Touch the x axis means the zeroes (y=0) of theh equation aka the roots aka the solutions
ok, so remember that the degree of the polynomial will be the maximum number of roots so therefor
minimum degreee is 5th degree
Replace the words with what you know
(Original cost)(6%)=5.25
(Original cost)(0.06)=5.25
(original cost)=5.25/0.06=87.5
Answer:
= 4
Step-by-step explanation:
first lets find the value of x in 3x+2=5/9
3x+2=5/9
3x =
-2
3x = 
3x = 
x = 
x = 
can also be written as 
−3x+8
-3 (
) +8
+8
= 4
Simple, plug n chug...

t=2
u=-8
v=-0.5
Now, plug in what you have,


Now,
2-16=-14
Thus, your answer, -14.
