Answer:
The degree of the polynomial is even because it is a 4th degree polynomial. 4 is even, so the graph will behave roughly like a quadratic; namely, its graph will either be up on both ends or else be down on both ends.
The y-intercept is the constant term. The constant term is -4 because it is the only number on the y-axis.
Divide -5 on both sides. To isolate c
For 2) and 4), check the picture below
that's the "secant segments from external point" theorem... and that's just an example... so... use that for those
now, for the other two, you'd want to post them separately, one at a time, easier to track and revise
Answer:
1. 
2. x = 16
3. Part 1: P is the independent variable and S is the dependent variable.
Part 2: x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To write the function notation for:
Sales tax is 7% of the total price.
Let the total price be
.
And sales tax be
.
As per the given statement:

Writing it in the function notation:

2. To find the value of x such that
and

Putting the value of 

3. To find the dependent and independent variable.
Independent variables are those whose value is not dependent on the other variable's values.
Dependent variables are dependent on the value of other variables.
In question 1:

P is the independent variable.
S is the dependent variable.
In question 2:
If we write it as follows:

x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.
Answer:
multiply both the x value and y value by -1
