<em>The graph of f is a polynomial function</em>
<em>There are two turning points, namely, x = 0 and x = -2</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A polynomial function in one variable is given by the form:

$f(x)=a_{n}x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_{2}x^2+a_{1}x+a_{0}$

Since you haven't provided any expression, I'll choose the following function:

$f(x)=x^{3}+3x^{2}+3$

So this is indeed a polynomial function. A turning point is an x-value where we have either a local maximum or local minimum. So we need to take the derivative of this functions:

$f'(x)=3x^2+6x \\ \\ Finding \ turning \ points: \\ \\ 3x^2+6x=0 \\ \\ x(3x+6)=0 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ x=0 \\ \\ and \\ \\ \ 3x+6=0 \therefore \ \boxed{x=-2}$

Conclusion:

<em>The graph of f is a polynomial function</em>
<em>There are two turning points, namely, x = 0 and x = -2</em>

Answer:

$Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs$

Required

After how many minutes, will they round together

First, convert the given time to minutes

$Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ 20\ secs$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{20}{60}\ min$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins+ 40\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins+ \frac{40}{60}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min$

So, we have:

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min$

List out the multiples of the time of both security personnel take round.

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}min,\ 4\frac{2}{3}min,\ 7min,\ 9\frac{1}{3}min,\ 11\frac{2}{3}min...$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}min,\ 3\frac{1}{3}min,\ 5min,\ 6\frac{2}{3}min,\ 8\frac{1}{3}min,\ 10min\ ,11\frac{2}{3}min,...$

In the above lists, the common time is:

$Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min$

<em>This implies that they go on round after </em> $11\frac{2}{3}\ min$ <em></em>

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E =4.266

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 2.539$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 99% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [\frac{2.58 * 2.539 }{4.266} ] ^2$

=> $n = 2$

olganol [36]

Answer:

The domain and the range of the function are, respectively:

$Dom\{f\} = [0\,m,5\,m]$

$Ran\{f\} = [0\,m^{2}, 10\,m^{2}]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Jina represented a function by a graphic approach, where the length, measured in meters, is the domain of the function, whereas the area, measured in square meters, is its range.

$Dom\{f\} = [0\,m,5\,m]$

$Ran\{f\} = [0\,m^{2}, 10\,m^{2}]$
