1) y-intercept => x = 0, => y = f(0) = 0 - 0 + 0 - 36 = -36
2) x-intercept => y = 0 => factor the function (start by dividing by x -2)
f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)(x-6) =0 => x =2, x = 3, x = 6 (these are the x-intercepts)
3) critical points:
between x = 2 and x = 3, there is a local maximum
between x =3 and x = 6 there is a local minimum
3) Shape.
The function comes growing from - infinity.
In the third quadrant the function is negative (it does not pass throuhg the second quadrant)
It enters to the fourth quadrant intercepting the y-axis at y = -36. It continues growing and intercepts the x-axis at x = 2.
It continues increasing until a maximum local positive value, starts to decrease, intercepts the x-axis at x = 3, continues decreasing, becomes negative, gets a local minimum in the fourth quadrant, starts to increase, intercepts the x-axis at x = 6, becomes positive, and continues growing.
The dot plot shows the frequency or length of the tadpoles
The total length of the tadpoles that are 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch long is 7/8 inches
<h3>How to determine the total length?</h3>
From the dot plot, we have the following parameters:
- 3 tadpoles have a length of 1/8
- 2 tadpoles have a length of 1/4
So, the total length is:
Total = 3 * 1/8 + 2 * 1/4
Evaluate the product
Total = 3/8 + 1/2
Rewrite as;
Total = 3/8 + 4/8
Evaluate the sum
Total = 7/8
Hence, the total length of the tadpoles that are 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch long is 7/8 inches

Answer:
The distance between two points on the globe 30° north and 50° south at the equator is the same as latitude, roughly 69 miles. At 45 degrees north or south, the distance between is about 49 miles (79 km). The distance between longitudes reaches zero at the poles as the lines of meridian converge at that point.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry If it is wrong.
B is correct. Substitute the week number for w in the function. Follow order of operations and you should get you N, the number of fruit flies for that week. For instance week 2:
N= 2(5)^2-1
N=2(5)^1
N=2(5)
N= 10
N= 10 corresponds to the table
We can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve this problem.
15 pounds correspond to $1.80, then the question is to find the price of one pound, the called unit rate. We state the rule of three:
15 pound ----> $1.80
1 pound -----> x
x = (1)(1.80)/15
x = 0.12
Therefore, each pound costs $0.12 that is the unit rate in pounds
