Answer: a) zeros: x = {0, 4, -2}
b) as x → ∞, y → ∞
as x → -∞, y → ∞
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
I think you mean (a) find the zeros and (b) describe the end behavior
(a) Find the zeros by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x:
x (x - 4) (x + 2)⁴ = 0
- x = 0 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = 4 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = -2 <u>Multiplicity of 4 </u> --> even multiplicity so it touches the x-axis
Degree = 6
(b) End behavior is determined by the following two criteria:
- Sign of Leading Coefficient (Right side): Positive is ↑, Negative is ↓
- Degree (Left side): Even is same direction as right side, Odd is opposite direction of right side
Sign of the leading coefficient is Positive so right side goes UP
as x → ∞, y → ∞
Degree of 6 is Even so Left side is the same direction as right (UP)
as x → -∞, y → ∞
Answer:
m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal. </u>
The slope of x - axis is 0
(why?)
because, slope of a line is given by

Θ is the angle made by the line with the x- axis.
Here, the line in question is the x- axis itself, and every line makes an angle of 0° with itself.
=> Θ = 0
=> tan Θ = 0
=> slope = 0
and the line in blue is parallel to the X- axis, therefore, it's slope is also 0
(also, a line makes an angle of 0° with the line it's parallel to)

The last option is the answer
Answer:
442554 square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by :
0.5*A*B*Sin(∅) where A and B are two sides and ∅ is the angle between them.
We will find ∅ by applying cosine rule:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2ab cos(∅)
Where ∅ is angle between sides a and b.
In this example:
a=1028, b=1046, c= 965
Plugging in the values, we get ∅=55.4°
Applying the formula for Area:
0.5*A*B*Sin(∅)
0.5*1028*1046*Sin(55.4)= 442554 square miles
