Answer:

The first graph. (an upside down U)

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading coefficient of a polynomial determines the direction of the graph's end behavior.

A positive leading coefficient has the end behavior point up when an even degree and point opposite directions when an odd degree with the left down and the right up.

A negative leading coefficient has the end behavior point down when an even degree and point opposite directions when an odd degree with the left up and the right down.

This graph has two evens. Because its negative, only one is possible - the first graph.

The other two graphs are odd with both starting down on the left and point up on the right which is a positive leading coefficient. These are not possible graphs.

The first graph is the solution.

Answer:

46.19 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras rule :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Let length of string = s

Sin 60 = 40 / s

s * 0.8660254 = 40

s = 40 / 0.8660254

s = 46.188021 feets

s = 46.19 feets

X+y= 1......... 4x+y = -23 <br> What's x and y

Temka [501]

X + y = 1.....multiply by -1
4x + y = -23
---------------
-x - y = -1 (result of multiplying by -1)
4x + y = -23
---------------add
3x = - 24
x = -24/3
x = -8 <====

x + y = 1
-8 + y = 1
y = 1 + 8
y = 9 <====

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Unit rate = 0.414 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance travelled = 212 miles

Time taken = 512 hours

$Unit \: rate = \frac{distance \: travelled}{time \: taken} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{212}{512} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 0.414 \: mph (miles \: per \: hour)$
