Answer:
The largest possible number of x intercept is 9 while the largest possible number of relative max/min is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
For any polynomial of degree n with distinct and real solutions, it can have at most n different x intercepts. This would imply it can have at most 9 distinct real solutions.
It can also have at most n-1 relative max/min in alternating order. This is best illustrated when such polynomial is sketched on a graph.
For example a quadratic expression is a polynomial of degree 2 and has at most 2 distinct solutions and 1 relative max/min.
In this question, for the polynomial, its degree (n) = 9
So it can have at most 9 x intercepts and at most 8 relative max/min.

Answer:(3x+7)(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
James is 37, Rob is 44, and Kate is 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation where x is James' age:
Rob's age can be represented by x + 7, since he is 7 years older than James
Kate's age can be represented by x - 2, since she is 2 years younger than James
Add these together in the equation and set it equal to 116:
(x + 7) + (x - 2) + (x) = 116
Add like terms and solve for x:
(x + 7) + (x - 2) + (x) = 116
3x + 5 = 116
3x = 111
x = 37
So, James is 37.
Find Rob's age by adding 7 to this:
37 + 7
= 44
Find Kate's age by subtracting 2:
37 - 2
= 35
So, James is 37, Rob is 44, and Kate is 35
