Answer: a) zeros: x = {0, 4, -2}
b) as x → ∞, y → ∞
as x → -∞, y → ∞
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
I think you mean (a) find the zeros and (b) describe the end behavior
(a) Find the zeros by setting each factor equal to zero and solving for x:
x (x - 4) (x + 2)⁴ = 0
- x = 0 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = 4 Multiplicity of 1 --> odd multiplicity so it crosses the x-axis
- x = -2 <u>Multiplicity of 4 </u> --> even multiplicity so it touches the x-axis
Degree = 6
(b) End behavior is determined by the following two criteria:
- Sign of Leading Coefficient (Right side): Positive is ↑, Negative is ↓
- Degree (Left side): Even is same direction as right side, Odd is opposite direction of right side
Sign of the leading coefficient is Positive so right side goes UP
as x → ∞, y → ∞
Degree of 6 is Even so Left side is the same direction as right (UP)
as x → -∞, y → ∞
Answer:
Number of ducks = 37
Number of pigs = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x be the number of ducks
y be the number of pigs
According to given statement;
x+y=55 Eqn 1
2x+4y=146 Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2
2(x+y=55)
2x+2y=110 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110
2x+4y-2x-2y=36
2y=36
Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y=18 in Eqn 1
x+18=55
x = 55-18
x = 37
Hence,
Number of ducks = 37
Number of pigs = 18
Hey there,
So when finding the perimeter, we do addition.
So . . .
20 + 12 + 18 + 7+ 13+6
Your correct answer would be 76
Hope this helps.
