Let the leading term of the polynomial, f(x), be axⁿ.
Examine the possibilities.
n a x -> - ∞ x -> +∞
------- ---- ----------- ------------
even a>0 f -> +∞ f -> +∞ Not true
even a<0 f-> - ∞ f-> -∞ True
odd a>0 f-> -∞ f-> +∞ Not true
odd a<0 f-> +∞ f-> -∞ Not true
Answer:
(a) the degree of the polynomial is even, and
(b) the coefficient of the leading term is negative.
Answer:
d=~7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
7^2+3^2=d^2
49+9=d^2
58=d^2
Square root of 58=~7.6
d=~7.6
Answer:
The 3rd term is
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information, the first term of the sequence is
The common ratio of the sequence is
The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is :
To find the third term, we put n=3 to get:
This simplifies to:
Answer:
