Answer:

As x approaches negative infinity, p(x) approaches positive infinity and q(x) approaches negative infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the polynomial and the sign of the leading coefficient will let us find the correct answer easily,

If you get a negative number (such as negative infinity) and you take it to an odd power, (for example 3), you will still get a negative number.

As q(x) has a positive leading coefficient, this means that as x approaches negative infinity, q(x)  will approach too negative infinity.

Since p(x) has an odd degree, but negative leading coefficient,

(-)*(-) = +

And this means that p(x) approaches positive infinity

Find the missing side length, and enter your answer in the box below. If
Savatey [412]

The missing side length is c = 25 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The given triangle has a 24 unit long adjacent side and a 7 unit long opposite side.

As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.

The length of the hypotenuse is given as c units.

Step 2:

According to Pythagoras theorem,

c^{2} = 24^{2} + 7^{2} = 576 + 49.

c^{2} = 625, c = 25.

So the missing length, c of the given triangle is 25 units.
