning of the terms:
Monomial: Having only one term.
Binomial: Having two terms.
Trinomial: Having three terms.
Polynomial: Typically used to describe expressions with 4 or more terms.
In this case, there are only 3 terms, and so your answer is Trinomial.

Answer:
a) positive real zeros: 2 or 0; negative real zeros: 2 or 0; complex zeros: 0, 2, or 4. (rule of signs)
b) ∪-shaped, as for an even-degree polynomial with positive leading coefficient. See attached.
c, d) See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Descarte's rule of signs gives bounds on the number of positive and negative real roots. The numbers it gives may be reduced by multiples of 2, as complex roots will come in conjugate pairs. The total number of roots of all kinds will match the degree of the polynomial.
Synthetic division is essentially polynomial long division with some modifications:
__
<h3>a) </h3>The signs of the terms of the given polynomial are + - - - +. There are two sign changes, so 2 possible positive real roots.
When the signs of the odd-degree terms are changed, the signs become + + - + +. There are still two sign changes, so 2 possible negative real roots.
Either or both of these numbers can be reduced by 2 if the roots include a conjugate pair. That is, there may also be 0 possible positive real roots, and 0 possible negative real roots.
The number of non-real (complex) zeros may be any multiple of 2 up to the degree of the polynomial. The may be 0, 2, or 4 possible non-real zeros.
__
<h3>b)</h3>The graph is the first attachment. It shows 4 real zeros: x = -4, -2, 1, 6.
Since the polynomial is of even degree (4) and has a positive leading coefficient (+1), we expect the general shape to be ∪-shaped. It is.
__
<h3>c)</h3>The second attachment shows synthetic division using x = -4. (The binomial divisor is (x+4).) The remainder (lower right value in the tableau) is the value of y when x=-4. The third attachment shows synthetic division using the value x=3. (y is -210 when x=3.)
Maybe this is the table you want:
__
<h3>d)</h3>The second attachment shows synthetic division by the factor (x+4).
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The synthetic division attachments show instructions for carrying out the synthetic division and interpreting the results. As we said above, "the entry on the left" is the opposite of the constant in the binomial divisor. It is the actual value of x you want to use to evaluate the function.
The equations shown are merely for the purpose of indicating the operations that are used. An actual synthetic division tableau is simply a 3-row table of numbers, with the bottom row being the quotient coefficients and remainder.
Answer:
Option B:
Classification:
The hypothesis test is Two-tailed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this country is 22.1 months.
This means that the null hypothesis is that the mean is of 22.1 months, that is:
A hypothesis test is to be performed to determine whether the mean length of imprisonment for motor-vehicle theft offenders in this city differs from the national mean of 22.1 months.
At the alternate hypothesis, we test if this mean is different of 22.1, that is:
Which means that the answer is given by option b).
Which of the following is the correct classification of the hypothesis test?
We test if the mean is different from a value, which means that the hypothesis test is Two-tailed.
