If the graph crosses the x-axis and appears almost linear at the intercept, it is a single zero. If the graph touches the x-axis and bounces off of the axis, it is a zero with even multiplicity. If the graph crosses the x-axis at a zero, it is a zero with odd multiplicity. The sum of the multiplicities is the degree

Answer:
The cutoff for a failing score was 40,
Approximately 2.3% of the students failed. 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Mean, 
Standard deviation, 
Let x represents the cutoff for a failing score,
Thus, according to the question,





Thus, the cutoff for a failing score is 40,
∵ P(<-2) = 0.02275 = 2.275 % ≈ 2.3 %
Hence, Approximately 2.3 % of the students failed.

The solution to the system is then

 
        
             
        
        
        
1.98x10^9. move the decimal until you have one number in front of it. then keep the numbers that are not 0 after it. then count how many places you moved the decimal point and that's your power.
