first off, let's notice the graph touches the x-axis at -1 and 3, namely, those are the zeros/solutions/roots of the polynomial and therefore, the factors come from those points.
now, at -1, the graph doesn't cross the x-axis, instead it <u>simply bounces off</u> of it, that means the zero of x = -1, has an even multiplicity, could be 4 or 2 or 6, but let's go with 2.
at x = 3, the graph does cross the x-axis, meaning it has an odd multiplicity, could be 3 or 1, or 7 or 9, but let's use 1.

Answer:
4.8 km is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = ?
b = 5 km
c = 7 km
According to the Pythagorean theorem,
a² + b² = c²
a² + 5² = 7²
a² + 25 = 49
a² = 49 - 25
a² = 24
a = 4.8989
Round to the nearest tenth,
a = 4.8 km
Answer:
X=120
X=54
Step-by-step explanation:
(this is for the top one and the one below the top one)
(I think they are right)
Y = 2x - 3 . . . (1)
y = -2x + 5 . . . (2)
Equating (1) and (2),
2x - 3 = -2x + 5
2x + 2x = 5 + 3
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
x = 2
y = 2(2) - 3 = 4 - 3 = 1
y = 1
Solution = (2, 1)
