I'm assuming this is for apolynomial function. The question of whether a degreee is odd or even changes the look of a graph. An even-numbered degree forms a parabola, where (in the most basic form), the one minimum point (extrema) just touches the origin. An odd-numbered degree, in its most basic form, doesn't touch a point, it crosses it. It expands infinitely without extrema.
Let's assume you're just talking about quadratic functions (or [even] parabolic functions, to be more general), in which case something like x^2 (the simplest quadratic equation) and x^50 would have the same extreme minimum point.
Answers:
-3.5 < 5
|-3.5| < |5|
============================================
Explanation:
Any negative number is <u>always</u> smaller than any positive number. So that's why -3.5 is smaller than 5 and where -3.5 < 5 comes from. It might help to set up a vertical number line. Stuff on top is larger than stuff down below.
---------
The vertical bars represent absolute value. The result of |-3.5| is 3.5 because this is the distance from -3.5 to 0 on the number line. Likewise, |5| = 5.
So that's how we get to |-3.5| < |5| which is effectively saying -3.5 is closer to zero than 5 is to zero.
Answer:
$13.75 per hour is Nikki's pay rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the hourly pay rate for Nikki by dividing the total pay by the total number of hours worked:
343.75 dollars / 25 hours = ? / ? dollars/hour (or dollars per hour)
$13.75 per hour is Nikki's pay rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take 4 as k then
4k = 4(4) = 16 boxes
k + 9 = 4 + 9 = 13 boxes
