<u>ANSWER</u>

The zeros are x=-5,x=0,x=5


EXPLANATION

Given;

f(x)=x^4-25x^2.


We can rewrite the function as


f(x)=x^2(x^2-25)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x^2-5^2)


\Rightarrow f(x)=x^2(x-5)(x+5)



The zeros are found by equating the function to zero.


\Rightarrow x^2(x-5)(x+5)=0


\Rightarrow (x-5)=0

The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=5


Or

\Rightarrow (x+5)=0


The multiplicity is 1, since it is odd the graph crosses at this intercept. which is x=-5


Or


\Rightarrow x^2=0


This last root has a multiplicity of 2.

That is

x=0 repeats two times.


Since the multiplicity is even, the graph touches the x-axis at the point x=0.



See graph.

I assume that the numbers are: 4,4,6,1,5,2,6
If so, then the MAD is 1.43

To find the MAD, you first find the mean of the list. It is 4.
Then find the absolute difference of each number from the mean.

Those values are: 0,0,2,3,1,2,2
Now find the mean of those numbers and you have about: 1.43

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

180 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the rectangular drawing has:

  • 5 inches long (L)
  • 4 inches wide (W)

And we also know that:

<em>1 inch = 3 feet</em>

We will find how many feet long and wide is the actual room, by multiplying:

Long: 5 inches * 3 feet/inch = 15 feet

Wide: 4 inches * 3 feet/ inch = 12 feet

Now we want to know the area of the rectangle, and the area of the rectangle is:

<em>A = L*W</em>

<em>A = 15 feet * 12 feet</em>

A = 180 square feet

Which of the following lines of Shelly's "On the Medusa of Leonardo Da Vinci in the
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

A: Tis the melodious hue of beauty thrown  .

Explanation:

An appeal to the sense of hearing and sight will be something that presents an act that gives the readers a sense of the sounds in the writing. While an appeal to the sense of sight will present an image or a form of the picture to the readers. These types of sense appeals are used by writers to engage their readers' interest and keep them hooked.

In Percy Bysshe Shelly's poem "On the Medusa of Leonardo Da Vinci in the Florentine Gallery", the poet talks about the goddess Medusa but most importantly talks about the painting of "Medusa" by Da Vinci. The poem structured in the iambic pentameter scheme presents an image of Medusa and also how she was depicted by Da Vinci in his work. Out of the given options from the second stanza of the poem, the line that appeals to the sense of hearing and sight is<u><em> "Tis the melodious (hearing/ sound) hue of beauty thrown (sight)".</em></u>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
