ANSWER
The zeros of
are
EXPLANATION
The given function is
To find the zeros of the above function, we just have to equate the function to zero and solve for x.
This implies that,
To graph the above function, we need to consider the multiplicity.
We can see that the multiplicity of the roots are odd. This means that, the graph crosses the x-axis at each x-intercept.
We also need to consider the position of the graph on the following intervals,
When
The graph is below the x-axis.
When
The graph is above the x-axis.
when
The graph is below the x-axis.
Finally the interval,
when
The graph is above the x-axis.
We can now use the above information to sketch graph as shown in the diagram above.
Answer:
13 trails
Step-by-step explanation:
The histogram shows following numbers of trails:
- <u>0 - 6 km long</u> - 5 trails;
- 6 - 12 km long - 9 trails;
- 12 - 18 km long - 7 trails;
- 18 - 24 km long - 3 trails;
- <u>24 - 30 km long</u> - 4 trails;
- <u>30 - 36 km long</u> - 1 trail;
- <u>36 - 42 km long</u> - 3 trails.
So, there are 5 trails with length less than 6 km and 4 + 1 + 3 = 8 trails that are at least 24 km long.
In total, 5 + 8 = 13 trails
