Turning points are inflection points
think
1st degree (linear) has no turning/inflecion points
2nd degree (quadratic, parabola) has 1 turning/inflection point
so
nth degree has n-1 turning/inflection point
this is 11th degree since highest power is 12
12-1=11
11 turning oints
Answer: x=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the parentheses by 2/3. 9=2/3x+8.
Multiply both sides by 3 . 27=2x+24
Move the term. When moved to the left side it changes from positive to a negative. -2x=24-27.
-2x=-3
Divide both sides by -2
x=3/2 (x=1 1/2, x=1.5)
The correct answer is C. So, lets go first to the equations that determine the volume of these solids. For the cylinder, that is simple; pi*r*r*h where r is the radius, h is the height and pi is the constant 3.14. For the cone, it is not easy to derive but one gets that the formula is:

.
We notice thus that

. That holds irrespective of their radius or height; we only need to know that the heights and radii of the two objects are the same. Now, we have thus that:

.
We can check if this holds for Jared's statement; 1178/4712=0.25=1/4. So, it does not hold and thus Jared's statement is incorrect.
